High Peak Liberal DemocratsLeave voting areas of the UK are amongst the worst hit in the Government's own analysis of the impact of Brexit.
Staying in the single market, which the Government refuses to do, would see a 3% fall in GDP in the North East. That is best case scenario. If we crash out with no deal, that hard-hit area of the country stands to lose 16% of GDP.
Similarly in the West Midlands, no deal amounts to a 13% fall in GDP.
Here's the full analysis:
Tom Brake said:
This is a damning outlook for Britain. The Tories are putting everything on the line because they do not care about the lives and livelihoods of the people of the UK.
The government need to start being clear what they are fighting for. They are still keeping no deal on the table despite how crippling it would be to the regional economy.
People did not vote to make themselves poorer. They should be allowed a vote on the final deal and a chance to exit from Brexit.
Willie Rennie looked at the impact on Scotland and across the UK and accused the Conservatives of putting the public in the firing line;
The Government's own research is now showing that Brexit will be an economic disaster for every part of the UK. We need to stop Brexit before it is too late.
The Conservatives are putting the public in the firing line because they are hell bent on Brexit.
People did not vote to make themselves poorer and should have the right to reject a bad deal on Brexit.
