Nigel Farage has condemned Keir Starmer’s renegotiation with Brussels yesterday as an “act of humiliation” in a brutal tear down.
The Reform UK leader pointed out that Keir Starmer’s big meeting with EU leaders in Belgium yesterday took place at the same building in which Ted Heath signed Britain’s sovereignty away in 1973.
He described the symbolic venue as “a bit disturbing” before describing the PM’s anti-Brexit grovelling as “completely unnecessary”.
The Clacton MP fumed: “That was an act of humiliation. It was completely unnecessary, but Starmer went along with it.
“I think the most alarming thing that came out of last night was the agreement to deepen industrial collaboration.

“Does that mean we’re joining part of an EU industrial policy? Does it mean, in terms of defence, we’re joining their procurement programmes?
“There are still a lot of unanswered questions, but I didn’t like the language at all. And the very fact that he was there discussing such things shows you that our Prime Minister is a Rejoiner at heart.”
Mr Farage also attacked Boris Johnson’s 2020 Brexit deal as not very good, pointing out there are probably more EU fishing vessels in British waters now than there were before Brexit.
However he argued Britain should aim to be friendly and cooperative with Brussels without signing away more sovereignty to the EU’s unelected bureaucrats.
