Priti Patel, shadow foreign secretary, criticized the governmentâs deal with the EU, calling it a betrayal of Brexit and challenging Labour leader Keir Starmer's credibility. Patel accused Starmer of dishonesty regarding his campaign for Brexit and claimed he misled the public about returning to being a 'rule taker.' In response to Starmer's comments about enhancing Britain's global stature, Patel asserted that the UK has already played a leading role internationally, particularly regarding the situation in Ukraine. Industry minister Sarah Jones countered concerns by stating that costs from the deal would be joint expenses, not a rejoining of the EU.
