The UK is set to pay exorbitant amounts to the EU, hand over control of vital industries, and receive some nasty surprises in return. Here, Bruno Waterfield – Brussels correspondent at The Times – explains why Starmer’s sellout to Brussels could lead to higher food and energy prices, and to the stifling of innovation and industry. He warns that Britain will pay a heavy price for so casually surrendering its sovereignty.  EVENT: spiked is partnering with the Free Speech Union for ‘In Defence of Trial by Jury’, a live discussion on Thursday 29 January in London. spiked supporters and Free Speech Union members can get discounted tickets: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/freespeechunion/2002087  Read spiked: https://www.spiked-online.com/     Support spiked: https://www.spiked-online.com/support/  Learn more about your ad choices.
