Back In The EU (Almost)

Keir Starmer is hinting that Britain could adopt single market rules without MPs’ vote as part of UK-EU reset and i am more than happy with that although i hold my hands up on grounds of hypocrisy as i would be spitting feathers if it was the other way round.
If Donald Trump has been good for one thing (other than protecting pedophiles in the USA), then it is for pushing us back towards our European neighbours and Labour Ministers are planning to fundamentally reshape Britain’s relationship with the European Union, with new legislation that could result in the UK signing up to EU single market rules without a normal parliamentary vote.
It is undeniable that coming out was economic madness as the trade deals around the World we were promised failed to materialise leaving our GDP 4% worse off and Ministers are arguing that the move which is expected to be launched before the Summer recess, will add billions to the UK economy, help temper the cost of the conflict and boost sluggish productivity.
The move is possible under so-called Henry VIII powers, named after the 1539 law that allowed the monarch to rule by decree, which allow ministers to approve laws without full scrutiny from parliament using secondary legislation which enforces laws without needing new Parliamentary acts although it will need to be rubber stamped in Parliament and with a stonking majority of 174, that's just a formality .
Ministers are saying the move will promote trade without breaking the government’s promise to not rejoining the customs union, single market, or returning to freedom of movement which even I find a bit of a stretch but what the hey, the Right Wing numbnuts have been doing enough damage recently so up there's as the saying goes.
'The EU is our largest trading market, almost half of our total trade was with the EU in 2024' explained one Minister, 'We’re all paying a cost of living penalty for all the barriers at the border, so it is sensible to make deals to remove those barriers and undo the damage' which all makes sense but maybe it would be better to re-run the Referendum and get the agreement of the British public but if they have to be sneaky about it, i'm surprisingly okay with that also.
