Ten years after the Brexit referendum, Germany and the UK are rebuilding their relationship. The stability of this rapprochement is now being tested as Keir Starmer is set to be replaced as prime minister.

The rapprochement between Berlin and London comes after years of strained relations following the 2016 Brexit vote. Both countries had recently placed renewed emphasis on bilateral cooperation.

Now the impending change of power in Britain threatens to jeopardize the newly gained momentum. Keir Starmer is set to be replaced. Who will succeed him remains open.

The future direction of British foreign and European policy depends largely on the new leadership. Observers expect that German-British relations could face another test of endurance after the leadership change.
