  "textContent": "\n\n\nLord Hermer is set to outline how to rejoin the European Union in a speech condemning Brexit and Nigel Farage today.\n\nThe Attorney General will argue Brexit has done \"damage\" to Britain's standing in the world as he attacks the Reform UK leader and the Conservatives.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIn a speech at an event held by the European Movement campaign group, he will claim that those who once campaigned for Brexit have now fallen \"uncharacteristically quiet\".\n\nTalks of Britain's future UK-EU relationship have reignited ahead of the Makerfield by-election and potential Labour leadership contest.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nFormer Health Secretary turned would-be Prime Minister Wes Streeting sparked fury weeks ago when he claimed leaving the bloc was a \"catastrophic mistake\".\n\nGreater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, meanwhile, has tried to downplay the prospect of reversing the will of the people in 2016 in a bid to win the Leave-voting constituency.\n\nToday, the Attorney General will claim Labour has been left to clean up a \"mess\" left by Brexit.\n\n\"Strikingly, the politicians who were key proponents of Brexit, and major figures in the campaign to Leave, now appear reluctant to remind us of the promises that they made,\" he will say.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"When was the last time you heard Nigel Farage proudly talk about Brexit? Or make the case for the benefits it’s brought Britain?\n\n\"The reason he has become uncharacteristically quiet about what he used to describe as his crowning achievement is because he knows the damage it caused Britain, our standing in the world, and our economy.\"\n\nThen, he will outline how he thinks Rejoiners can win over British voters if Brexit is ever put to the people in future.\n\nHe is expected to warn those seeking to make the case for Europe should not repeat mistakes of the 2016 referendum and be seen as defenders of the status quo.\n\nA landmark second EU-UK summit will take on Brussels on July 22 as part of Sir Keir Starmer's long-attempted relations \"reset\" with the bloc.\n\n### BREXIT - READ MORE:\n\n\n\n\n  * The 'hidden' Brexit polls that tear apart the Remainer myth that Britons want to rejoin the EU\n  * EU police given instant access to British motorists' details to sniff out organised criminals\n  * British holidaymakers warned airport chaos could last for TWO YEARS as new system causes long delays\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe announcement was made simultaneously on social media by Sir Keir Starmer, European Council President Antonio Costa, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as they met at the G7 Summit in Evian-les-Bains.\n\nA youth mobility deal, allowing British and EU member state citizens under 30 to live, work and study in each other's countries, is set to be agreed at the summit.\n\nBrussels and London had hoped to hold the meeting on July 13.\n\nBut both parties delayed announcing a date amid uncertainty over how many EU countries would object to granting Britons a visa, according to Politico.\n\nSir Keir said: \"My Labour Government is delivering on our promise to reset our relationship and put Britain at the heart of Europe.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"Together we will tackle the cost of living, boost jobs and create opportunities for young people.\"\n\nAlso on the agenda is alignment on sanitary and phytosanitary measures.\n\nBoth parties have already partly agreed to the SPS deal, with the UK unveiling some of the checks that would be removed in order to allow food producers time to prepare for the implementation of the deal.\n\nThe Government has also already asked to rejoin the EU's pet passport scheme to allow animals freedom of movement within the bloc after a one-time check.\n\nA Conservative Party spokesman said: \"Lord Hermer should focus on his job as Attorney General.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
