Keir Starmer blames Labour’s woes on Brexit – however he is simply as ineffective because the EU! | Politics | News | EUROtoday

On the morning of June 24, 2016, Great Britain awoke to find it could be leaving the European Union.

In an historic electoral turnout, some 17m voters decreed they not wished to be managed by unelected Brussels bureaucrats.

Having campaigned lengthy and exhausting for years for a UK withdrawal, I allowed myself a quiet second of satisfaction. At 4.10am I proudly introduced to a gathering inside a nightclub: “I now dare to dream that dawn is breaking over an independent United Kingdom.”

Since that momentous day I firmly consider Britain’s standing on this planet has modified for the higher. When it involves overseas coverage we now stand taller as a nation by performing independently of the EU.

The post-Brexit offers now we have struck with financial powerhouses such because the USA and India plus the management now we have proven over Ukraine are clear examples of an impartial United Kingdom boldly reasserting itself on the world stage.

Unfortunately, in the case of most of the different features of our withdrawal, our legislators have proved each bit as ineffective managing it as all these overpaid Brussels commissioners from whom we escaped.

Economically, we had an opportunity for Britain to forge a brand new path on this planet, unshackled from the EU and all its rule-making and permit our companies to thrive. But the tough fact is, nonetheless, that in lots of areas now we have extra rules now than after we left.

For thousands and thousands, Brexit was about taking again management of our borders. Yet what occurred? Net migration reached file ranges. Under Boris Johnson and his Conservative successors, an unprecedented 3.8m individuals arrived right here inside three years.

Meanwhile, tens of hundreds proceed to show up illegally on small boats whereas successive governments have allowed human rights attorneys and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to run rings round their makes an attempt to deport them.

Betrayal has adopted betrayal. Our fishermen have been advised we’d recapture our waters. Result? EU boats proceed to plunder our fish. Farmers have been promised much less environmental regulation but are nonetheless virtually choking on crimson tape.

The many advantages of our hard-fought Brexit freedoms are nonetheless there to be seized but bafflingly Labour exhibits each signal of wanting to pull us again beneath the heel of Brussels. Are they fully mad?

For starters, the EU, nonetheless smarting over our departure, would insist on us accepting far stricter, much less beneficial phrases than from our earlier membership.

As for these post-Brexit commerce offers (one of many few issues ministers have achieved these previous few years) these must be torn up instantly.

And whereas development right here is likely to be sluggish, it is not as if EU economies have a lot to crow about. France and Italy are performing no higher than us. Germany is virtually a basket case.

The fact is that this Labour authorities is hellbent on blaming all of the nation’s present travails on Brexit merely to masks their very own incompetence.

But it is not Brexit’s fault now we have chosen to sacrifice our power safety and pursue a mad sprint to Net Zero whereas hammering households with sky-high payments.

It’s not Brexit’s fault we proceed to pump billions into our creaking well being service with no seen indicators of enchancment.

Nor was it Brexit which embarked upon a succession of reckless tax will increase which have pressured entrepreneurs and wealth creators to pursue their goals elsewhere.

Reform UK, you will be completely happy to listen to, will do issues very in a different way.

We will harness our Brexit alternatives to create essentially the most pro-business, pro-entrepreneurship authorities this nation has seen in fashionable instances which can sign a change of perspective in the direction of work, making a living and success.

We will decrease the tax burden on small companies which have been uncared for for too lengthy by governments extra keen on taking care of giant companies.

We will scrap the meddling ECHR and begin deporting all those that arrive right here illegally, halting the small boat crossings inside days. We’ll put off all these idiotic, EU-derived directives on web zero that are costing each households and companies a fortune.

There’s an exquisite post-Brexit future on the market, free from all these petty guidelines and directives which have been holding Britain again all these years. We simply want to understand it.
