Kate Hoey reminded of Brexit comments as Irish economy soars

The former MP for Vauxhall suggested an Irexit would soon be on the cards after the UK left the EU. How wrong she was!

Brexiteer Kate Hoey has been reminded of comments she made in 2019 about the possibility of an ‘Irexit’ as the country’s economy soars.

Estimates suggest Ireland’s economy will grow by 4.9 per cent this year, buoyed by its competitive position at the westernmost corner of the European Union.

The UK economy, meanwhile, has flatlined and is projected to be firmly at the bottom in the G7 group of advanced economies this year – including sanctions-hit Russia.

In 2019, Hoey said there is a “growing Irexit group” that is “gaining a lot of support”.

She added: “I’m absolutely confident – and I get shouted down by some people in Ireland for saying this – but long term, when we get out of the EU,  the Irish Republic is quite likely to have this similar situation which we have.”

Not sure about that, Kate!

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.
