US EditionKeir Starmer Has a Historic Opportunity to Fix This Awful Brexit – if He Follows This Plan
The bill aims to reduce paperwork and boost growth by aligning UK standards on food, animal welfare, and carbon markets with the EU, amid debate over sovereignty.
- This year Sir Keir Starmer is preparing a bill to give UK ministers powers for 'dynamic alignment' with EU law, aiming to reduce paperwork and boost growth.
- When he became prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer promised to reset Britain’s ties with Brussels and faces pressure from Liberal Democrats and 13 Labour backbenchers after a Commons vote last month.
- The bill would cover areas such as food standards, animal welfare and pesticide use and could implement deals on electricity and carbon markets, with dynamic alignment accepting some EU rule changes without UK votes.
- Both Conservative and Reform UK MPs are expected to oppose the plans, accusing ministers of 'surrendering our freedom', while critics warn the UK could surrender control over its own laws as Sir Keir insisted freedom of movement is off the table.
- With a Commons vote last month, the debate is live and immediate, shaped by party opposition as the UK Parliament considers dynamic alignment, which would require accepting some EU laws without a parliamentary vote.
