I think both sides have ruled out that this is talking about the uk rejoining the eu in any way, shape orform, or even the customs union, for that matter. But what this is about is some quite concrete bilateral talks. This is the fifth meeting, but this is the first official visit of the Prime Minister to berlin. And its just two months after he was elected as Prime Minister. Now, for his predecessor, rishi sunak, it took 18 months. And i thinkjust that alone is a signal of what london wants to achieve. Its, on the one hand, its a strong signal that the uk is now open for business with germany and, you know, is very serious about pushing forward some quite concrete bilateral agreements, particularly on defence, because i think Thats Something that the two countries are keen on working together on.
