LEO MCKINSTRY: Starmer's plotting to drag us into the EU once again

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Emboldened by its ascendancy, the EU will accelerate the pace of Britain's reintegration.
58% : Indeed, its ambitious size is an indicator of Labour's enthusiasm for allowing the EU to take back control.
57% : In the name of protecting the environment and removing barriers to trade, Britain already accepts a host of EU rules, such as the requirements that caps be attached to plastic bottles, or that car interiors are equipped with an arsenal of warning signals.
54% : With the Labour Government adopting a submissive stance, it is likely that Britain will soon accept the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, as well as EU rules on professional standards, carbon taxes, agricultural exports and veterinary checks on live animals and foodstuffs.
53% : Ministers declare that their aim is to boost trade, not political unification.
52% : The EU is insisting that no 'reset' agreement will be possible unless Britain allows European fishing trawlers continued access to our waters.
52% : But if Labour could drop their blinkered faith in the EU, they would see that Britain could have a rich democratic future without the shackles of Brussels.
47% : But the EU is moving in exactly the opposite direction.
43% : While the US and parts of Asia roar forward through freedoms to innovate and invest, the EU remains mired in its sclerotic culture of dependency, living beyond its means.
37% : Sir Keir with European Council president Antonio Costa at No 10 last weekThe Labour Government strongly denies that its proposed 'reset' of EU relations will hollow out Brexit.
36% : Surrendering to the EU would be an economic catastrophe.
34% : So under Starmer, Britain could end up with the worst of all worlds, our democratic liberties lost and our economy dragged down by the EU, unable to exploit the global opportunities for which the public voted.
