US Political Activist Charlie Kirk has taken aim at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's newly signed deal with the EU, accusing the Labour leader of "undermining the democratic will of the people".

In a UK-EU summit in Monday, Starmer teamed up with EU leaders to announce a "new era" for Britain, claiming the deal will be "good for jobs, bills and borders".


However, critics across the political spectrum have been quick to brand the deal a "Brexit betrayal", going against the key referendum held in 2016.

Speaking exclusively to GB News, Kirk told host Ben Leo that Starmer's latest move is an "ultimate denial of democracy".

Delivering his verdict on Starmer, Kirk said: "President Trump was very positive about the trade deal, and he said that it was good dealing with Keir Starmer.

"I don't want to put words in their mouth or sentiments, but I can give you my opinion of Keir Starmer - not a fan."

Criticising the EU deal, Kirk scolded: "First of all, what he's doing with this Brexit thing, based on my limited understanding and as an outsider, is the ultimate denial of democracy.

"You guys had an up or down vote of the highest turnout election in modern British history ever, and they lost, people said no.

"You had 80 plus per cent turnout, people did not want to be part of the European Union. And now Keir Starmer is undermining the democratic will of the people."

In a further pointed attack on the Prime Minister, Kirk claimed that at times, Starmer could be "put in the Marxist camp" with his views and policies for Britain.

Kirk stated: "These are the people that are always saying 'we're very big about liberal democracy'. No you're not, you're about an oligarchy. Your oligarchy is an expert class, permanently entrenched.

"I'm not a fan of Keir Starmer, obviously his political ideology, he's a far-left winger. I would even almost put him in the Marxist camp at times. What he's doing in immigration is a total fraud, no one should believe it."

Expanding on Britain's migrant crisis, Kirk highlighted how the Conservatives as well as the Labour Government are "bipartisan" in their handling of the issue.

Kirk explained: "The Conservative Party allowed the mass migration crisis of Britain, and Keir Starmer just happens to now be Prime Minister trying to make justifications for it. But this has been bipartisan of both Conservatives and Labour that have now overseen this crisis."

Suggesting that a new "political force" should break through the "uni-party" of the Tories and Labour, Kirk concluded: "I think there is an opportunity for an ascendant political force. I don't know if it's Reform because the social media era, because people are consuming information in a decentralised way.

"Cause they're not just getting their information from BBC and from the gatekeepers of the information of Britain. And I think it's a huge existential threat to the power brokers here in this city and country."
