A senior political figure has called for a closer strategic alliance with the European Union, proposing a new "Growth and Defence Partnership" to strengthen economic and security cooperation. The suggestion was made during a speech to the party’s annual conference, signaling a shift toward deeper EU integration in key policy areas. While details remain limited, the proposal highlights growing discussions about balancing national sovereignty with collective European initiatives. Supporters may see it as a pragmatic step, while critics could question its implications for national independence.
Deputy leader Daisy Cooper also proposes a Growth and Defence Partnership with the EU in a speech to her party conference.
