Brexit Loss of GDP Predictions
Even since before the referendum on EU membership in 2016, there have been forecasts of doom laid out frequently to the British people, trying to convince them to think differently or post-2016 to think again. Many of these modern-day soothsayers have relied on inaccurate repetition and misunderstanding, to fool the British public into thinking fiction is fact. Here the Britain Unbound team present a "cut-out-and-keep" summary of the more common claims made by those who swear the sky will fall on our heads: their sources, their methodology and – most importantly – their flaws
The UK-EU Reset Negotiations
The notion of having a strong and mutually beneficial relationship with our neighbours in the EU is a perfectly reasonable aspiration, and one that polling has consistently shown is popular with the British voter. However the approach of the current Labour government is not one of a mutually beneficial partnership, but of increasing servitude. In the negotiations, speeches, press releases and published documentation since July of 2024, the UK government led by Sir Keir Starmer has over time increased the range of policy areas within the remit of the EU reset negotiations, seemingly in response to EU demands to increase sacrifices purely desired by EU member states. This explainer will walk you through what is currently on the table, as well as what is really at stake.
Parliamentary Democracy
It is a fundamental principle of British Parliamentary Democracy, that Parliament is the supreme legal authority - and its members are chosen routinely through free and fair elections. Our government remains answerable to Parliament, whose members are in turn answerable to those who elected them, the British people. Britain Unbound wholly supports the continued implementation and championing of the core principles of our democracy, and uses the above as the foundation and the lens through which it evaluates all positions on the topics of the day.
