Social Europe Podcast

Social Europe
The mission of Social Europe (SE) is to strengthen democracy by finding and discussing solutions to the most pressing political, economic and social issues of our time. We use the values of freedom, sustainability and equality as the foundation on which we examine society's most pressing challenges.

We are committed to publishing cutting-edge thinking and new ideas from the most thought-provoking people. Our in-depth analyses and constructive proposals seek to link policy-making to wider societal concerns. It is our goal to promote progressive societies, sustainable economies and responsible business.
In this episode of Social Europe Podcast, Professor Anand Menon of Kings College London and Social Europe Editor-in-Chief Professor Henning Meyer discuss the recent changes in the UK-EU relationship under the new UK government led by Sir Keir Starmer. They explore the implications of Labour's policy priorities, the tone of diplomatic relations, and the potential for bilateral initiatives, particularly in defence. The discussion also covers trade agreements, economic cooperation, and the challenges posed by regulatory divergence in emerging technologies. They conclude by examining the future of UK-EU relations amidst political dynamics and external pressures, including the war in Ukraine.
