It was bad enough that during his election bid, Starmer sold us a promise that he would not drag us back into the EU.
But since he was elected, he has literally busted a gut to do exactly that.
This joker calls it a Brexit reset when the reality is it’s him crawling on his belly to the EU’s unelected bosses begging for Britain to be let back into the bloc in whatever punishing form that might take.
But now, worse than that, the EU is demanding that Starmer signs what’s been called a “Farage clause“, which means if Farage is elected PM, he’ll have to pay the EU (well, the British people will) vast amounts in compensation if he tears up Labour’s Brexit reset.
How can Starmer think he can get away with this? It is not his place to say what any future Parliament must do.
And thank God Farage has already stuck up the proverbial two fingers up at him and said under no circumstances will he honour this clause or pay compensation - something the EU needs to hear loud and clear so they can’t scream about it later when Farage refuses to pay up.
“No Parliament may bind its successor,” raged Farage. “If Starmer signs this clause, it’s a democratic outrage.”
And he’s right. What Starmer has done re trying to crawl back into the arms of the EU is everything the British people voted against. Yet, if anyone dares to object to what he’s doing, his response is always that it’s in the national interest, when in fact it’s the polar opposite.
This reset will be a total disaster for the UK because it will take us back to the bad old days when the UK was forced to follow laws in which we have had no say and over which we have no control.

And anyone who has any doubts that leaving the EU was the right thing just has to look at the way Brussels is behaving right now – demanding Starmer sign this clause that will force our next PM into paying them compo if he/she tears up this bonkers agreement.
It reeks of arrogance, the kind of arrogance we had to endure every day when we were under the cosh of the EU.
This haughty, high-handed attitude to Britain shows nothing has changed. The EU has always wanted to be in sole control of all its members, which is precisely why the people of this country voted to leave the failing bloc
And it is failing. EU productivity has grown a piddling 0.7 per cent since 2015, and the economy is stagnant. Why the hell do we want to be part of that again?
Starmer says that hanging on to the EU’s coattails is all about making trade easier for us. Is it hell! The EU doesn’t give a stuff about trade for its own sake. It just cares about having ultimate power and control, and it wants to impose any rule it feels like without interference.
But it’s no surprise to most of us that Starmer has turned out to be a Brexit snake in the grass. From the minute he took office, he’s been hell bent on shoehorning us back into the EU, proving without doubt that he has no time for democracy or the will of the British people.
Remember what he said when he was begging to be elected: “There will be no going back to the EU in my lifetime. There is no case for a return.”
And that wasn’t all. He also said: “We are not going back into the EU, the single market, the Customs Union or having freedom of movement.”
It was all lies because legislation in the coming weeks will introduce what he calls “dynamic alignment”, meaning UK laws will automatically be updated in line with new EU regulations. That will initially apply to food, farming and the electricity market and will then extend to other areas.
And the Government has already confirmed that Britain will rejoin the Erasmus youth mobility scheme, which will allow thousands of young people to come here to work or study.
It was a scheme that, in the past, operated vastly in favour of the EU and against the UK because the numbers coming here hugely outnumbered those going the other way. So yes, we will soon have the freedom of movement again, something Starmer said was never going to happen.
So, make no mistake, what Starmer calls a Brexit reset is actually the unpicking of Brexit, and it means that in the future we will have to obey EU laws and allow freedom of movement, which is precisely what the British people voted against.
Brexit was about getting back control of our borders, our laws and our money, but before he’s finished at No 10, Starmer will have given away everything we fought so hard to win.
What the hell is the point in leaving the EU if this reset means we now have to follow EU laws?
This Prime Minister, more than any other in recent history, spits on democracy.
He doesn’t just despise the British people. It’s worse than that – he thinks we’re too stupid to know what’s best for us.
Even now, he doesn’t see that as a bloc, the EU is doomed, he’s just desperate to drag us back into it, making us servants – yet again – of what Brussels wants.
We just have to hope Farage means what he says, and chucks Starmer’s Brexit Reset into the undemocratic bin where it belongs.
