Without migrants, we wouldn't have the NHS

Our NHS would collapse without migrants.

What must Labour do to win?

 

So, Keir Starmer made it crystal clear today that a Labour Party government under his prime ministership will not attempt any significant changes to the Tory Brexit deal.

Labour's fantasy Brexit

On BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, Labour’s Shadow Brexit Secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, claimed that Britain could be in the EU Customs Union and still be free to negotiate its own trade agreements with other countries around the world.

Brexit is built on sand

Prime Minister, Theresa May, has summed up her promises for Brexit in just 15-seconds: no hard border on the island of Ireland, and as frictionless trade as possible with the rest of the EU.

True Tories are Remainers

Arron Banks, the insurance tycoon and Brexit campaigner who bankrolled both UKIP and Leave.eu, has launched a vitriolic campaign to deselect Remain-supporting Tory MPs who represent ‘Leave’ constituencies.

The Tory and Labour Brexit cake delusion

Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has sparked concerns in Brussels of a no-deal Brexit after he told EU officials that he will vote against any Brexit that fails to deliver “the exact same benefits” as membership of the EU’s Single Market and customs union.

Free trade isn't the same as frictionless trade

The EU and Japan have just signed an unprecedented free trade agreement which will create one of the world’s largest trading blocs.

Britain needs the EU Single Market - article and video

More of Britain’s exports and imports go to and come from the EU Single Market than any other area in the world. It’s our most important, most lucrative, most vital international market for transacting business, upon which our country’s wealth depends.

This week in Parliament, Prime Minister Theresa May said:

“We are committed to delivering on our commitment to having no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, and that we have as frictionless trade as possible with the European Union.”

What Nigel Farage told British expats in Spain

About two million Brits live, work, study or are retired in other EU countries. Over 800,000 of them are estimated to reside in Spain alone; over one million if you include those who sojourn there for just part of each year. 

The numbers might now be higher, as the latest estimates* were published in 2010.  In addition, many tens of thousands of British own second homes right across the European Union – over 140,000 estimated to be in Spain and Italy. 

Understandably, these British expatriates are concerned about what will happen to them, and their homes abroad, if Britain leaves the European Union.  ‘Expat Forums’ are replete with anxious postings about just this subject. 

This month Nigel Farage, leader of the anti-EU UKIP party, was interviewed by Talk Radio Europe, which is based in Spain and broadcasts in English to British expats living there.
