The UK is gearing up for its upcoming general election on Thursday, with the Labour party expected to secure a significant victory over the Conservatives. As the nation prepares to choose its next government, the question arises – how would a Labour government in the UK impact the EU? Could this result in any substantial changes in UK-EU relations? Euronews reporter Mared Jones sheds light on this topic, pointing out that the EU may have a renewed interest in strengthening its ties with the UK in the current political climate.
Aside from the UK general election, the European Parliament is also in the midst of discussions regarding top jobs and the formation of political groups.

These developments could potentially shape the future direction of EU policies and decision-making processes.
