Despite the announced resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Jürgen Hardt, the foreign policy spokesperson for the CDU parliamentary group, maintains that the collaboration between Berlin and London remains reliable. Hardt told the “Rheinische Post” that Starmer’s decision to step down deserves respect. He added that this move allows for a structured transition and a fresh start for the Labour government, even in a difficult situation. The CDU politician expressed his confidence that the UK will continue to be a reliable partner within the E3 framework and remain firmly supportive of Ukraine, regardless of who is in power. Hardt further stated that the Labour Party is not advocating for a shift in major foreign, security, or European policy directions, and that Labour retains its broad majority in the British House of Commons. The E3 format comprises France, Great Britain, and Germany.
