Sir Keir's EU 'horror show'
Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy listen to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (right) and European Council President Antonio Costa (left), London, May 19, 2025

PRIME MINISTER Sir Keir Starmer’s new deal to trade sausages and arms with a bloc “dominated by big business interests, right-wing alliances and a constitution that explicitly privileges the rights of business” was slammed as a “horror show” today.

The Labour leader sealed the UK-EU trade deal with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa at a summit in Lancaster House, London, proudly trumpeting benefits of its agreement on “dynamic alignment” with rules set by Brussels.

According to Sir Keir, those benefits would include pet passports for dogs and cats in the UK, allowing tourists to use E-gates at European airports in Europe, British burgers and sausages being sold in the EU again, and allowing young EU citizens to live, work and study in the UK and vice versa.
