King Charles delivers the Labour Government's first King's Speech, setting out their priorities for the months ahead.
Clearly outlined in the King's Speech was the new Labour Government's desire to reset our relationship with our European partners, and to work to improve the UK's trade and investment relationship with the European Union.
Having helped to secure a new Government, Best for Britain's focus is now to work with the new Government to help fix the problems that Britain faces after Brexit, and improve the UK’s relationship with the EU.
Specifically, Best for Britain is campaigning for the 114 recommendations published by the cross party UK Trade and Business Commission last year which were informed by more than 80 hrs of live testimony featuring 234 witnesses and written evidence from more than 200 organisations.
Naomi Smith, CEO of Best for Britain said,
“The increasing threat from Russia to our east, coupled with the growing likelihood of a protectionist and NATO-sceptic US administration to our west, means Britain risks becoming economically and diplomatically adrift.
“After years lost to needless and self-destructive europhobia, it is encouraging that the new Government has underlined its intent to deepen ties with our closest neighbours and allies.”
