Labour could drag Britain back into the EU “by stealth”, as leaked documents showed Brussels wants the UK to cross Brexit red lines such as coming back under the command of the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

Sir Keir Starmer is trying to to “reset” Britain’s relationship with the EU – but the bloc wants the UK to agree to follow new and existing European food and agricultural standards.

According to The Sun, the secret documents reveal Brussels is plotting a new assault on British fishing waters before Sir Keir’s reset talks even begin.

The 27-state bloc also wants a youth mobility scheme allowing for freedom of movement for those under 30, in return for a security and crime agreement.

The Labour leader was asked on Monday night whether the EU was crossing any red lines in its attempts to lure the UK back into the European club.

His spokesman refused to rule out accepting concessions in return for an improved deal with Brussels.

The spokesman said: “The Prime Minister has been clear that we’ve left the EU, we’re not rejoining the single market, the customs union or [reintroducing] freedom of movement. That obviously remains the UK’s position.

“I’m not going to get into a running commentary beyond that of our discussions with EU allies. The point of these conversations is to improve the relationship with the EU and make a tangible difference to British people and businesses when it comes to trade, security and immigration.”

Lord Frost, who as Brexit negotiator freed Britain from the ECJ said His Majesty’s Government must avoid being coaxed back into the court.

He told The Sun: “Unless HMG rule out the European Court of Justice, we must assume they are open to the possibility.

“Anyone who thinks the solution to this country’s problems is giving foreign courts more powers over us is truly deluded.”

Former Tory MP Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg said Labour is “trying to take us back into the EU by stealth”, adding: “It’s a game of grandmother’s footsteps in the hope the British people won’t notice.”
