The economic fears and insecurities that led to Brexit are likely to be compounded when the UK leaves the union, a UN investigation has found.

The UN’s Rapporteur into Extreme Poverty and Human Rights in the UK, Philip Aston, said no matter what outcome Brexit achieves, other than the Utopian one which is most unlikely to happen,  Britain will be left worse off economically.

There’s going to be a fall in GDP, there’s going to be a fall in tax revenues, and that is likely to impact the worst off in society the most.

Aston said: “The problem is that there has been almost no discussion about what impact that’s going to have on low-income groups.

“They will, if present policies are maintained, bear the brunt of the economic fallout from Brexit”.

The UN’s report noted that the impact of Brexit on people in poverty is an afterthought to the government, which will be dealt with through manipulations of fiscal policy after the event, if at all.

It added: “People feel their homes, jobs, and communities are at risk.  Ironically, it was these very fears and insecurity that contributed significantly to the Brexit vote.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
