Britain marked five years since its exit from the European Union on Friday, but the anniversary received little attention as Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer seeks to establish closer ties with the bloc.
LONDON, United Kingdom - Britain left the European Union five years ago on Friday, but the anniversary was met with little fanfare as Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer seeks closer relations with the bloc.Starmer, who voted to remain during the 2016 Brexit referendum, had no plans to mark the occasion, which fell just days before he heads to Brussels for talks with European counterparts.
But Brexit cheerleader Nigel Farage, whose hard-right Reform UK party are riding high in the polls, said he was "disappointed in the way it's been delivered".The UK has not been able to sign many of the major trade deals touted by Brexiteers, notably with the United States and Canada, while the economy has been enduring little-to-no growth for months.
