This move shouldn’t just worry Leave voters, but absolutely everyone who cares about our democracy.

Sir Keir Starmer is at it again. Not content to merely thwart the democratic will of the people over attempted delays to local council elections, his government is now seeking to rejoin the EU through the backdoor. As if ‘dynamic alignment’ on everything from food standards to carbon emissions wasn’t bad enough, Labour wants to guarantee we keep playing by EU rules through something called ‘secondary legislation’. This means ongoing legislation to tie us to EU laws gets authorised by ministers rather than by new updated legislation in the Commons.
In essence, the original law to tie Britain to the EU’s apron strings would allow ministers to continually update our laws to match EU laws without going to Parliament first. This is the same EU, by the way, one of whose members – Spain – is about to ‘regularise’ at least half a million illegal immigrants, creating a pathway for these (mostly) blokes to enter whichever EU state they see fit. And what’s the betting Sir Keir signs us up to free movement with the bloc by the end of this Parliament?
As with the local council elections, which only went ahead thanks to legal challenges from Reform, it seems Nigel Farage‘s party is the only one willing to reverse this anti-democratic nightmare. Let’s face it, we can’t trust the Tories to do much.
They, after all, were the party which botched Brexit to begin with. The Conservatives were also the party which gave us the ‘Boriswave’ of mass immigration (only 17% of which were on work visas), the over £600bn cost of which will leave British households £20k worse off, according to date from Reform, as millions of immigrants become eligible for permanent residency in the years ahead.
As Farage said of Sir Keir’s latest scheme meanwhile: “Accepting their rules without a vote is a direct betrayal of the Brexit referendum.”
The UK would be reduced to the role of passive spectator, with Brussels bully boys no doubt hoping to tear Mainland Britain from Northern Ireland into the bargain.
This is an affront to the democratic will of the people, especially when Britain has a dynamic, youthful and global Commonwealth to re-engage with, starting with those countries with which we share a king, such as Australia, Canada, Jamaica and New Zealand. Why the hell would we want to throw our lot in with this geriatric club in Brussels?
Reform is committed to reversing all this. But, as with preventing the mass settlement of Boriswave migrants, will it be too late by the time Farage gets a chance of power? 2029 – the latest date Labour must call an election – is a long way off.
In the meantime, Starmer – egged on by the likes of the London Mayor and wary of the Leftist threat from the Remainiac Greens – looks set to tie the UK into an EU straitjacket from which there could be no escape.
