Brexit: at what cost to business?

Register now to join us on Tuesday 9th May 2023 at 6pm at our next Labour Movement for Europe members online seminar with Darren Jones MP.

Darren is Chair of the Business and Trade Select Committee and will be speaking about what an incoming Labour Government could do to address the impact of Brexit on British businesses.

8 out of 10 UK firms say that leaving the European Union has had a bigger impact on their supply chains than the war in Ukraine*. As our Chair, Stella Creasy, recently argued in parliament

“The truth is that we know what damage Brexit is doing to our country, and we have seen it for years. Members have already talked about many of the impacts, including the shortages of people working in our hospitality industry and in health and social care; the blunt economic damage; the thousands of small businesses in constituencies across this country that have just given up trading—one of the truisms here is that people can fight many battles in life, but they cannot fight geography—because being able to trade just as easily with 500 million consumers on our doorstep does make a difference; the supply chains that have been severed by our leaving the European Union; the wealth of paperwork that so many people now face; and the impact that it has had on the cost of living.”

This members event will be your opportunity to hear first hand from Darren about the work of his committee on this issue. We will also be discussing how you can help the work the Labour Movement for Europe is doing within the Labour movement to campaign for action to help British businesses facing the bills of Brexit.
