Starmer’s Brexit betrayal
from The Daily T
The Prime Minister has, in his words, struck a "win-win" deal with the European Union which will begin a "new era" in UK-EU relations, arguing that he's "delivering what the British public voted for last year".The big problem is that, by allowing EU boats access to UK fishing waters until 2038 and agreeing to align with EU food standards, Starmer seems to be ignoring what the British public actually voted for back in 2016.There's no doubt that this is another step moving the UK closer to the bloc - but are we now on a path back into the EU as many suspect Starmer would like? Kamal and Tim are joined by the Telegraph's Europe editor James Crisp, fresh from the summit at Lancaster House, and by Boris Johnson’s EU negotiator Lord David Frost.Producers: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Robbie NicholsVideo Editor: Andy MackenzieStudio Operator: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.
