Disturbing footage of an unofficial EU army will be the future of the British military if Labour’s plan to join a so-called “security pact” with Brussels is enacted, Nigel Farage and Tory Brexiteer MPs have warned.<\/p>\n
The footage this week from Cadiz in Spain showed the EU’s first official military exercise.<\/p>\n
It was the first time that member states had been formally contacted to take part in a military exercise on EU headed notepaper.<\/p>\n
While not yet officially an “EU army”, the exercise is the closest yet that a formal EU military force has been acknowledged and it has caused new alarm about Labour’s plan to enter a so-called “security pact”.<\/p>\n
Labour’s shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy confirmed the plan at the party conference in Liverpool and it would take the UK deeper into EU military structures.<\/p>\n

Something which they had always denied they would do is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n Stoke North MP Jonathan Gullis said: “I remember when the Remoaners like Sir Keir Starmer told us this wouldn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n “Now it\u2019s in plain slight for all to see.<\/p>\n “The worry is Sir Keir was willing to take a share of the EU\u2019s illegal migrants and surrender our borders to Brussels, we\u2019d be foolish to think he wouldn\u2019t also want to sign up this this nonsense either.\u201d<\/p>\n Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke Smith added: “There is no doubt that these images will be the consequence of a security pact signed by Labour with the EU.”<\/p>\n At the Labour conference, David Lammy said: “We were surprised when Boris Johnson rejected the opportunity for an EU security pact with our European partners.”<\/p>\n He confirmed that under Labour Britain “will join a security pact with the eU.”<\/p>\n
