Foreign Affairs 🇫🇷 Starmer’s French Correction, with Lord Peter Ricketts
Manage episode 432732494 series 2609648
An occasional series on how Britain is fixing its battered foreign relationships. Today: After the combative Tory years, Keir Starmer is trying to reset the Anglo-French connection. What do we want from France and what does Paris want from us? Britain’s former Ambassador to France Lord Peter Ricketts talks to Ros Taylor about whether Starmer and Macron are natural allies, the damage caused by Brexit, and what France’s “deep unease” with itself means for Britain.
• “I would not have relished being Ambassador to France and having my friends ask ‘Poor Britain, what are you doing?’”
• “By about 2020-21, things were at rock bottom… When Liz Truss was asked ‘France, friend of foe?’ and she replied that the jury was still out.”
