Committed to championing Sheffield Hallam’s voice, I focus on addressing local and global challenges.

Let’s enhance our EU relationship. 

Acceptance is growing that Brexit is a source of considerable harm to the UK.

​

Very few within the other mainstream parties are talking about the major factor which affects every other issue affecting the UK today. Cost of living is directly affected by trade. To defend our nation we need collaboration with our neighbours. And immigration can only be controlled through a combined effort with other nations. These three major factors can only be properly addressed through dialogue and co-operation with the European Union. 

​

Even among supporters of leaving who remain committed to their cause, there is recognition of serious problems connected to this project. The most malign outcomes to have manifested themselves include:

• The loss for the UK population of the numerous rights and advantages that came with European citizenship.

• Compromising of the international credibility and external influence of the UK, and increasing isolation from long-term allies.

• Domestic political disruption and the rise of populist tendencies, including at UK governmental level.

• Destabilisation in the UK constitution.

• Increased tension and uncertainty for Northern Ireland and the Peace Process.

• The introduction of barriers to trade in goods and services with the EU, including increased regulatory burdens for business;

• Restricting the ability of the UK to respond to various economic challenges such as inflation and labour shortages.

• Challenges for the UK financial; creative; research; agricultural; fishing and other sectors.
