\n This comes on the ninth anniversary of the Brexit referendum.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ellie Chowns MP said on June 23:\u00a0“Today marks nine years since the UK voted to leave the EU, a decision for which the costs have been painfully real for families, businesses, and our planet.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Over nearly a decade we have seen our economy shrink, exporters lose vital markets, and barriers impede the cultural collaborations we once took for granted.\n<\/p>\n
\n “As Greens, we believe the best way to restore prosperity, protect the environment, and strengthen security is to rebuild the partnership we walked away from.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Rejoining the EU would mean frictionless trade for British manufacturers and farmers, renewed freedom of movement for students and young workers, and deeper cooperation on climate, defence, and innovation.\n<\/p>\n
\n “On this anniversary, I call on the government to show the courage to initiate talks on what re-entry to the EU would involve.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This comes on the ninth anniversary of the Brexit referendum.
