Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK
We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin the EU, reverse the damage, boost growth, increase tax revenues and restore opportunities in the UK

The UK will not be rejoining the EU, but this Government has reset its relationship with the EU with a new strategic partnership: A deal that is good for UK bills, borders, jobs and growth.

Background
The OBR (Office for Budget Responsibility) March 2025 economic forecasts show the Brexit Trade and Cooperation Agreement will reduce long-run productivity by 4% due mainly to the increase in non-tariff barriers on trade with both imports and exports 15% lower, and that new trade deals will not have a material impact to offset this. Also that savings on payments to the EU have been absorbed by increased Government spending.
It's time to seek to rejoin the EU, remove those barriers and boost the economy.
