Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, has suggested a desire to align more closely with EU rules, during an international summit in Canada.

In footage by Sky News, Sir Keir, speaking to a gathering of self-styled “progressive” leaders from around the world, said that reducing divergence between the UK and EU would lead to less friction and open up different ways of problem-solving.
