Keir Starmer is preparing to blow up Britain’s newly-found democratic sovereignty to decide its own laws, in order to pick a fight with Nigel Farage.
The Prime Minister is reportedly planning brand new legislation that would return swathes of key decision-making powers back to Brussels as part of his ideological crusade to quietly reverse Brexit.
The new legislation is set to give the EU the sole right to alter huge areas of British law such as food standards, animal welfare and the environment.
However unlike previously, as a member state of the EU, Britain will no longer have any ability to influence the laws and red tape passed by Brussels’ bureaucrats.
The move is set to spark further accusations that Keir Starmer is undemocratically reversing the 2016 referendum result, without a mandate to do so.

Earlier this week Sir Keir Starmer finally admitted that he is prepared to get closer to the EU’s Single Market.
While Labour’s 2024 election manifesto promissed “no return to the single market, the customs union or freedom of movement”, speaking on Laura Kuenssberg’s show on Sunday, Sir Keir said: “I think we should get closer, and if it’s in our national interest to have even closer alignment with the single market, then we should consider that, we should go that far.”
“I think it’s in our national interest to go further.
“What I would say about the customs union is that I argued for a customs union for many years with the EU, but a lot of water has now gone under the bridge.
“I do understand why people are saying ‘wouldn’t it be better to go to the customs union?’ I actually think that now we’ve done deals with the US which are in our national interest, now we’ve done deals with India which are in our national interest, we are better looking to the single market rather than the customs union for our further alignment.”
This evening ministers insisted that the plans to hand Brussels huge powers over the British way of life would make little overall difference, as many manufacturers are already compliant with EU law in order to export to the continent.
However it would lessen the need for expensive and time-consuming paperwork for businesses and farmers who wish to export to the EU.
Labour has said it is “very happy to have the fight” over the Brexit culture war with Reform UK, in the hope to brings deserting left-wing voters back into Labour’s folds and away from the Greens and Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party.
Responding to the PM’s comments on Sunday, Reform UK deputy Richard Tice blasted: “This die-hard Remainer Prime Minister, surrounded by a cabinet of fellow remainers, is hell-bent on bringing Britain back into Brussels’ orbit by any means necessary.
“Closer alignment with the single market means handing over our hard-won sovereignty and accepting freedom of movement. That would shatter yet another Labour election pledge and betray the millions who voted to take back control of our borders. Why would we want to get closer to a failing EU economic model where Germany is in recession”
