Starmer aligns UK with EU
In a significant pivot toward Brussels, the Starmer government has proposed a bill that would grant ministers 'Henry VIII powers' to adopt EU regulations through secondary legislation.
Starmer argues that closer alignment with the single market is in the national interest and necessary to mitigate the economic damage from the ongoing Middle East crisis.
Critics have labeled the plan 'Brexit betrayal by stealth,' warning that it bypasses democratic scrutiny.
The Prime Minister has insisted that any major changes would still require parliamentary approval, though the mechanism for such oversight remains a point of contention.
