Brexit is a ‘significant long-term cause of the UK economic crisis’, SNP claims

The SNP’s Westminster leader has called on the Prime Minister to “admit that Brexit is a significant long-term cause of the UK economic crisis”. Ian Blackford branded the UK’s departure from the European Union the “elephant in the room that neither the Tories or Labour are willing to confront”. Rishi Sunak told MPs in the Commons he was “proud to support Brexit” and respected “the result of referendums”. Raising the issue during Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Blackford said: “It is such a sad sight to watch this Prime Minister ram through a Bill that would rip up 4,000 pieces of European law - laws that protect workers’ rights, food standards and environmental protections."
