Starmer warns of march of far-Right after talking up post-Brexit 'reset'

The Prime Minister also talked up prospects for a post-Brexit "reset" in Britain's approach to Europe after he visited Berlin en route to Paris, but ruled out German leader Olaf Scholz's push to revive free movement for young people.

Sir Keir was on friendly terms with Mr Macron last night when they met at the opening of the Paralympics in Paris, with the PM cheering on Team GB as they joined the procession of athletes.

Ahead of his meeting with Mr Macron, Sir Keir this morning met GB athletes at their prep camp in Saint-Germainen-Laye, west Paris.

He spoke to coaches Maria Adey and Pamela Robson, before meeting shot putters Aled Davies and Funmi Oduwaiye and javelin thrower Ben Pembroke.

They discussed their preparation for the Paralympics, disabled people's access to sport and inspiring the next generation before Davies and Oduwaiye demonstrated shot putting techniques for the Prime Minister.
