UK access to EU crime and illegal migration data reportedly denied

The UK's request for access to EU crime and migration data was denied, undermining efforts by Labour to reset UK-EU relations and clear asylum claims. Prime Minister Starmer had reportedly expressed EU interest in the SIS and Eurodac systems before, but their absence has been rejected. Transport Secretary Lord Moylan criticized the approach as "magic bullet" without action, while potential progress on work and travel freedoms exists if the UK concedes to youth mobility concessions.
