Brexit ‘is bad for our health’
4 out of 5 docs fear NHS will collapse after EU split Half of UK want 2nd vote ...with a choice to stay put Warnings of brain drain, drugs and treatment crisis Lack of immigration policy risks creating bad vacuum
HALF the country yesterday said they would now support a second EU referendum.
An online poll of 1,466 Sky customers found 50% wanted another vote with three options – supporting the final deal, leaving without a deal, or staying in the EU.
But 45% voted against and No10 insisted there would be no referendum.
Best for Britain chief executive Eloise Todd said: “The public are tired of being spoken for. They don’t want a deal full of concessions, or a nightmare no-deal. It’s crucial to have a people’s vote with the option to stay in the EU.” Tory infighting over Brexit continued yesterday. One Cabinet source said of Theresa May’s Chequers plan: “It is a kamikaze approach to no-deal. It’s chaos.”
The Tories yesterday denied claims the Army was on standby to hand out food if a doomsday no-deal Brexit happens. THERESA May’s failure to outline a post-brexit immigration policy has created a dangerous vacuum, MPS warn today.
The Commons Home Affairs Committee is urging the
Government to set out plans for who will be allowed to come to the UK.
Chairwoman
Yvette Cooper said: “Immigration was one of the central issues during the referendum and it divided the country, but sadly there has been no attempt by the Government to hold any kind of sensible debate on it since. “That is disappointing and it has left a vacuum and it’s really important that people don’t exploit that again. “Those who exploited concerns over immigration during the referendum need to be more responsible when it is debated in the run-up to the final deal.”
