      Putting up new “barriers” between the EU and UK will harm European businesses and stop the continent from competing with China, the Business Secretary has warned.

      Peter Kyle has pledged to lobby European powers – led by France – not to [shut out Britain from a “Made in Europe” scheme](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/uk-collision-course-eu-breach-brexit-trade-deal-4089175?ico=in-line_link) which ministers fear will slow the progress of the post-Brexit “reset” of cross-Channel relations.

      During a visit to Brussels, Kyle has signed a new deal to [co-operate on enforcing competition law](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/uk-set-for-fresh-brexit-reset-battle-to-join-eus-weapons-fund-4207468?ico=in-line_link) to help firms which want to do business in both the UK and the EU.

      He said the arrangement would bring “predictability, stability and long-term planning” to international companies and help to grow the British economy.

      Sir Keir Starmer’s Government is [pushing to build stronger ties with the EU](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/brexit-cost-uk-universities-cheaper-fees-4202185?ico=in-line_link) – although Kyle said that the British people were “not really nostalgic for the past” before Brexit as he denied trying to turn back the clock.

      # BMW worried about barriers, Kyle claims

      But during his diplomatic blitz of the bloc’s capital, the Business Secretary also sounded a warning about the dangers that the “Made in Europe” plans might pose.

      The policy, which is being led by Emmanuel Macron and a close ally of the French President who serves as the European commissioner for industrial strategy, is intended to prioritise EU businesses for government contracts and subsidies.

      Kyle claimed that excluding British firms from the scheme would damage firms which operate across borders.

      Speaking to reporters, he said: “I was very struck by the private conversations I’ve been having with manufacturers that are EU domiciled, manufacturers that are operating in the UK, such as BMW, and their concerns over the potential barriers being put up to the smooth functioning of their operations, which, from their perspective, harnesses the best of two distinct territories.”

      The minister added: “We are already fully integrated in terms of manufacturing supply chains. And just look at Airbus, for example. Wings for Airbus are made in the UK and the part of the space program for Airbus is made in Swindon.
      “So that’s just one example of a pan-European project which includes the UK, but has no bearing on the EU or its membership of the EU.”

      He insisted he was not “lecturing or cherry-picking”, adding: “Having two sides that are aligned, that’s where the magic happens. And hopefully you’ve seen from the tone that I’ve taken while I’m here, that I’m really seeking where the alignment is, where the opportunities are.”

      Teresa Ribera, the deputy to European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, refused to say whether or not the UK would ultimately be included in the “Made in Europe” scheme, joking: “I don’t like spoiling books or films.”

      What “post-brexit” reset? No, honestly, what does the UK think that is besides empty rhetoric?

      I’m all for the UK reproaching the EU, but they have to actually _do_ something. The only time the relationship between the two parties is discussed is when bellends like Farage set the narrative. Starmer and labour, seemingly still traumatised by the loss under Corbyn, engage with such talk as though it’s political suicide.

      Starmer still doesn’t know if he wants the UK to have a special relationship with the US or the EU. Well, in the immortal words of whomever: “shit, or get off the pot”. Make a choice and stick with it, cause this fence sitting isn’t gonna work out for you

      UK buddy. We have been through this already. You can’t have all the benefits with none of the obbligations.

      You are welcome to reapply to EU membership and benefit for that.

      it won’t be as good a deal you had, but it’ll be vastly better than having an internal border between northern ireland and the UK mainland.

      If only we had some kind of union the brits could be a part of

      Well, they can just stop operating in the UK then. How about that, Kyle?

      UK wanted to exit Europe. Now they’re the pariah they wanted to be, deal with it. Go, make your trade deals with trump

      Incroyable, le Royaume-Uni est exclu du marché unique européen qu’elle a expressément souhaité quitter.

      If the UK government wants to treat EU citizens the same way as everyone else on migration, then the EU should treat the UK the same as everyone else on trade.

      We shouldn’t be focusing on continental defence anyway, let Germany and Poland do that.

      We need to be worrying about the Atlantic and keeping the sea lines open between the UK and North America, that by far in a way serves us better than trying to help defend the continent.

      Take the battlegroup out of Estonia and bolster the Marines in Norway, no need to get involved in all this shit when we can just stick to the likes of JEF.

      It’s painful to see the government try to get involved in something where we are clearly not wanted, we have no business fighting in Eastern Europe, embrace JEF and sack off the rest of them.

      If only there was some sort of union of European countries the UK could be part of.

      Do they imagine all EU provisions and deals include some kind of special exemption for Britain? It’s really difficult to understand the way they think sometimes.

      -Part of the EU with benefits that other countries don’t have.

      -Leaves the EU.

      -Blames France because they can’t have benefits from the EU even though they are no longer in it.

      -Profit..?
