Time to take advantage! Rallying cry as massive Brexit gains laid bare in new report

The report highlights achievements of the UK across sectors, ranging from lawmaking, to the movement of EU criminals, and even to enabling businesses to print the Crown on pint glasses. The key benefits can be broken down into immigration, law and the economy.

Firstly, the report highlights the ability for the UK to better control migration into the country.

The end of EU freedom of movement has enabled the country to introduce a points based immigration system, which requires migrants to meet more stringent requirements in order to be granted access to the UK.

This includes attracting more skilled workers, as well as including an English language requirement.

As a further extension of this, it has become tougher for EU criminals to enter the UK, states the report.

Following Brexit, EU nationals who have been sentenced to a year or more in jail will now be refused entry to Britain.

Previously, some foreign criminals would have been allowed in under EU free movement. However, EU criminals who are not protected in the Withdrawal Agreement have now been brought in line with other foreign criminals.

The report also highlights the end of preferential treatment of EU migrants over non-EU migrants, ensuring that “wherever people are born, those who choose to make the UK their home pay into the system for a reasonable period of time before they can access the benefits of it.”

Sovereignty over UK law also featured heavily in the report, which states that Brexit has allowed the UK to restore democratic control over its lawmaking.

The power to make and scrutinise UK laws that apply to it has been given “back to our Parliament and the devolved Parliaments so that they are now made in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London, not Brussels.”

Furthermore, the UK Supreme Court has been made the final arbiter of the law that applies in the UK.

The report states: “UK judges, sitting in UK courts, now determine the law of the land in the UK, with judgements issued in English, not French, and accessible to those who speak Welsh.”

On the day of the document’s release, charity worker Nick Buckley MBE said: “Brexit was achieved two years ago today. Covid then put a spanner in the works.

“It is time now to ensure we take advantage of all the opportunities of being an independent sovereign country.

“Let’s work hard to be an amazing country.”

The economy has also already seen some of the benefits of Brexit.

The UK has been able to set its own tariff regime, making it more attractive to trade deals outside of the EU single market.

The report states that the UK has also given UK regulators the ability to make its own decisions about globally significant mergers.

These decisions will now be made by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority, enabling it to block or remedy mergers it believes will harm UK consumers.

Finally, some of the Brexit gains celebrated by the report are focused on restoring national icons.

One such icon is the blue British passports. All new British passports are now blue, a return to the original appearance from 1921.

The carbon footprint from their manufacture has also been reduced to net zero.

Additionally, businesses will now be able to use a crown stamp symbol on pint glasses – which comes just in time for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
