Countries, which are applying for EU membership don't "negotiate" anything, as it goes like that =
The UK has to apply for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if NONE of the EU27 member states vetos the UK joining the EU, only then the UK/GB would receive the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the 35 chapters have to be fulfilled/implemented properly (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if not done properly, joining process stops instantly.
No exceptions, no cherry picking, no fast track, no opt outs, as stated by various EUs negotiators/spokesmen various times since years...
It's mandatory for ALL NEW EU member states, to join the Schengen area and adapt the €/Euro, as soon as the new EU member state has a stabile enough economy...
The UK doesn't even fulfill the needed criteria for APPLYING for EU membership at the moment = a national debt of max 55 %, the UKs national debt is at 101,2 % recently...
Estimated time needed for joining the EU are minimum 15+ years AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria, as stated by various EUs negotiators/spokesmen various times, they know due to experience of other countries joining process.
EUs joining criteria =
article 49 TEU

Well, unfortunately it looks like, that many Brits don't seem to understand the EU, how it works, and which "joining" criteria are for which "parts" of the EU and/or EFTA...Starmer, being a lawyer, of course knows about the needed criteria, therefor can't promise something, which can't be promised, as it is up to the EU27 only, to decide, which country can join the EU and when...
When people/Brits, don't know the facts, of course they're getting angry about Starmer, thinking, that he won't "fulfill" their wishes = a quick joining the SM...which in reality isn't available...as written before...

Whatever. . just believe harder ...looking at the recent situation the UK is in = raising cases of Victorian deseases = rickets and scurvy, bankrupt cities/communities, like Birmingham and Nottingham etc, crumbling raac buildings, potholes in the roads, sewage in all British waters, heat or eat issues, food banks for hospital staff at hospitals, etc, etc...
Fitch affirms UK rating AA-
outlook negative
Fitch affirms Germany rating AAA
outlook stable
Fitch affirms the EU rating AAA
outlook stable
UKs national debt is at 101,2 %
Germany's national debt 66,3 %
The EU27 have put up € ONE TRILLION for going green = the EUs "green deal"
The EU27 are the biggest supporter of Ukraine, financially, military and humanitarian aid, and took about 4 million Ukrainian refugees...
Germany is by far the second largest donor to Ukraine and has taken about 1.1ish million Ukrainian refugees so far (figures still raising)
"EU can't even defend itself".... but UK can? 😂
You're aware, that there is NATO, of which the UK is member, like most EU member states?
And that there is the biggest NATO maneuvers happening recently? With 90.000 troops, btw, at the moment the maneuvers are ongoing in Poland, where British/German pioneers are Training, to get the other NATO troops across Polands biggest river...

NO.
The Treaty of Rome in 1957 set up the EEC, bringing together Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands = to work together towards integration and economic growth through trade ...it established a common market based on the free movement of goods, people, services and capital...
When will you Brits do some research about "the EU27", how it works and what it's for...before always over and over again posting "wrong facts"?!!
Please look up for Robert Schuman, the "father of Europe", born in Luxembourg (at that time German, later French), who's idea of a European Union started in the 1920s.
Robert Schuman was the first President of the European Parliament.
His book "for Europe" is available at the EUs Commission site...
Please look up for Jean Monnet, the other "architect" of the EU = the "Schuman plan"...

My post was about, that it was neither Thatcher nor any other Brit, who's "idea" it was, to "create" the EUs SM, as it was already part of the treaty of Rome in 1957...as "the EU27" are in a permanent developing "modus", therefor the treaty of Rome still is the core of todays EUs SM/EEA...
This part of the EUs developing "history/backround" lots of you Brits still don't seem to understand...

All of that, what the EU27 are today, exists already in the Schuman plan ☺️
While there are hundreds and thousands of EUropean citizens were/are involved of developing todays EU27...only the Brits are permanently claiming "what great influence they had on creating the EU27"... no other EUs member state are doing so, as it is a peace project for all of us 450ish million EU citizens...
"United in diversity, all for one, one for all, together we're strong. THAT are the EU27 ☺️
No EU member state is more important than the other ...

@davidrenton Oh dear...
The EU27/Germany will replace all fossil fuels (oil, coal, nat gas) with green hydrogen, the goal is focused on 2030-2045.
Hydrogen can be used as storage battery for the overloads from the offshore windmills and others as well as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper etc as well.
Lots of start ups are working on alternative storage possibilities as well.
Electrolyseurs (wind to power) are under construction everywhere as well.
Arcelor-Mittal Bremen steel mill and Saarstahl steel mill received €1,3 billion EU subsidies each to build their own electrolyseurs/windmills and arc furnaces, to produce green steel in the near future.
In 2022 the World wide first 14 hydrogen powered trains (Alstom) started their service in Lower Saxony/Germany
Airbus Bremen is developing hydrogen powered airplanes in cooperation with the Ariane Group/OHB Bremen, the goal is focused on 2035
Please look up for the "clean hydrogen coast line", a project run by the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany, Fraunhofer Institute Bremerhaven is involved as well, all subsidiesed by the EU and gvts
Fraunhofer Institute Bremerhaven = hydrogen lab
Please look up for Wolfspeed, a US company which is building a gigafactory for semi conductors at the Federal State of Saarland/Germany
Infenion near Dresden
Bosch near Dresden
TSMC (Taiwanese company which will build a gigafactory for micro chips) at Silicon Saxony near Dresden
Intel near Magdeburg
Northvolt near Hamburg
Ford near Cologne
VW is building 3 gigafactories for EVs batteries, one at Lower Saxony/Germany, one in Sweden in cooperation with Northvolt and one in Spain or Portugal
Microsoft will build a data center for AI in North Rhine Westphalia until 2026
Etc, etc...
Btw, "those things the UK solved 20 years ago" = are you talking about the UK is finally switching its analogue telephone/landline connections to high speed glass fiber connections as my British family and friends were telling me?!!

As written before, not electricity is needed, but a gas (in this case = green hydrogen) as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper, medical units for dialysis, Aspirin, dairy products, tires, all sorts of plastic, cosmetic products, etc...THAT can't be produced with electricity only...
About "hydrogen doesn't have a future"... errr...yess, it does... and one would think, if about 45 countries world wide with about ONE BILLION people living there, are "going green" by using hydrogen in the near future, that they're knowing, what they're doing...
The re-opening of some of Germany's coal power plants will be used only temporarily...as written before = the goal is focused on 2030-2045.
Of course Germany still has six research reactors.....or did you think, that that country, which discovered/invented nuclear fission (Hahn/Meitner) would give up on it completely ? 😎
Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands have taken over from Russia with delivering nat gas to the EU27...
Forgot to say, 2022 Germany was doing the back up power for France, as France had to shut down half of its nuclear power plants because of low water levels in the rivers due to the recent heat wave (2022) and urgently needed maintenance. Most of that back up power got delivered by renewables (wind, solar, water) from Germany 😊
In case you're coming up with more "facts", to prove, how much "better" the UK is doing....the London laundromat is by far that location, where dirty Russian money gets "cleaned" again...
Ahhh, yess, aaand = the EU27 are collapsing again since decades at any minute 🙄 😂
And again, the British obsession about the EU27, France and Germany is quite amusing... considering, that UK left the EU27 😂😎
Thanks for Brexiting with greetings from the EU27 🖐
....still .fighting WW II....and afterwords.... something to relax = cat videos...oh dear, so sad, never mind 😂😎

@davidrenton 🙄
You were blaming Germany having started twice a ww... which isn't correct !!
I strongly recommend you to read the book =
"How Europe went into WWI" by Sir Christopher Clark
What about the "British Empire"? no answer on that?!!
It was expected ...
Btw, "UK had an agreement with Belgium"...and Russia had one with Serbia, which started the war, and Germany had one with Austria....etc, etc...
And if the British Empire hadn't been doing, what it did 100 years ago = "installing artificial borders without taking care of the already existing tribal/territorial borders" in todays Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, etc, etc...we wouldn't have all those "issues" ongoing there until these days.. !!
Guess what, most refugees coming over here into the EU27, are coming from exactly those areas...

Here some history lesson for you =
Austro-Hungarian Empire (look at a map), did an ultimatum to Serbia, if not...
What was it about? Austro-Hungarian authorities wanted to send their own police to investigate the assasination of its crown prince, Serbia refused.
The German Kaiser wrote two letters to the Austrian Kaiser, in the first one he confirmed the status quo as an allie of Austria...
Serbia gave in, therefor the German Kaiser wrote a second letter to the Austrian Kaiser, stating, that a war is obsolete now, as Serbia had given in...
Austro-Hungarian started the invasion of Serbia anyway, Russia stepped in being an allie of Serbia, etc, etc ..
France still was annoyed, that it lost the French-German war 1870-1871 = France invaded Germany and lost...
It's not as simple as one might think...
Again = read the book = "the Sleepwalkers, how Europe went into WWI" by Sir Christopher Clark
