JRM delivers the perfect summation of Brexit Facts4EU’s most popular report in the last 12 months

Yesterday we broke all records – for the second time in two months. The new Stand for Our Sovereignty organisation reached hundreds of thousands of the British voting public with powerful messaging about proof of the reversal of Brexit by this Government.

In a report which the Brexit Facts4EU team had worked on for many days with the new Stand for Our Sovereignty team, we provided the proof – if indeed it were needed – that Sir Keir Starmer’s government is set on aligning the UK closely and permanently with the EU’s regulations, designed in the interests of countries such as Germany and France.

Blessed with cross-party support from some of the most widely-known politicians in the country, Stand for our Sovereignty’s damning report became the talking point of all those readers deeply concerned at the crises rapidly developing throughout the UK, from the inability to control mass migration, to the consequences of the abject surrender to the EU and other supranational bodies as our lawmakers and masters.

Sir Jacob weighs in

In one of the masterful soliloquies which open his aptly titled ‘State of the Nation’ show on GB News, the Rt Hon Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg delivered a perfect summation of the Stand for our Sovereignty report which had been co-produced with Facts4EU. Below we re-publish his words, with kind permission of GB News, together with a video. This is followed by a second video of the ensuing conversation with Sir Jacob’s studio guest, Lord David Frost.

Sir Keir Starmer’s true colours as Mr Second Referendum are showing

GB News has revealed the Prime Minister is set to lose Brexit freedoms in the car industry

Sir Keir Starmer’s true colours as Mr Second Referendum are showing.

And speaking of handbrake turns, GB News has revealed the Prime Minister is set to lose Brexit freedoms in the car industry through his reset that forces dynamic alignment with the EU.

Shared exclusively with GB News, the new Stand for Our Sovereignty organisation, backed by think-tank Brexit Facts4EU, has obtained proof that Britain's motor industry is to fall under EU rules.

It was just only last year that the Department for Transport issued a policy paper, underlining the Government's intention to "seize the opportunities of Brexit to ensure our regulatory system is agile and pro-innovation".

But here’s the handbrake turn - in an official response from the Department for Transport to the House of Commons Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee, it reads: "The department recently wrote to manufacturers to reassure them that GB regulations will be maintained to be aligned with those in the EU to ensure vehicles can continue to be sold UK-wide.

"The Department has made a commitment to an explicit presumption of alignment because this is in the interest of the UK in terms of breaking down barriers to trade with our largest trading partner, in a predominantly export-focused industry, and protecting the UK internal market.” But dynamic alignment with the EU is not in Britain’s interest - especially not when it comes to the car industry.

It means copying EU rules automatically, no questions asked, even if those rules make no sense for British roads, British consumers, or British manufacturers and inevitably adding no extra costs. This is submission with a smile.

If we stay independent, we can craft regulations that actually work for us - faster, leaner, and cheaper. That’s good for carmakers, good for supply chains, and good for drivers who don’t want to pay thousands more because some EU committee says so.

And let’s not forget: outside the EU, we’re free to strike trade deals that suit our market - with the U.S., Japan, Australia - without getting tangled in European red tape. Dynamic alignment would chain us to a bloc we no longer belong to.

But unfortunately, under this government, dynamic alignment will extend well beyond the cars. We can expect this to apply to all sorts of sectors.

Only when we take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit can we expect to grow the British economy, unleash our latent growth and improve living standards for everyone.

Conversation with Lord Frost, lasting just 11 minutes, this is a ‘must-watch’

Stand for Our Sovereignty (SOS) now needs YOU

Having political support together with superb coverage in the media is one thing. Turning this into a lean, mean, fighting machine which has a real effect and influences the government to row back and even U-turn, (as Sir Keir has already done several times), is a different matter.

This takes a professional organisation and the funding to pay for it. Stand for Our Sovereignty (SOS) needs thousands of members of the public to stand up and say: "Yes, not only have we had enough, but we're going to join the organisation to show our support and to help towards the costs." Standard membership costs the equivalent of 3p per day. Is that really too much when the sovereignty of our whole country is at stake?

PLEASE JOIN STAND FOR OUR SOVEREIGNTY HERE

A great many people have already given their time for free, working long, anti-social hours. Their efforts have now been proven on more than one occasion. There's a team ready to go, battle-hardened and experienced - they just need you and thousands like you to make the commitment today.

The public is very supportive, as this article proves. As a member of the public, will you do your bit today? And then will you go further and tell your friends and family that there IS hope and to join too? If you do, you might be surprised at what happens. And you'll know that you've taken a stand. A Stand for Our Sovereignty.

Observations

A word about Brexit Facts4EU in all of this

It was Brexit Facts4EU that was the organisation that initiated this new sovereignty campaign. We remain one of the seven organisations supporting this new venture, which now has its own identity. In these early days, we have provided a great deal of support and assistance to SOS, all for free.

We hope that not only will readers choose to support and join SOS, but that they will also donate to Facts4EU for our continuing, relentless endeavours. We understand that these are difficult times for many people but the level of our donations currently mean that are having to survive on less than the national minimum wage. This seems very wrong for an organisation that has team members who have put their lives on hold for so long, to fight for their country.

We can only hope that readers might show their generosity and contribute to all the costs we have incurred in getting SOS off the ground. To do this, and to help us to carry on our vital work in defence of independence, sovereignty, democracy and freedom, please donate here today. Thank you.

In Jan 22 JRM produced a glossy Govt brochure entitled “The Benefits of Brexit”. First item on the thin list was immigration “taking back control of borders”. Yesterday the ONS revealed the UK population had increased by 700,000 in the 12 months up to June 24. This was only the second highest increase. The highest was up to June 23 with an increase of 833,700. The deciding issue for Brexit was immigration.
.
Two of the final points are laughable. Blue passports and crown symbol on pint glasses, both of which could have been done whilst in the EU.
.
JRM was part of the cabinet under Boris and Truss. No wonder he lost his seat.

“The Department of Transport recently wrote to manufacturers to reassure them that GB regulations will be maintained to be aligned with those in the EU”.
Can anyone tell me why our car manufactures wanted to be reassured?

I cannot understand how anyone with a clear understanding of what the EU does to countries can honestly say there are benefits that outweigh the disadvantages.
Aside from the fact that we have a governing elite that are hell bent on staying either in the EU or under its control. The UK could benefit in so many ways by removing all ties.
I can only hope that the next government (hopefully not conservative or Labour) will establish secure borders, deport illegal migrants, stop any form of taxpayer funded handouts to people who have contributed nothing. At the same time all net zero tax and subsidy scams should be abolished. The economy should be returned to a low tax - high productivity model where success is rewarded and not punished.
The alternative I fear is too dreadful to contemplate. I read other comments on here from europhiles and can only come to the conclusion that they are misinformed, are under the payment of pro EU organisations, or simply weak of mind!
The current administration in the US has shown how to deal with the EU. If the EU was the powerhouse it and its supporters claim it to be then they would not have folded as they did. The EU is sclerotic, over regulated, heavily controlled and anticompetitive.
Let’s just hope common sense prevails, otherwise I think the UK is finished as we know it.

Stop blaming Brexit for the failures of government.
.
And stop trying to suggest that Brexit was all about the colour of the passport.
.

.
Because they were worried about the potential fragmentation of the UK market, with specific reference to the NI.market within it

2 Mr Sceptic. Are you suggesting that our own car manufacturing industry is part of the ‘anti-Brexit establishment’ or ‘the Blob’?

6. NH , Thursday, July 31, 2025, 13:21:

All UK and EU major car manufacturers and the 2 trade bodies, UK's SMMT and EU's ACEA, have recently been found guilty of running a 15 year illegal price fixing cartel. This involved collusion on fixing the prices for recycling but if they have been getting away with this for 15 years it seems likely that they may have been cooperating in other areas. As we know many of these companies were involved in the diesel emissions scandal,
.
The interesting point is that this was not discovered by the EU or UK authorities even though it was going on for 15 years. It was only discovered after Mercedes Benz "blew the whistle" on the cartel. As Mercedes is 21% owned by China it makes me question if China pressurised Mercedes to expose this scandal. If not why did they wait 15 years ?
.
No small car manufacturers or Chinese car companies were involved in this scandal.

6 NH An excellent post.
I wonder why Facts4EU, Stand for our Sovereignty, Richard Tice, Suella Braverman, Jim Allister and Jacob Rees-Mogg didn’t mention this.

I am not sure what your point is ?
If you are doubting the accuracy of what I am saying then it's easy to verify as it's published information by both the European Commission and the UK Gov / CMA, published April 1st 2025. If your asking why the European Union and the UK's Labour Government have only made very low-key press releases you would have to ask them. That does not change the fact that all the companies incolved admitted to their involvement in a 5 year illegal price fixing cartel.
