Furious row erupts as Labour’s EU reset threatens British sausages

Keir Starmer’s reset is now set to hit British pork manufacturers as UK producers will begin following Brussels rules.

Brexit reset negotiations by the Government will have an impact on Britain’s beloved sausages, Reform UK’s deputy leader has said.

Sir Keir is entering the final stages of his reset with Brussels, amid furious claims he is selling out Brexit.

And Reform say it will impact Britain’s bangers with ham and bacon producers preparing for new trading terms that could force food manufacturers to follow EU rules.

The EU is bringing in new rules from October to limit the amount of nitrates produced in processed meats, including bacon, ham and sausages.

The UK presently has no plans to follow the bloc’s lead, although this could change if Sir Keir hands control of Britain’s food and agriculture back to Brussels.

The issue of food standards is now being discussed “at the highest levels of British government and the EU”, and will be a focal point of the PM’s summit on Monday.

The news has sparked comparisons with a popular plot from hit BBC sitcom Yes, Minister, in which the titular Jim Hacker wins over mass public support with his campaign to resist EEC rules banning Britain’s breakfast.

Referencing the hit show, Reform’s deputy leader Richard Tice said: “Sir Keir Starmer’s Brexit betrayal is on and it begins with an attack on the Great British Banger.”

“The British people will not stomach a EuroSausage, nor a slow march back into the EU.”

Sir Keir is believed to be focussing on food safety, as well as aligning animal and plant regulations in order to reduce trade friction and boost economic growth.
