BREXIT Britain should remain under the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice to help the UK remain a member of key European agencies, Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer suggested.
“The Prime Minister simply said ‘I’ll have nothing whatsoever to do with the ECJ in any circumstance’ rather than saying ‘look, the role may have to change. Let’s be grown up and sensible about what it might be.’
“If there are places where the role of the court will make it better or easier for us to have the right relationship in the future, I’d be up to that.”

Sir Keir suggested remaining under the ECJ after Brexit would help the UK
“There’s a basic contradiction in the Prime Minister’s approach: she says on the one hand ‘I want a deep, close, special relationship with the EU’ – and that’s a good thing – but the deeper and closer the relationship, the more likely it is you need shared institutions.”
The UK is currently part of several EU agencies, including the London-based European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Banking Agency (EBA).
But he argued the ECJ would need to maintain jurisdiction in order to do so.
He added: “I think it’s becoming pretty obvious to everybody that the full, or final, agreement with the EU is simply not going to be reached by March 2019. Therefore we need a bridge or transitional arrangement.
“That would be on the same terms as now, meaning the European Court of Justice would continue to have to function.”

This man has knelt before the Queen when he was made a Knight and he is now a traitor and if he has an ounce of integrity left the very least he should do is hand back his Knighthood. A traitor and a hypocrite, not so long ago these people lost their heads after a spell in the dungeons of the Tower of London.
Pure Treason.
At the very least, this traitor should be stripped of his Knighthood. He is certainly not a Knight of THIS Realm.
