Brexit will hit poor hardest

So areas that voted most heavily to leave the EU are the ones that will be hit the hardest by Brexit.

If there’s no trade agreement it will cost the UK £80billion – according to reports that Labour forced the Tories to publish.

That’s about two-thirds of the yearly NHS budget. Stick that on the side of a bloody bus, Boris!

Yet again, the North will be hit harder. The average loss for the North West, North East, and Yorkshire and Humber will be 14 per cent. In the South West, South East and London it’ll be five per cent.

Even more worrying is the leaked government analysis that some industries face additional costs of up to 20 per cent, with the car industry – mainly sited in the North with companies like

Health

Secretary Jeremy

Hunt tells hospital staff who have been battling through their worst-ever winter crisis that they “knew what they were signing up to”. I’m sure they didn’t sign up to having the NHS ruined by an idiot like Jeremy

Hunt.

Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi – facing a 13 per cent hike in costs.

The Japanese ambassador is so worried he held a meeting with Theresa May warning they’d shut down operations in the UK if they start losing money.

So a hard Brexit will only make the gap between the North and South even wider.

This is why it’s vital we get the best trade deal with the EU. If that means staying in the customs union and restricting our chance of striking deals with the rest of the world, so be it.

Trump will put America first and insist as part of any deal that US private healthcare companies get access to our NHS.

That’ll see further privatisation and put profit before people.

Since 44 per cent of our business is with Europe, and Canada’s inferior trade deal with the EU took at least seven years to agree, I’d rather stick with our European friends than risk it with American profiteers.
