Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 May 2025. It occurred during Ministerial statement on UK-EU Summit.


UK-EU Summit

Can I just point out to the Prime Minister that nothing can undo the fact that 17.5 million people voted leave? They voted to take back control of our laws and stop paying money to the EU. That was a considerably larger number than the 9.7 million people who voted Labour at the last election, but now the Prime Minister is submitting to EU regulations without any control and starting to pay money back to the European Union—he is giving up control over our laws and restoring payments to the European Union. He will pay a bitter political price for this betrayal.
