Why
Tories think fifth anniversary of Brexit should be celebrated
Since only
around one person in 10 thinks Brexit has been a success, it is worth recording
why the Conservative party says the fifth anniversary is worth celebrating.
This is what the party said in the press notice sent out yesterday afternoon by
Priti Patel. (See 9.23am.)
Five
years ago today, Boris Johnson and the Conservative party delivered on the
results of the Brexit referendum and secured our departure from the European
Union – delivering on the clear democratic will of the country.
Since
then, our country – standing on its own two feet as a sovereign nation – has
been able to achieve so much.
This has
included 73 trade deals with countries and the EU, including the Comprehensive
and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, boosting British
businesses and lowering prices for consumers.
It has
also led to the UK ending the supremacy of EU law, putting parliament in
control of UK laws, and leading to the reform or revocation of almost 2,500
pieces of arbitrary or burdensome EU law.
Outside
the EU, and free of their regulations, we have been able to deliver more
competitive tax policies, such as cutting VAT on certain products, reduce and
simplify tariffs, and make the City more competitive with the Edinburgh
Reforms.
The UK
was also able to take control of its waters and protect our fisherman as an
independent coastal state.
