Brighton & Hove Lib Dems Working to re-connect with Europe.
Let's Re-Connect with Europe
Brexit is costing the UK Economy £100 Billion a Year in Lost Growth.
A report from Bloomberg shows that the UK is currently suffering £100 billion a year in lost growth with the pro-Brexit voting areas suffering the worst. What has happened to all that world beating growth that Johnson, the Tories and the pro-Brexiteers promised? Or do we have to wait for 50 years as Rees-Mogg forecast for the promised benefits to show through? The disaster that was Brexit carries on delivering. We need to re-connect with the EU in a meaningful way not through vague promises of world beating trade deals.
What has Brexit delivered?
- A £6 billion increase in our food bills.
- A 4% reduction in our trade with Europe.
- A trade deal with Australia that favours the Australians and costs our farmers.
- Worker shortages throughout the NHS, Social Services, the Service sector and farming.
- Rotting fruit and vegetables in our farmers' fields.
- Queues to get across the channel and in airports both here and in Europe.
- More red tape.
- The list goes on
The Tories voted for it, Labour sat on their hands and did nothing to stop it.
Brexiteers promised everything but have delivered nothing! It's time we called them to account and worked to re-connect with the people of Europe
