Conservative mock Keir Starmer’s “false” claim his Brexit “reset” deal will allow British people to use electronic license plates at EU airports… like many have already done
Sir Keir Starmer was ridiculed for his “false” claim that the British would be allowed to use electronic gates at EU airports due to his Brexit “reset” agreement with the EU.
The Prime Minister boasted about his agreement with Brussels, signed yesterday, to end the “large queue” of vacationers controlled by European passports.
However, the confusing Conservative Party pointed out that Sir Keel pointed out that many EU airports have allowed British people to use electronic gates.
They also responded to warnings that new border measures to be proposed by the EU later this year could actually make the British’s airport queue worse.
They stressed that despite the Prime Minister’s agreement with the European Commission, decisions that would still be made to the use of electronic policies on the British will still be used in individual EU countries.
Dame Priti Patel, a senior Conservative MP for Shadow Foreign Minister, blew up Sir Kyle’s claims as “just boring.”
Conservative companion Lord David Frost, a former Brexit negotiator, said the Prime Minister’s agreement on electronic policy “really nothing.”
Sir Keir praised his electronic policy agreement with the European Commission as one of his biggest victories in Britain’s “post-revival relationship” with Brussels.

The Prime Minister’s extensive deal also includes an end to inspections of UK food exports to the continent, links between the UK and EU electricity markets, and new security agreements.
But Sir Keir, who had been the surplus who had previously wanted a second EU referendum, succumbed to France’s demands to expand the chances of British fishing waters of the EU fleet.
Many airports in Spain and Portugal have already allowed the British to use electronic gates like those in Rome and Brussels.
The Prime Minister also acknowledged that despite his dealings with Brussels, he would still rely on EU countries to decide whether to use electronic policies for British travelers.
Meanwhile, experts warn that there will be little difference in the greater use of electronic doors by the British unless further work is accompanied by mitigation of the impact of new EU border measures.
The EU’s new entry/exit system (EES) will come into effect late in October and will be an automated IT system for registering travelers from non-EU countries, including the UK, each time they enter or cross the EU’s borders.
It will replace the current passport manual stamping for visitors to Europe’s borderless Schengen areas, which are not nationals of the EU or Schengen countries.
Once the new system starts running, the British may take their fingerprints and facial images when they first cross the border into the EU.
There are concerns that this will cause large queues at EU airports, as well as delays at Dover, Folkstone and London’s St. Pancras stations, which were conducted before people began traveling across channels.
Priti Dame Priti told GB News of PM’s electronic policy agreement: “Anyway, the EU has a digital system…it’s basically the same as the digital boundary system we have established in the UK because the world has been digitized.
“However, the government and Starmer claim it was a huge win, and by the way, when it comes out in October, it will lead to a cohort because we have to provide biometrics and a lot of personal data. So it’s totally wrong. It’s misleading.
Sir David Davis, a former Brexit secretary, told the same channel: “Electronic government is a national decision. What the EU says is that there are no legal barriers.
In other words, they won’t intervene to make the situation worse. I’ve been through video games when I’ve been to Europe in the past few years. This is a false thing.
Shadow Business Minister Andrew Griffith said: “So the government talks a lot about video games. This is another punishment imposed in the UK after Brexit.
“This has nothing to do with Brexit itself, but is the result of the beliefs of the Commission and some member states. However, there are many countries that can use electronic gates.
“Indeed, some countries have allowed British people to enter the electronic gate. So the Prime Minister wrongly claimed that this was the benefit of the deal.”
Industry Minister Sarah Jones refused to assure this morning that the British would experience a shorter passport cohort throughout the EU this summer.
She told LBC: “We have cleared any obstacles to doing this. There is no legal reason for the company to disagree.
“I can’t guarantee you on the exact timing because there is infrastructure and of course all our airports have to be built.”
