£25bn prize at stake in Starmer's Brexit reset talks with EU
Alicja Hagopian and David Maddox, The Independent A £25bn annual boost to British exports is at stake for Sir Keir Starmer as he tries to secure a Brexit reset deal at a crucial summit on Monday, analysis shared with The Independent reveals. Removing trade barriers on goods, including food and drink and electrical items, could result in a 2.2 per cent uplift in gross domestic product in the long run, boosting the economic growth the prime minister so desperately wants to deliver, financial analysts Frontier Economics found. And a separate assessment by the National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR) warns that a failure to land a deal for easier trading could lead to a 2.7 per cent drop in exports by 2027, costing the UK economy almost £30bn. The impact on the British economy from such a deal is expected to dwarf that of the agreements recently signed with India and the US. On Saturday night, Sir Keir said it would be 'good for our jobs, good for our bills and good for our borders'. Gordon Brown's former economic adviser Lord Jim O'Neill summed up the importance of Sir Keir's summit in London: 'Obviously, the closer and more serious we can get, the better it is for reversing our net trade losses, and importantly, net investment from EU areas. 'Given the shock from Trump (tariffs) to Europe, especially on Germany, on top of the Ukraine shock and China slowdown, I think Germany (will be) more open to pro-UK trade issues than before. 'Also, I suspect the EU is going to give more than lip service to cross-border services sector reform now. Given UK net advantages in service sector exports, this is important to us.' Such reforms could make it easier for the UK to sell services to the bloc by allowing mutual recognition of qualifications so UK professionals can practice in the EU and vice versa without having a retrain. NIESR's interim director Stephen Millard said the value of Monday's deal should not be underestimated. He said: 'In 2024 we exported roughly £6.5bn to India, roughly £53.5bn to the United States and roughly £159bn to the European Union. It is fairly clear from those numbers that a trade deal with the European Union is much more likely to shift the dial than the deals with India and the United States.' His assessment was echoed by Chris Southworth, director general of the UK's largest business organisation, the International Chambers of Commerce, who noted that the trade deal signed with Donald Trump, which saw tariffs slashed on UK car and steel exports, was a 'damage limitation agreement' and only accounted for 13 per cent of international gross domestic product (GDP). But he fears the deal to be unveiled on Monday 'may not be ambitious enough' especially if it only focuses on goods rather than the future growth areas of digital services. It is a view shared by the Labour chair of the Commons foreign affairs committee Dame Emily Thornberry. In an interview with The Independent, she called on Sir Keir to be more 'courageous', adding: 'We should be going further than the government currently seems to have the ambition for doing.' The deal is expected to include closer defence cooperation, goods and services, and a youth mobility agreement, which would allow 18- to 30-year-olds to live and work in the UK and Europe for a time-limited period. It has also been reported that it will include an agreement to allow EU trawlers to fish in British waters. Two immediate big wins could be to include the UK in the €150bn (£126bn) EU defence procurement fund, which would allow the government to bid for military equipment contracts and invite them to join the EU data hub. The latter is being championed by Poland, who currently have the presidency of the EU. A special report from earlier this year found that Brexit had cost the UK £30.2bn in settlement costs, stopped 16,400 businesses from exporting to the EU, and could lead to a 15 per cent long-term loss of trade. From the £24.8bn export boost for the UK estimated by Frontier Economics in a report commissioned by pro-EU group Best for Britain, farm food exports alone could see a £3.2bn increase. Agricultural exports have suffered since Brexit, with food and drink exports down by more than a third, according to trade bodies. The EU, meanwhile, would also benefit, with a £22.4bn boost to exports in goods and services from a closer agreement, selling £5bn more in agricultural products. Amar Breckenridge, senior associate at Frontier Economist, said that some of the economic damage caused by President Trump's tariffs could be offset by the benefits of a closer EU trading relationship. While tariffs could still cost the UK £4.3bn in GDP under the new US trade deal, Mr Breckenridge estimates the UK could claw back £8.1bn from closer trading with the EU. The long-awaited youth mobility scheme alone could boost GDP by 0.45 per cent in the next decade, according to a separate study from the Centre for European Reform. But recent reports suggest that the deal might hit speed bumps in a row over high student fees for EU students coming to the UK, in addition to a lack of flexibility over the amount of fish EU countries can take from British waters.

UAE Healthcare Breaks Ground with Historic Surgeries and Future-Ready Innovations in 2025
The UAE's healthcare sector is cementing its global leadership in 2025 through a string of landmark procedures and groundbreaking innovations across critical specialties. From historic surgeries to futuristic tech, the nation's medical institutions are redefining excellence. Kings College Hospital London Dubai recently performed the city's first liver transplant on a 13-month-old child, born with biliary atresia and a congenital heart defect. The complex case, supported by Al Jalila Foundation, highlights the depth of pediatric expertise now available locally. Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi made global headlines with the world's first remotely performed robotic-assisted focal therapy for prostate cancer. Using the Focal-One system, the procedure eliminated the need for invasive surgery. The hospital also carried out the UAE's first simultaneous robotic kidney transplant for donor and recipient using a single robot. Women's health saw a leap forward at Corniche Hospital with a minimally invasive egg collection and freezing procedure, offering a new frontier in fertility care. In regenerative medicine, the Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Centre reported promising results for Type 1 diabetes treatment using umbilical cord-derived stem cells. Major strides were also revealed at Arab Health 2025, where Emirates Health Services introduced two ambitious projects: artificial heart transplantation and pancreatic cell transplantation. Meanwhile, a clinical trial in Abu Dhabi on StromaForte for knee osteoarthritis showed strong potential in cell-based therapy. Looking ahead, M42 will bring heavy ion therapy—among the most advanced cancer treatments—to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. The hospital also launched a BioButton-powered remote monitoring programme for cancer patients during Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week, underscoring the UAE's commitment to personalized, tech-driven care. With AI, robotics, and precision medicine at the forefront, the UAE continues to reshape the future of global healthcare. News Source: Emirates News Agency
