The Brexit vote has been likened to “turkeys voting for Christmas” after it was revealed the hardest hit areas were the ones most likely to vote for it.

A leaked government study detailing economic forecasts of how regions will fare over the next 15 years revealed most regions will be worse off after Britain leaves the EU, but some will fare worse than others.

Ironically, the West Midlands and the North East, which voted overwhelmingly to leave the EU, are set to loose out the most regardless of how the negotiations play out.

London, which voted heavily to remain, is expected to have the least negative impact.

You didn’t vote for this.

Nobody offered this, so you can’t possibly have voted for it.

So no, this ISN’T democracy; you’re wrong. You’re being forced to accept something you didn’t vote for and never would.

Labour’s shadow Brexit minister Paul Blomfield has said: “These figures are further evidence of why the Tories must rethink their reckless approach to the Brexit negotiations.

“The final Brexit deal with the EU must work for every region and nation of the UK, protecting people’s jobs and local economies.

“That is why Labour has been clear from the outset that the Government should seek a deal that retains the economic benefits of our current membership with the EU.

“Options for achieving that should not have been swept off the negotiating table, including being in a customs union with our largest trading partner.”

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.
