The Labour Party has pointed to Brexit as a key factor behind the United Kingdom’s current economic difficulties. In their assessment of the national budget, party representatives argue that the decision to leave the European Union has significantly disrupted trade, reduced foreign investment, and strained public finances. They cite data showing slower GDP growth since the 2016 referendum and emphasize that post-exit regulatory misalignments have increased costs for businesses. Labour leaders maintain that restoring economic stability will require strategic policy shifts, including stronger international trade partnerships and domestic investment initiatives. While acknowledging broader global pressures, they assert that leaving the EU amplified existing vulnerabilities. The party is calling for targeted reforms to mitigate long-term damage caused by the withdrawal.
