Today's Prime Minister’s speech reminds us that we are still living with the impact of leaving the European Union.
During the General Election, the European Movement made it clear that you cannot deliver the promised economic growth and wealth creation, and we can’t build the new hospitals, schools and homes we need without addressing the fact that Brexit isn’t working.

Richard Kilpatrick, Campaign Manager at European Movement UK, said:
"A speech that doesn't mention the damage of Brexit is a speech that ignores the elephant in the room.
“If this Government is serious about “fixing the foundations” it must also fix our relationship with Europe.
“In the interest of the future of our nation and the spirit of honesty and transparency, we call on Keir Starmer to accept our call for an independent, forward-thinking inquiry into our future relationship with Europe so that we can fix the damage of the last 8 years and deliver the economic prosperity we desperately need."
