KEVIN MAGUIRE: Plastic patriots inflicted huge self harm as PM tackles Boris's bad Brexit

Revolting Brextremists risk self-combusting or arthritis from kneejerk fury over Keir Starmer’s relatively modest if still worthwhile improvements in UK-EU relations.

Foaming and frothing plastic patriots inflicted unprecedented national self-harm so I trust the shrieking gang will insist on standing in the longest passport queues then wait until everybody sensible goes through before using quicker e-gates.

Because Starmer’s pragmatically ending a few of many nightmares created by lying Con man Boris Johnson’s bad Brexit. End of.

More’s the pity the Prime Minister isn’t preparing to take Britain back into the Single Market, Custom’s Union and European Union itself when our country’s best deal was membership.

Yet Starmer’s achievements are pushing at an open door while Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage are stuck in the past, rival Right-whingers fighting old battles in a new age. Their allergic reaction to anything and everything to do with Europe doesn’t represent the public mood and the pair are walking into a Labour trap.

Only a measly 11% of voters think quitting the EU has been a success while just 30% believe Britain was right to leave.
Contrast that piddling support for a failing Brexit with the 55% who are now Rejoiners and 64% favouring closer relations with our European neighbours.

US loose cannon Donald Trump blasting away at European countries, including the UK, underlines why Britain’s prosperity and security depend on an EU which accounts for half our international trade.

If fishing was sold down the river then Johnson not Starmer was guilty, Starmer’s deal essentially rolling over Johnson’s trawler agreement for a dozen more years while cutting holes in red tape.

The Salmon Scotland trade body welcomed the deal, Johnson’s Brexit bureaucracy costing exporters sending 500 lorries a week to Europe around £3million a year.

Starmer has a serious job ahead selling the package but Tory and Reform UK hysteria is as dishonest as it is comical.
