BORIS WARNS OF KEIR BREXIT THREAT
The former prime minister is adamant that joining some of the world's most exciting emerging economic powerhouses in the Indo-Pacific partnership will restore Britain to its rightful place on the global stage.
He stressed that becoming part of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) - a £12trillion group of nations including Japan, Malaysia and Singapore has only been made possible by Brexit. Mr Johnson said: "Joining the CPTPP is the way ahead for free-trading global Britain and is a huge Conservative achievement.
"Joining these fast-growing economies in the Pacific is only possible because of Brexit - because we took back control of our laws and our tariffs.
"It would be a huge mistake to drift back into the orbit of Brussels and sacrifice our economic independence.
"But that is what Keir Starmer wants, and he must be stopped." Reform UK leader Nigel Farage also warned against linking up with Brussels, saying: "There is a very big world outside of the EU and much of it is growing.
"To go in lockstep with a politically and economically failing EU is madness." Their warnings came as Labour worked to "reset" relations with Brussels and the latest figures showed Britain's economy shrank in October for the second month in a row.
It has also been reported that EU chiefs will insist the UK surrenders fishing rights and accept its red tape as the price of a fresh trade deal.
But Business and Trade Jonathan Secretary Reynolds today insisted the Government would grasp post-Brexit opportunities hands".
