Keir Starmer was accused of a great Brexit betrayal last night after agreeing a death that hands Brussels control of British laws, money and fish.
The Prime Minister faced a furious backlash over a ‘surrender pact’ that will make Britain a ‘rule-taker’, forced to follow EU diktats with no say over them.
Sir Keir agreed to restart payments to the EU budget which could run into hundreds of millions of pounds a year. And, to the fury of Britain’s beleaguered fishermen, he caved in to French demands to allow access for EU trawlers until at least 2038 – more than 20 years after the public voted to take back control.
The agreement also paves the way for a ‘youth mobility deal’ which could eventually grant 80 million young Europeans the right to live and work temporarily in the UK.
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage both pledged to scrap the deal if they win power at the next election.
