are warning that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will give huge concessions to the EU that will make “the migration problem worse.”
A leaked document showed that EU negotiators will force Starmer to agree to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), reports .
Eurosceptics are now launching a plan to try and prevent the Labour Government from backing down to the EU.
Ex- Opportunities Minister Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg told GB News: “Both the Tory and Reform leaders ought to promise if elected to leave any new Labour deal especially if it involves the European Court.
“Any deal could be devastating for fishermen and re-open the uncounted flood of people coming from the EU, making our migration problem worse.”
But he isn’t the only politician to speak out. Former Minister David Jones said that Brexiteers should launch a grassroots campaign to defend freedoms.
He said: “Submitting the country to the judgement of a foreign court is a huge degradation of sovereignty.”
“No patriotic should ever countenance it. Brexiteers in Parliament should use every procedural device to try to stop it.
“ outside Parliament should write to their Labour MPs and make clear that they will do everything in their power to ensure they are not returned at the next General Election.”

Shadow Defence Minister Mark Francois, also chairman of the European Research Group of Tory MP,s said it would be unsurprising to see Starmer make Britain beholdentto the ECJ.
He said: “It’s obvious really: in his heart of hearts, Starmer remains an ardent Remainer – and he always will.”
It is believed that the EU is hoping that the ECJ’s jurisdiction over the UK will extend from Northern Ireland to cover both carbon border taxes and veterinary deals, says GB News.
Ex-European Research Group chairman Steve Baker said only Labour MPs could stop Starmer from signing up to a sovereignty-pooling proposal.
He said: “This is Groundhog Day. The UK is out and making its way. Any return to the jurisdiction of the for the whole UK repudiates the result.

“The unique circumstances of Northern Ireland are no excuse: NI has an open border with a foreign, EU country where GB does not.
“There is nothing Conservative, Reform or DUP MPs can do to stop any reversal by the Prime Minister. Only a resolute and well-organised band of Labour MPs could stop him.”
oversaw the end of ECJ jurisdiction for Great Britain when he secured the deal back in 2020.
The deal was achieved despite then-EU negotiator Michel Barnier claiming that the Luxembourg court was a red line for any agreement.
Johnson looked at ways to remove the ECJ’s already existing oversight over Northern Ireland in 2023, he doubled-down on his opposition to ECJ overreach in a warning over the weekend.
Writing for The Daily Mail, argued: “By agreeing to the adjudication of the European court – without even having a judge on the court! – we have junked one of the fundamental principles of . And to what end?”
The European Commission has announced its taking the British Government to the Luxembourg court over two alleged violations.
Brussels says there are “several shortcomings” in the UK’s implementation of European law.
The second case concerned Britain’s Brussels-breaking Bilateral Investment Treaties with Bulgaria, Czechia, Croatia, Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia.
Responding to both cases, a Government spokesman said: “These cases relate to issues from when the UK was an EU member state and during the transition period. We are not going to comment further on legal proceedings.
“We remain focused on working to reset our relationship with the EU and to make work for the British people.”
