## Key points

- Tories say the EU reset could cost £23 billion over ten years.
- Their estimate equates to £1,220 per working family.
- Labour disputes the figures and says trade deals could bring benefits.

## Summary

Kemi Badenoch says a leaked draft of the planned UK-EU reset could require Britain to help fund regional and net zero projects in EU countries, costing working families £1,220 each over ten years. The claims have prompted a political dispute over the price of closer ties and whether the expected trade benefits justify the commitments.

The Conservatives put the potential national bill at £23 billion, including £13 billion in regional funding, alongside possible payments for Erasmus+, EU students’ tuition fees and the Channel Action Plan. The government is preparing to discuss the reset at a summit on 20 November. Andy Burnham says new trade deals could add 0.4 per cent to UK GDP, while Labour rejects the Conservatives’ figures as made up and says the deals could help farmers and families.
