LABOUR was accused last night of a "great Brexit betrayal" that will put Britain back in the grip of Brussels.
A new law is being drawn up by ministers which could put UK manufacturers in lockstep with the EU on product safety rules.
Four former Cabinet big guns have blasted Sir Keir Starmer for trying to "trade away" our freedoms in a bid to cosy up to Europe.
The angry MPs warned that "slavishly" following EU laws will plunge Britain into a dangerous "horror show" that will wreck Brexit opportunities. Businesses risk being tied up in red tape, wrecking future trade deals with the rest of the world, they say, which is the "opposite of what British people voted for" in the 2016 referendum.
One expert warned people will be left with fewer shopping choices and could be stopped from buying more powerful vacuum cleaners and dishwashers.
Former International Trade Secretary Sir Liam Fox declared: "Labour has managed to diminish our energy security, promised to wreck our green belt and now has embarked on the great Brexit betrayal, bringing us back within the grasp of EU law over which we have no control.
"The people of Britain voted in the referendum for an independent sovereign nation. Now Labour has already begun to trade it away for benefits unknown."
The new legislation - buried in a briefing note accompanying the King's Speech last week will allow the UK to "mirror" updated EU rules governing product safety.
