Sir Keir Starmer has reportedly agreed to his EU "reset" deal ahead of today's crunch summit with Ursula von der Leyen.
British and European negotiators managed to get past a fishing sticking point by agreeing to a “fish for food” arrangement.
It is believed that signed away fishing rights to EU trawlermen until 2038 in return for a veterinary agreement to boost trade.
Britain is also expected to align with EU plant and animal health laws and be subject to European Court of Justice decisions over them.
However, concessions on fishing have sparked the most fury from Brexiteers.
Ex-Brexit negotiator Lord Frost said: “Giving away control of our own fishing grounds in this way is a shocking abandonment of British fishermen by Sellout Starmer.
“It’s been one concession after another. When the dust settles we will find there is very little for Britain in this deal and a lot that takes us back towards EU control.”
Top Tory Andrew Bowie added: "If it is true that Labour has surrendered British waters to the EU until 2038, that is worse than a surrender, it is a total capitulation."

‘Full-on surrender!’ Richard Tice sets out ‘three critical issues’ with Keir Starmer's Brexit reset
Reform MP Richard Tice says he is expecting a “full on surrender” to the EU at today’s post-Brexit summit.
Keir Starmer is aiming to secure a new deal between the UK and the EU, but Tice fears he will cave on “three big, critical issues”.
He explained: “It looks like they are going to surrender on reintroducing freedom of movement. They rebadged it as youth mobility which sounds nice and cuddly but in reality, if it’s 18-30 or 35 year-olds, that was the bulk of the freedom of movement that the British people voted against in 2016 and then just a few weeks ago expressed a clear view against mass immigration by voting in huge numbers for Reform UK.
“Last week, the Prime Minister said he was going to reduce immigration, not if you surrender to more freedom of movement.
“The second big surrender is becoming a rule-taker under dynamic alignment, we will have to accept all EU regulations. We don’t want that. We want to reduce the regulations. We want to be able to reduce the cost of business and living, that would be complete foolishness.
“The third surrender is on the very important issue to my constituents in Boston & Skegness of fishing, we want to get back control of our fishing waters."

The agreement would reportedly grant the EU a long-term deal on fish accessGettyThe European Union has ambushed Sir Keir Starmer's Brexit "reset" talks with a last-gasp demand for the UK to "sacrifice" its fishing waters.
Brussels bureaucrats, led by France, had called for a roll-over of the current five-year deal to ensure European trawlermen maintained access to Britain's coastal waters.
