Cornwall's MPs on ten years of Brexit: Poorer, weaker and disastrous

Cornwall’s MPs mark 10 years since the Brexit vote by assessing whether leaving the EU delivered benefits for the county’s communities, businesses and rural industries. The article recalls Boris Johnson’s May 11, 2016 stop in Truro, when Cornwall voted 56.5% to leave and only Truro and Falmouth voted to remain, with South East Cornwall seeing around 58% support for leaving. MPs argue there was a mandate to leave while calling for a clearer review of what has worked and what has not. Anna Gelderd highlights Brexit-related opportunities alongside potential value in policies closer to the EU. She also points to national funding, including a £30 million Kernow Industrial Growth Fund, aimed at competitive industries.
