Keir Starmer Set to Cave to EU in Shocking Brexit U-Turn That Could Change Everything

Keir Starmer and the Labour Party are now talking about making a new trade deal with the EU, but it seems like they’re giving up too much. Instead of protecting the UK’s interests, it sounds like the government might just agree to what the EU wants.

The EU has very clear goals. They want more young people and migrants from Europe to come and live in the UK. They want the UK to follow EU business and trade rules again, which would mostly help EU companies, not British ones. They also want to keep other global businesses out of the UK market, so there’s less competition for their own goods.

One of the big concerns is fishing. The EU still wants most of the fish in UK waters, like when we were part of the EU’s fishing system that was harmful to British fishermen. Labour promised not to bring back free movement and not to rejoin the single market, but now it seems they’re willing to bend on those promises.

A new idea being discussed is something called the “Youth Opportunities Scheme.” It would allow anyone aged 18 to 30 from the EU to come live, study, or work in the UK. Many in that age group don’t have high-paying jobs or savings, and the UK is already struggling to keep up with the number of migrants arriving, both legal and illegal. We don’t have enough affordable housing, public services, or infrastructure like water and broadband for the people already here.

Right now, EU citizens can apply for a visa if they have a job offer or a place at a university. Students can also work while studying. That should be enough. The idea of opening up further is worrying for many who feel the system is already under pressure.

Another issue is that the EU wants the UK to follow even more of its business laws. But unlike before, the UK won’t even get a say in how those laws are made. In return, the EU might allow a bit more flexibility for some UK food exports, like cheese—but that’s hardly a fair trade. In the past, the EU used laws and funding to push British farmers aside and fill UK shelves with EU goods. There’s no reason to believe things will change.

The government is also thinking about letting EU fishing boats continue taking a large share of our fish. These boats, especially massive supertrawlers, take too many fish and damage the ocean environment. It’s time to stop this. We should take back control of our fishing areas next year. UK fishermen should get a bigger share, and the government should help by funding new boats and local fishing businesses.

Right now, the EU gets most of the quotas for valuable fish in UK waters—sometimes up to 90% or more, like 97% of sand eels. That’s unfair. Other countries don’t hand over their fish like this, and neither should we.

The UK government seems to be negotiating poorly, giving up too much for very little in return. Taking in more low-paid migrants, accepting more EU laws, and losing out on our fish would be a mistake. It wouldn’t help the economy—it could actually hurt it by making a trade deal with the US harder and making the UK look weak to the rest of the world.

Since leaving the EU, the UK has made strong trade progress with the rest of the world, especially in services. But now, the government is making it harder for some of our top exports like oil, gas, and cars to reach the EU. That’s why EU trade is falling behind. Brexit didn’t reduce our trade—it gave us freedom. We now have the chance to make better deals worldwide. We shouldn’t let the EU hold us back again.
