Piers Morgan<\/a> has come under fire after he slammed the delivery of Brexit<\/a> as being a “dismal act of self-harming failure”. The TV personality\u2019s comments follow the Brexit Summit<\/a> on Monday in London, where Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer<\/a> struck a new deal with Brussels.<\/p>\n

But agreements have since been heavily criticised for “Brexit betrayal”<\/a>, with many claiming Sir Keir has taken the UK closer to being back under EU control. Writing on X, Mr Morgan said: “People seem angrier at a 0.0001% reversal of Brexit<\/a> than they are about Brexit<\/a> having been a dismal act of self-harming failure. We were sold a dud, but nobody wants to admit it.” However, social media users on the platform have furiously responded in defense of Brexit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It doesn\u2019t matter whether you think it\u2019s worked out or not. It\u2019s an un-democratic act. We held a referendum,” one person wrote.<\/p>\n

Another said: “Well, I think people are quite protective about the idea of democracy, Piers.<\/p>\n

“If winning an election doesn’t count, then we have been lied to and the system of representative government is not legitimate.”<\/p>\n

A third echoed this, saying: “Brexit<\/a> wasn\u2019t a dud. It was 17 million people voting to take back control of our borders, our laws, and our sovereignty,” while another wrote: “It\u2019s against the democratic will of the British people and a betrayal of 17.4 million people who voted for Brexit<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

However, a few people came to Mr Morgan\u2019s defence, and wrote: \u201cThank you. Some people I believe hold onto it as they have invested some sense of identity with it, and are unable to want to question or criticise it. However, only 30% now think it was a good idea, so some are moving away from its support.”<\/p>\n

A second social media user supported the TV personality’s claims of Brexit<\/a> being a “failure”, and said: “They should actually read about the impact Brexit<\/a> has had on the economy, one of many factors! In the time of conflict the world is in, we should be rallying with our neighbours.”<\/p>\n

The new UK-EU agreements include European fishing vessels having access to British waters for another 12 years. A “Common Sanitary and Phytosanitary Area” has also been created, which means shared rules on the movement of plants, plant products and animal products.<\/p>\n

Plans for a youth-mobility scheme are still in the mix, granting those 30 and under, the right to live and work in each other\u2019s countries for a limited period. Additionally, the UK will rejoin the EU\u2019s Erasmus scheme, a student exchange programme.<\/p>\n

UK travellers going into Europe will be allowed to use e-gates at borders, avoiding long queues to show their passports to an official.<\/p>\n

And finally, a new defence and security pact was agreed, which means the EU and UK will work more closely together on information sharing and maritime and space security. UK firms will also be allowed to bid for EU defence contracts, after the EU set up a \u00a3125billion defence fund.
