As we go into 2025 we will attempt to get a much better deal for the UK.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Downing Street said that Mr Sunak would not reopen the trade and co-operation agreement brokered with Brussels in &#8216;any way, shape or form&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>A statutory review of the deal is due in 2025, but government sources said this would be focused on technical issues.<\/p>\n<p>The PM&#8217;s spokesman said: &#8216;We&#8217;re not looking to relitigate the past or reopen it in any way, shape or form. Obviously there is a set statutory review period but beyond that we&#8217;re very much focused on maximising the opportunities it presents for the public.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Brussels expert Wolfgang Munchau said Sir Keir&#8217;s plan was &#8216;based on a delusion of a similar kind, that it is possible to stay outside the single market and the customs union, and get a better deal&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/22\/75547153-0-Sir_Keir_did_a_panel_event_with_Jonas_Gahr_St_re_left_at_the_sum-a-34_1695072655071.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sir Keir did a panel event with\u00a0Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re (left) at the summit in Montreal\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;This is a political lie.&#8217; Mr Munchau, director of the Eurointelligence website, said Sir Keir&#8217;s &#8216;repeated assertion that there is a better deal with the EU out there &#8230; is simply not true&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;If the EU plays hardball, as it surely will, pressure will grow from inside the Labour Party for another referendum.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mike Gapes, a former Labour chairman of the Commons foreign affairs committee, welcomed Sir Keir&#8217;s push for closer ties.<\/p>\n<p>But he warned the UK would not be able to have its cake and eat it \u2013 and said Labour would have to make major concessions to secure a closer deal. &#8216;Now comes the hard bit,&#8217; he said. &#8216;The EU is treaty- and rules-based.
