A senior Tory MP, Sir Bernard Jenkin, criticized Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer over his EU trade deal, claiming it undermines the Brexit vote. Jenkin warned the Prime Minister could face severe political repercussions for what he called a betrayal of the 17.5 million who voted to leave the EU. Starmer defended the deal by stating it adheres to key red lines and boasts of restoring the UK's global trade stance. The Liberal Democrats called for a stronger deal, highlighting ongoing divisions around the Brexit agreement.
"Can I just point out to the Prime Minister that nothing can undo the fact that 17.5 million people voted Leave, and they voted to take back control of our laws and to stop paying money to the EU."
"We were told it was impossible to negotiate a better deal with the EU with those red lines. We have just done it."
