Look Mum, no principles! Anyone who watched Eurovision was given a free preview of what lies in store for the UK if we’re dragged back into the EU – ‘Nul points’ and a cold shoulder: RICHARD LITTLEJOHN

Anyone who watched the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night was treated to a nightmarish vision of what awaits us if Labor succeeds in pulling us back into the EU.

Nul points and cold shoulder.

As voting continued, the UK participant, who called herself Look Mum No Computer for some reason, was seen sitting alone and isolated backstage after her excruciating performance.

Look, mom – real name Sam Bartle – it would be better if he stayed home.

He finished last and was snubbed by the rest of the 35 participating nations until the Danes took pity on him.

I remembered the European Council meeting in Brussels in 2016, the first meeting after the Leave vote; Our 27 EU ‘partners’ (we were still members at the time) had decided to humiliate Theresa May by excluding her from the post-summit dinner.

While they enjoyed a lavish lobster dinner, Mother Theresa was sent to bed with a stale baguette and a pack of lobsters. potato mayonnaise.

This was his reward for trying to appease the Europeans and diluting Brexit so weakly that it was essentially rejected.

Andy Burnham – aka Look Mother No Principles. He believes that if we apply to rejoin, we will be welcomed with open arms and all our dreams will come true.

Similarly, Look Mum sang half of her song in German in an attempt to impress the judges (the clue is in the title Eins, Zwei, Drei) but they threw it in her face anyway. This was the third time the UK has hit rock bottom since 2020, coincidentally the year we finally left the EU.

But the low-rent Labor Party leadership candidates who believe that if we apply to rejoin we will be welcomed with open arms and all our dreams will come true are as deluded as those who chose Eins, Zwei, Drei as our Eurovision entry.

Even when we became members, it wasn’t a match made in Heaven. Laws were passed primarily to suit the Germany/France axis, and because we wisely stayed out of the euro (thanks Gordon Brown) and did not participate in the Schengen open border rackets, we were always treated as argumentative, quasi-independent foreigners.

They wanted our money, our fish, our military might (such as it was), and our access to our lucrative market for their goods. However, we could not obtain mutual economic benefits in return. They always sold us more than we sold them.

In 2019, the year before we left, our trade deficit with the EU was £72bn. Meanwhile, our freedom to trade freely with the rest of the world has been restricted by Brussels, not by democratically elected MPs at Westminster.

But contrary to Remainers’ dismissive claims, the Leave vote was not primarily about money; It was about national sovereignty, that is, the right to make our own laws and, in particular, to control our borders.

The reason so many people are disappointed and why Rejoiners claim Brexit has failed is because the political class has spent the last decade trying to derail or reverse Brexit.

Boris gave it a brief shot before Covid sent the world into a tailspin, and one of the great successes was our freedom to develop our own world-leading vaccine; This was something Brussels tried to sabotage, remember.

But then, despite promising to control the borders, he blew it by filling the country with three million immigrants in the blink of an eye. The Tories, who never forgave Boris for campaigning to Leave, went berserk and embarked on a spree of infighting and assassination that inevitably ended in their destruction.

Michael Gove, a leading Brexiteer, detailed in the Daily Mail not only the reasons why we voted Leave but also the horrors that await us if we rejoin.

So where do Wes Streeting (did he mention his grandfather knew the Kray twins?) and No Look Mum Principles Burnham (until she decided to run for Prime Minister in the Brexit constituency) get the impression that Brussels is desperate to roll out the red carpet for a triumphant return to the bloc?

The gangsters running the EU’s protection racket could teach Ron and Reg a thing or two about negotiations. They would remove well over a pound of meat before even considering taking us back.

There’s a nice little fishing industry there. I don’t want anything to happen to you.

Then I ask again, what’s in it for them? For starters, they are worried that the Brexit battle will start again if Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister in a few years.

So why bother readmitting the UK? Starmer is already pulling us deeper into the maw of the EU. As part of his ‘reset’ he gave away our fishing waters as a basis for negotiation. He paid France a whopping £700 million to stop the boats; Even a senior French border official now admits this is not working.

How did Wes Streeting (did he mention his grandfather knew the Kray Twins?) get the impression that Brussels was desperate to roll out the red carpet for our triumphant return?

Theresa May and Jean-Claude Juncker at the 2016 European Council meeting in Brussels. 27 EU humiliates our ‘partner’ Theresa May by excluding her from post-summit dinner

Surkeir arbitrarily allows tens of thousands of ‘young people’ up to the age of 30 to come and live and work here. And it uses something called ‘Henry VIII’ rules to lock us into EU laws without having to get approval from MPs or voters.

The EU wants to seize our arms industry and military expertise, but they demand that we pay a high entrance fee for the privilege of accessing their procurement systems.

This time there will be no waivers or reductions and we will have to join the euro and the Schengen open border scheme (not that anyone will notice).

Back in the EU, we would be consistently outvoted by a majority of the other 27 members and would soon be sitting alone and isolated like Look Mum.

Anyway, there is enough EU already. The only reason why Labor hardliners are reigniting the Rejoin campaign and acting like our future belongs to Europe is because they have no idea what to do because they don’t have to raise taxes again and buy bigger TVs for leisure.

Instead, they dove headfirst into a leadership race that would dominate the summer.

Daft Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy even tried to claim on LBC Radio: it was There is no competition. Lisa Nandy did the same thing with Trevor Phillips on Sky; He failed to keep a straight face as he pointed out to Andy Burnham that he was campaigning in a by-election because he wanted to take a seat in Westminster and enter a contest to become Prime Minister.

Lammy also said he would work for a Labor victory at Makerfield. But there was already a Labor MP in Makerfield until he resigned to make way for Burnham.

As I wrote just after the local elections, Reform is sweeping the board in the Brexit-heavy Red Wall, with Labor inferring that this is a vote to rejoin the EU.

Reformation takes Essex and the east coast and the Conservatives win back Westminster and Wandsworth, but Labor claims what voters really want is for the ‘King in the North’, who was not on the ballot paper at the last general election, to be appointed as our next Prime Minister.

How stupid do they think we are? When will they stop insulting our intelligence? Their blinkered arrogance and sense of entitlement is breathtaking.

I’ve been arguing since February that we need a general election, especially if Burnham comes to power with a new hard-left agenda and huge taxes. et al. But we won’t get one unless bond markets pull the plug.

What Labor don’t understand, or deliberately try to ignore, is that local people are not just rejecting Never Here Keir, they are also rejecting this entire rotten Labor government that needs to be dismantled before it can do any more damage.

Even though Makerfield is a Brexit country and Reform won all the council seats in the local elections, I fear they will get away with it. (That’s why Burnham mockingly teases Europe. Ignore her, she’s lying.)

The danger here is that a left-wing ‘Stop Farage’ coalition will be formed to boost Burnham’s alleged domestic popularity. Despite recently winning by-elections in Gorton and Denton, the Greens are already considering withdrawing. Local Liberal Democrats will probably tactically vote for Burnham if it means stopping Reform and getting rid of Starmer.

It would probably be too much to ask the Conservatives to step aside or implore my old friend Rupert Lowe, the former Reform MP who had a spectacular split with Farage, not to field a candidate from the independent Restore party.

But the alternative is the coronation of a Prime Minister with a far-left agenda that the country has never had the opportunity to examine or vote for.

What we are witnessing is an anti-democratic palace coup attempt. Only Makerfield voters can stop this.

Look Mum No Principle As for Burnham, she deserves to suffer the same fate as our shameful Eurovision contestant.

Zero points.
