The negative economic impact of Brexit ... for residents of Scotland.

More details

• As Scotland exits the UK,  the potential impacts for Scotland, especially the most vulnerable individuals in society, could be devastating.

• This is occurring despite a majority of the electorate in Scotland (62%) voting to remain in the EU. As pro-EU sentiment is prominent in Scotland, political instability is likely to be generated in the UK as a result of Brexit.

• The Scottish Parliament has recognised the potential damage of Brexit on its citizens and has refused to give consent to the UK Government’s Withdrawal Agreement Bill.
