PRIME MINISTER Sir Keir Starmer endorsed a new treaty with Germany today as a first step in binding Britain closer to the European Union once more.
The pact, agreed in principle during a visit to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, will cover trade, business, science, technology and development and be formally signed early next year.
Sir Keir claimed it represented a “once-in-a-generation chance to deliver for working people in Britain and in Germany.”
As Starmer flies to Albania seeking deportation camps while praising Giorgia Meloni, KEVIN OVENDEN warns that without massive campaigns rejecting this new overt government xenophobia, Britain faces a soaring hard right and emboldened fascist thugs on the streets
Just as German Social Democrats joined the Nazis in singing Deutschland Uber Alles, ANDREW MURRAY observes how Starmer tries to out-Farage Farage with anti-migrant policies — but evidence shows Reform voters come from Tories, not Labour, making this ploy morally bankrupt and politically pointless
