The EU is demanding Britain pay an exorbitant sum to join its energy grid and hand over any control of the output as part of Keir Starmer’s ‘Brexit reset’, a bombshell new report has claimed.<\/p>\n

The reports, produced by Facts4EU in collaboration with Stand for our Sovereignty and CIBUK.Org, would amount to a Chagos-style surrender, former Conservative MP Lord Redwood told the People’s Channel. <\/p>\n

He told to GB News: \u201cKeir Starmer wants to pay the EU for inflicting this damage on us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen he wants on top to free gift them a large unspecified sum to help them tackle their economic and policy failures in countries of their Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the man who wants to give away the valuable base of Diego Garcia to Mauritius and fell for the need to pay them a huge sum to take the gift!\u201d<\/p>\n

The most shocking part of the new report is that the EU is demanding that the UK share in the cost of its \u201cEconomic, Social and Territorial Cohesion funding,\u201d something required as a member.<\/p>\n

The UK contributed billions to one part of the funding called \u201cthe Cohesion Fund\u201d while a member, but never received any benefit from it, with the UK not receiving single euro.<\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s paperwork does not contain actual numbers, but it seems the total demanded from the UK will be high.<\/p>\n

\"Sir<\/p>\n

Sir Keir Starmer has been slammed by Lord Redwood<\/p>\n

As a member, the UK contributed around 13.5 per cent of the total budget for these funds. Even if the EU sets the UK\u2019s percentage to be one-quarter of its previous level, it would still involve payments in the order of billions.<\/p>\n

Lord Redwood continued: \u201cThe PM is the world’s worst negotiator. He wants to sign us up to even dearer energy and higher energy taxes than we already have.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to throw away any UK right to amend or improve the system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sentences us to perpetually dearer energy which will complete the disastrous de-industrialisation of the UK, which his home policies have furthered.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Sir<\/p>\n

Lord Redwood has compared the proposed plans as a Chagos-style handover of Britain’s electricity <\/p>\n

The report stated that, according to the EU, since Sir Keir Starmer\u2019s UK-EU Re-Set Summit on May 19, 2025, the Commission and the UK Government have explored in detail \u201cthe necessary conditions\u201d for the UK’s possible participation in the Union’s internal electricity market.<\/p>\n

One of the EU documents stated: \u201cThe EU aims to establish a permanent, legally binding mechanism for the financial contribution of the United Kingdom towards reducing economic and social disparities between the regions of the Union, at an appropriate level.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe financial contribution of the United Kingdom should be calculated based on the Union financial contribution towards reducing the disparities between the regions of the Union, adjusted to reflect the relative size of the UK economy and the proportion of the internal market to which the United Kingdom participates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the new agreement, the EU has made clear the UK will have no say in matters relating to the EU, but we will be forced to align with any changes imposed. <\/p>\n

A document for December reads: \u201cThe agreement should not give the United Kingdom the right to participate in the Union’s decision-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agreement should provide for an obligation for the United Kingdom to dynamically align to the relevant Union legislation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mechanism of dynamic alignment should ensure that identical rules within the scope of the agreement are simultaneously applied.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agreement should ensure uniform interpretation and application of Union law on the basis of the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union; in particular, the interpretation given to the applicable rules within the Union should also apply in the context of the relations between the Parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lord Redwood concluded that: \u201cStarmer wants to please the EU whilst damaging the UK. The EU, despising his weakness, intend to truss him up over controlling our energy market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey still feel able to demand a huge free gift of cash to help out their slow growth and no-growth failing policies as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is Starmer will fall for this and send another whopping tax bill to the better off and businesses who have stayed in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
