COMMENT: Starmer remains a Remainer and will capitulate on Brexit
However, years of personal experience in dealing with the EU have taught me always to read the small print.
It's an old naval tactic to âmake smokeâ - to deliberately generate smoke from a shipâs funnel - in order to try and hide your position or intentions from others. This is a very good analogy for what Labour are now doing, trying to hide a major surrender to the EU, on everything from fish to becoming a passive ârule takerâ once again - whilst deliberately talking tough on Defence.
Arch Europhile Sir Keir Starmer - âMr Second Referendumâ himself - has been working closely with our European NATO allies, especially France and Germany, to strengthen European solidarity in defence of the brave Ukranians, in their battle with Putinâs barbaric Russian regime. (A regime which even mercilessly targets highly accurate cruise missiles on childrenâs hospitals).

This increased co-operation is now leading to a UK/EU Defence pact, which is being formalised at a major summit, taking place today. We are still awaiting the precise details of this deal.
However, years of personal experience in dealing with the EU have taught me always to read the small print.
However, in a typically cynical ploy, Starmer is also using this focus on defence as camouflage - that smokescreen I mentioned earlier - to try and divert the British publicâs attention from major capitulations elsewhere, in the hope that nobody will notice.
At this âSurrender Summitâ - for thatâs what it actually is - Labour seem set to make major concessions on continued access to British territorial waters by foreign fishing fleets - especially those of France and Spain.
In return for allowing the British Defence industry access to a supposed new EU âŹ150 billion rearmament fund - something I agree with in principle but Iâll actually believe it when I see it - President Macron is apparently demanding major concessions on fish.
This, even though we left the EU and itâs bonkers Common Fisheries Policy (by which millions of fish were thrown back into the sea, often dead, every year, in order to comply with EU fishing quotas). This is a total betrayal of our fishing fleet and therefore something Labour will want to avoid discussing, at all costs.
Similarly, they are also due to surrender over âdynamic alignmentâ - in certain areas such as veterinary science and food standards, which ultimately affects all of us as consumers but especially our farmers.
Dynamic Alignment has its clue in the name. In laymanâs English it means that if the EUâs detailed rules change in those areas we mirror their changes automatically, regardless of Parliamentâs opinion.
In other words we become, once again, a passive ârule takerâ - automatically actioning the EUâs rule book - even though we voted peacefully and democratically to Leave it.
This is the truly atrocious part of what Labour are up to; surrendering our rights to self-government, under a smokescreen of trying to talk tough on defence, among both the media and the public.
In short, if we are to return to being an EU rule-taker, what was the point of having a referendum in the first place? How could Labour betray us like this ? Because Starmer remains a Remainer, thatâs why - and he always, always will.
