Slippery Starmer paves way for a Brexit surrender

MAKE no mistake tomorrow is an EU surrender summit. Try as they might to convince everyone day is night, it is the latest step in Keir Starmer's walk back into the arms of the EU.

- By Gareth Davies SHADOW TREASURY MINISTER

Many people up and down the country voted for Brexit on the promise of delivering a vision of a global, buccaneering Britain making our own rules, forging game-changing trade deals and being lawmakers, not law takers.

But the only vision our mediocre, middle manager-in-chief has in mind is one of dismal, managed decline. The jobs tax, the family farms tax, the winter fuel payment all of it in the service of realising a grey and grisly vision of Britain.

Tomorrow will be no different, because when Labour negotiates, Britain loses.

As well as giving us the ability to tighten our borders, one of the main benefits of Brexit is the ability to sign our own trade deals.

But Labour has dropped the ball on that, too. The India trade deal handed tax breaks to Indian workers at a time when taxes are going up for British workers, and Starmer's talks with US President Donald Trump left us with worse US tariffs than we had in March.
