Fury erupted last night as Germany suggested that Britain should reverse Brexit and negotiate a new trade deal with the European Union. Berlin's finance chief, Christian Lindner, made the comments during an interview with the Brexit-bashing BBC, urging the UK to "intensify" its relationship with the EU. However, top Tories have criticized the remarks, warning that a closer relationship is merely a "Trojan horse" for overturning the referendum.

Germany's Standing Invitation

During the interview, Christian Lindner extended a "standing invitation" to the United Kingdom, offering to strengthen the trading relationship with the European Union. He expressed appreciation for the UK, its values, and its people, emphasizing the desire for increased intensity in the relationship.

These mischievous remarks come in the wake of Sir Keir Starmer's statement that he would seek a closer relationship with Brussels if elected as Prime Minister.

Furious Brexiteer Response

Furious Brexiteer Tories have condemned the German stance, accusing them of desperation due to their own struggling economy. They argue that any closer deal with the EU would compromise Britain's independence.

Ex Cabinet minister Simon Clarke stated, "We know there is no closer deal to be agreed without customs unions and single market membership, both of which would make Brexit pointless. Labour's desire for a closer deal is either empty words or a Trojan Horse to overturn our vote for independence."

Jacob Rees-Mogg added, "The UK economy is growing faster than Germany's. So, of course, they want to get us back into a bloc which benefits German manufacturers and French farmers. The British people will not stand for us rejoining the EU."

Top Tory John Redwood emphasized that if Germany and the EU want fewer trade barriers with the UK, they should simply remove them, as any existing barriers are ones they imposed. He also made it clear that the UK would not accept additional EU rules and requirements.

Labour's Response

Labour has insisted that they do not want to reverse Brexit and have stated that Sir Keir Starmer's comments were solely focused on maintaining high standards on food and animal welfare.

As tensions rise, it remains to be seen how the UK-Germany relationship will evolve in the coming months.
