'PM IS HELLBENT ON SELLING OUT OUR BREXIT FREEDOMS

SIR Keir Starmer is ready to "surrender control" of the UK and accept EU food rules, say Brexiteers.

The Prime Minister and his Foreign Secretary, David Lammy have hailed a new era in relations with Brussels, ahead of a leaders' summit in London today.

But the Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel, left, warned that Labour is "hellbent on selling Britain out and giving up the Brexit freedoms we have benefited from". Britons' historic vote to quit the EU was dealt a fresh blow yesterday as a minister appeared to admit that the UK would accept its rules on food standards as part of a deal with the bloc.

Agreeing with the European Union on those regulations and on ones regarding plant and animal health, without the UK being able to influence the rules, would effectively take London back into Brussels' orbit.

Dame Priti said: "Labour are desperately dressing this up as some form of reset, but Express readers will not be fooled by Labour's lies as they cannot be trusted on anything and they can't be relied on to defend Brexit because they have never believed in it.

"From defence, migration co-operation, justice, fisheries and agreeing to make Britain a rule-taker once again under a process called dynamic alignment subjecting British businesses to EU laws and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice - Labour are surrendering control of our country to the EU."

She added: "The Foreign Secretary should apologise for his record of frightening and scaremongering the public on Brexit and his many Brexit-induced hysterical claims and personal criticism of those who voted Leave.

"As he and Labour bend their knee to their new masters from Brussels, they should be ashamed of their Brexit betrayal as they sabotage our freedoms and our future by placing the United Kingdom on a pathway back under the control of the EU." Shadow Cabinet minister Alex Burghart said the UK was on the "brink of this big capitulation".
