UK seeks high-paid EU negotiator to lead post-Brexit reset, amid party disputes.

The UK government is seeking a high-level EU negotiator, with a salary between £153,000 and £200,000, to lead the "reset" of its relationship with the European Union. This role will advise the Prime Minister and the minister for EU relations on matters concerning the EU and will oversee negotiations for the renewal of the UK-EU Trade and Co-operation Agreement in 2025. The position has faced criticism from the Conservative party, which argues it undermines Brexit, but Labour insists the role aims to improve trade and security ties without compromising sovereignty.
