Storbritannien: Brexit ett faktum, vilka är konsekvenserna? (2016-06-24)

Despite the promise leaving the EU would help the UK control its borders, most people surveyed said Brexit had hampered the ability to control immigration

Vote Leave, the official party of the Brexit campaign, promised voters that leaving the EU would leave the UK in charge of its own borders, giving the country the choice on who enters without being overuled by European judges.

It also said there would be more jobs through new trade deals struck with countries such as Australia and Brazil, and that an exit would save the country £350 million a week, which could be spent in schools and the NHS.

However, in November this year, the NHS recorded its highest number of people on waiting lists, while inflation caused rising prices in the shops as food banks reported giving out a record number of emergency parcels over the past six months.

Rishi Sunak has pledged to “max out” the UK’s oil and gas reserves as he revealed a new round of intensive North Sea drilling, which experts said could be catastrophic for the climate.

Unveiling a plan to authorise more than 100 new North Sea licences on a visit to north-east Scotland, the prime minister also indicated he would approve drilling at the UK’s largest untapped reserves in the Rosebank field, which hold 500m barrels of oil.

Farmers say there will be further French-style blockades following a slow tractor protest at Dover against low supermarket prices and cheap food imports from post-Brexit trade deals.
