‘Brexit has left Britain weaker — the UK-EU reset must go further’
“Brexit left us weaker – economically, diplomatically and in terms of our security.” Research from the London School of Economics shows that 14,000 small businesses have stopped trading with the EU altogether. The National Institute of Economic and Social Research reports that foreign direct investment has dropped by 37% since 2016. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecasts that by 2035, Brexit will have left the UK economy 4% smaller than it would have been if we had remained in the EU — a loss of hundreds of billions in trade, investment, and productivity.

Let’s get Staffordshire back into Erasmus+

Being outside Erasmus+ puts our country, and our young people, at a disadvantage. Sign our petition calling on the Government to open negotiations to re-enter the Erasmus+ programme. #bringbackerasmus
