If you haven't had a chance to
read the full Frontier Economics
report, here are the
headlines: A boost to UK GDP of up to 2.2%.
Clawing back up to
half the economic hit of Brexit to UK GDP. In the shorter term, growth effects that
are double the estimated impact of a UK-US trade
deal. This kind of growth, in
monetary terms, is close to two years of the
much-needed increases to the NHS capital budget. And in even
better news, the report shows that, in monetary terms, the proceeds
are roughly equal for both the UK and the EU - around
£30bn.
The research also shows that even
if Donald Trump decides to hit us with trade tariffs, this deal would
help shield both the UK and EU economies.
And the best thing? This would all
be within the Labour Government’s mandate and Keir Starmer's
negotiating Brexit 'red lines'. It's based on deep
alignment with the EU on goods and services.
A policy that's popular with the
public. We commissioned YouGov to poll more than 15,000 people on the
UK-EU reset - and voters in all but two GB
constituencies would support the UK becoming more closely aligned with
EU standards and regulations.
This is what the Government's been
missing in its plan for growth. Send the research to
your MP, and tell them that this is the route to putting money back in
the pockets of ordinary Brits.
