10 year anniversary of the Brexit referendum

That this House believes that successive governments failed to tackle serious inequality in the years leading to the 2016 Brexit referendum; further believes that, a decade on, Brexit has failed to reduce inequality, has been profoundly damaging and that there's now a growing consensus in favour of a closer relationship with the EU; wholly rejects the fearmongering and misinformation from the leaders of the main campaign to leave the EU; also believes that the British public and UK businesses have witnessed a litany of Brexit-related broken promises, economic turbulence, decimated trade, and regulatory nightmares, with small businesses particularly impacted; notes that analysis of Bank of England company data suggests the UK economy has taken a 6% hit from the effects of Brexit; considers that the UK needs to cooperate as much as possible with its nearest neighbours to address the multiple challenges it faces including shifting geopolitical relationships, global conflict and the urgent climate and nature crises; and calls for the UK Government to set out a roadmap to rejoining the EU to provide certainty and stability for businesses and citizens and to provide current and future generations with greater opportunities to live, love and work in the EU.
