UK general election: a new beginning?

On Thursday the 4th of July, the UK goes to the polls in a general election that could see the Labour Party return to power after 14 years in opposition.
PM Rishi Sunak’s premiership has been marked by an improvement in the EU-UK relationship: first with the signing of the Windsor Agreement and the later with the UK rejoining the Horizon Europe programme as an associated country.
Meanwhile, while the Labour Party has made it a priority to improve cooperation with the EU, it has also ruled out joining the customs union, the single market, and re-establishing free movement. All of which constrains the Labour’s options for pursuing a more ambitious relationship.
So, what are the issues dominating the UK general election and what could a change of government in the UK mean for the future of the EU-UK relationship?
Think Tank Europa has invited Professor Anand Menon, Director the UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) Think Tank, based out of Kings College London, to join us for a webinar to discuss the UK general election and the future of the EU-UK relationship.
