EU seeks Farage clause in Brexit reset talks
AI Generated (Gemini)
In Brexit discussions with Keir Starmer, Brussels wants a stipulation requiring the UK to pay considerable sums if future governments nullify accords. This 'Farage clause' would compel Britain to fund border measures and infrastructure should agreements be cancelled. EU diplomats reportedly intend this as a safeguard against Eurosceptic parties. Reform UK stated it would end veterinary deals if in power. Kemi Badenoch pledged to undo Starmer's arrangements. UK officials confirmed termination clauses are typical.
