Jacob Rees-Mogg warns of Labor plan to return Britain to EU ‘through the back door’ | Politics | News

Jacob Rees-Mogg has warned that Sir Keir Starmer is trying to return the UK to the EU “through the back door”.

The Prime Minister told the Interpol general assembly in Glasgow yesterday that he wanted to restore the old order.Brexit Intelligence sharing arrangements with the EU to help combat people traffickers.

But former Tory MP Sir Jacob warns Labor wants to roll back Brexit “gradually”.

Speaking on the UK News programme, he said: “During the referendum campaign it was occasionally said by Brexiteers, though not enough, that the EU was turning into the United States of Europe.

“When Nigel Farage This claim, which expressed the concerns of the European army, was rejected as a ‘dangerous fantasy’ by then Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.

“Of course, this was a policy officially approved by French President Emmanuel Macron and former German chancellor Angela Merkel.

“What the rest never wanted to admit publicly, probably because they didn’t like the idea very much, was that the European project aimed to transform Europe from a coalition of nations into a single state.

“Okay sir Keir StarmerTrump, who is also famous for wanting a second referendum, seems keen to drag us back to one of the EU’s core federalist policies: Europe’s justice and home affairs wing, under the guise of crushing the gangs.

“At the Interpol meeting in Glasgow yesterday he claimed: Brexit It meant the UK no longer had access to the European Arrest Warrant database and wanted it restored.

“But make no mistake, it is like a restoration of the old way.Brexit The deal will come at a cost, in which case we will almost certainly return to the European Arrest Warrant.

“But this system, as will be decided by the Court of Justice of the EU, not only gives jurisdiction to European judges in the UK, but will also treat the UK as a state within its own Federation, rather than the position we have restored; that of a sovereign nation.

“The Prime Minister will meet European leaders in Hungary on Thursday and the new EU security deal is expected to be at the top of his agenda.

“But this is only the first step in dragging us back into the EU through the back door. Keir Starmer Always wanted to be in the EU.

“He didn’t want to leave, he wanted a second referendum and now they are slowly trying to bring us in.

“Like a frog in water, the water is slowly getting warmer. But we are on our guard, we won’t be like a frog and boil gently.”

It comes as the Prime Minister is ready to press for a new security agreement with Brussels when he meets other leaders at the European Political Community summit in Hungary on Thursday.
