EU stitch-up is cods-wallop
NOT even in their wildest fantasies could the Brussels elite have imagined Britain’s Prime Minister would sign up to their nakedly vengeful Brexit “reset”.
Yet Sir Keir Starmer has managed to not only cede control over huge swathes of our lives to the EU and its expansionist court, sink the British fishing industry and reopen our borders to millions of workers . . . he’s agreed to pay billions for the privilege, too!

The Prime Minister insists Brits will be better off — thanks to a whopping 0.3 per cent of extra growth by 2040.
But what’s he really got in return (save for some breathless cheerleading by the Remainiacs at the BBC)?
Access to a £150billion security fund for our arms industry — but no guarantee we’ll actually get any contracts.
An energy pact which we will not only have to pay to enter but also means we will have to ask the EU for permission to ditch insane Net Zero targets.
Some co-operation on law and order which the bloc should never have refused in the first place.
And the sop of quicker passport queues for holidaymakers — but only if member states individually agree.
The EU, meanwhile, has filled its boots as well as its fishing trawlers.
The laughably named “Youth experience scheme” will allow in huge numbers of under-35 EU migrant workers.
The French and other coastal states get to plunder our fishing waters for another 12 YEARS.
And, if a future Tory or Reform Government tries to unpick this shameful stitch-up, we get punished with tariffs.
Meanwhile, the lifting of vindictive checks on our food exports — the PM’s biggest “win” — comes at the price of swallowing the EU’s rulebook.
Indeed, one line in the deal reveals the EU’s determination to bring our sovereign nation to heel again:
That in future talks over rules, Britain can only “contribute appropriately for a country that is not a member of the European Union to the decision- shaping process of the European Union.”
In other words: Get stuffed.
Labour’s bungling negotiators have replaced William Hague’s famous slogan that Britain should be “in Europe, not run by Europe” with a new mantra: “Out of Europe, run by Europe.”
It’s the worst of all worlds with further negotiations to come that are only likely to deliver MORE humiliation.
Already done up like a kipper, Sir Keir says he wants to move on from “old arguments” over Brexit.
But by returning Britain to the dread embrace of the failed European project, he has exploded them once again.
Far from taking back control — as we were once promised — our die-hard Remainer PM has meekly handed it back.
