Starmer lines up ultimate Brexit betrayal – and he’ll make sure you don’t get a say in it
Let’s be honest, we knew it was coming. Labour was always going to reverse Brexit.

I actually voted Remain, but when the result was in, I accepted it. We’d had the debate, and the people had spoken. My liberal friends, however, went berserk. They raged about how stupid Leave voters were (all 17.4million of them) and how Nigel Farage was a racist liar. Then they tried to block Brexit at every turn, pushing for a second referendum. They behaved like spoiled children whose favourite toy had been snatched away.
They haven’t stopped. And they won’t. They’ll keep pushing until they get their way. Because that’s what establishment liberals do. It’s what the EU does. Denmark voted against the Maastricht treaty in 1992. They were made to vote again. Our political elite made sure Brits didn’t even get a say. The Irish rejected EU treaties and were forced back to the polls. Norway has voted twice against joining the EU, in 1972 and 1994, but its elites keep pushing. If the Norwegians give in, there’ll be no more votes.
Starmer won’t make us vote on Brexit again. Even he knows that would tear the country apart. So instead, he’s bringing us back into the EU orbit by stealth. It’s what this Labour government does.
Remember the election, when Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves claimed they’d raise taxes by just £8.6billion, targeting only non-doms, private schools and oil and gas companies? They knew how we’d vote if they told us the truth, that they’d hike taxes by £66billion.
Now Starmer is taking the same approach to the EU. He’s rejoining by stealth, hoping we won’t notice. Labour’s pledge to improve market access for UK exporters depends on accepting EU demands on regulation, state aid and employment law. This forces us to follow Brussels laws we no longer helps to shape.
His EU youth mobility scheme will give 80million people a pass into the UK. Starmer insists this isn’t free movement, but it’s the first step in that direction. More will follow.
European courts are slowly gaining more influence over UK law, weakening parliamentary sovereignty. And Starmer won’t rule out a full return to the EU.
Starmer is driving through reintegration by default across defence, climate and industrial policy, without a referendum or explicit public mandate.
He’s being driven by left-wing MPs who blame every UK problem on Brexit. The unions are pushing too.
Brexit has been thwarted at every turn. It means we haven’t fully seized the chance to set our own immigration rules or shed EU red tape.
Moving closer to the failing economies of the EU will limit our ability to strike independent trade deals with much faster-growing parts of the world, and establish ourselves as a global trading power.
Slowly but surely, Starmer is giving up one Brexit freedom after another. Nobody voted for this – and that’s exactly how Labour likes it.
