Why is Sir Keir Starmer talking about Brexit?

It’s almost a decade since the referendum on leaving the EU – and it feels like Sir Keir Starmer has turned up the dial on his Brexit rhetoric.

He said it would be “reckless” to use Brexit as a template for foreign policy.

Sam and Anne discuss what the PM had to say.

Elsewhere, how good is the UK-US zero-tariff drugs deal really, and how are voters feeling about Labour as the budget dust starts to settle?

Anne has some intel on the race to replace Lord Mandelson as the UK’s Ambassador to the United States.

Plus, a listener asks why the PM didn’t dress properly for the Guildhall last night.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
