Conservative response to EU demands for British taxpayers’ money

“Today we are seeing the first fruits of Keir Starmer's weak post-Brexit reset. What Starmer claimed would be in Britain's interests has turned out to be an outrageous hit job on British taxpayers, with demands from the EU for billions of pounds from our country.

“Starmer doesn't have the backbone to stand up to Brussels, with their attempt to extort cash from us as a punishment for having the foresight to leave the EU.

“Starmer is so desperate to ingratiate himself in the EU Club and undo Brexit by the back door that he concedes to every request. When Labour negotiates, Britain loses. Only the Conservatives will protect British interests at home and abroad.”
