UK can avoid euro but must accept free movement to rejoin EU, says former top Brexit negotiator – UK politics live

Michel Barnier, former EU Brexit negotiator, stated that the UK could potentially rejoin the EU without adopting the euro. He emphasized that while new EU members are generally required to join the eurozone, there is room for negotiation regarding this obligation. Barnier clarified that the EU would not compromise on free movement and that any rejoining would necessitate adherence to the single market rules. This statement counters claims made by Nigel Farage, who suggested that rejoining would automatically require euro adoption. Today's political agenda includes various events, including a press conference by Farage.
