SIR Keir Starmer’s Brexit ‘surrender summit’ deal has been agreed this morning with the PM understood to have already made a huge concession.

The UK has been locked in late-night negotiations with Europe to nail down the terms of a UK-EU reset.

Critics have dubbed negotiations a “surrender summit” – dragging Britain back into the shackles of Europe which Brexit freed us from.

And this morning, it was revealed Starmer has given European fishermen access to British waters for 12 years – more than double the current five-year arrangement.

Bending the knee to Brussels, the arrangement is also expected to once more and concede to the bloc on food standards.

In return, Brussels agreed to a permanent Swiss-style veterinary deal to cut border checks and boost trade – with Britain signing up to follow EU rules on plant and animal health.

This means UK food exporters will face fewer delays at borders, but at the cost of aligning with EU standards and accepting European Court of Justice oversight on those specific rules.

The “fish for food” agreement was signed off by all 27 EU member states in Brussels ahead of a UK-EU summit in London today, where Sir Keir will unveil the pact alongside European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen.

By tying Britain back up in EU red tape, the UK would be placed under the jurisdiction of European courts — a major reversal of the Brexit promise.

The UK has also struck a defence pact with the EU, and both sides have agreed to continue talks on a youth mobility scheme – which the Tories and Reform UK have blasted as “freedom of movement by the backdoor”.
