Nigel Farage tonight vowed to fight Labour's Brexit reset 'all the way'.

The Reform UK leader said Keir Starmer's latest attempts to cosy up to the EU would 'solve none of our economic problems' and instead hand sovereignty to 'unelected EU bureaucrats'.

Mr Farage also revealed Reform is ready to go to court next week to challenge Labour's attempts to postpone a string of local elections. 

His comments came as a leading ally of Sir Keir said the Prime Minister could take the UK 'very close' to rejoining the single market, despite Labour's manifesto pledge not to reverse Brexit.

Sir Keir sparked a storm at the weekend by telling the BBC that he was looking at better access to the single market.

'I think we should get closer and if it's in our national interest to have even closer alignment with the single market, then we should consider that,' he said.

'If it's in our interest to do so, we should take that step.'

Mr Farage hit back tonight – warning that Sir Keir's attempts to reverse Brexit would damage Britain and backfire on Labour at the ballot box.

Speaking at a major rally at London's Excel centre, Mr Farage pointed to the declining influence of the EU on a world stage now dominated by Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.

He accused Sir Keir of gearing up for a 'Brexit betrayal', adding: 'Bit by bit, he is taking away the ability, not just of parliament to make decisions, but of your rights as voters to decide who should take those decisions.

'And I promise you, we will fight this giveaway, this surrender of our sovereignty, of our money, of our fishing grounds and everything else. We'll fight it tooth and nail. We'll fight it all the way.' 

Earlier, he told the Mail: 'Everything that's happening internationally proves the increasing irrelevance of the EU.
