NEW ANALYSIS: BORIS JOHNSON’S BREXIT DEAL WOULD LEAVE ALMOND VALLEY RESIDENTS £1,600 WORSE OFF

New analysis from the Scottish Government has found that Boris Johnson’s revised Brexit deal would leave people in the Almond Valley the equivalent of £1,600 a person worse off by 2030.

The analysis also found that Scotland’s GDP would fall by around £9 billion compared to projections if we stayed in the EU.

Commenting,  Angela Constance MSP said - 

“Scotland didn’t vote for Brexit, but the Tories at Westminster are hell bent on dragging Scotland out of the EU against our will.

“Today’s analysis has made clear that any form of Brexit will inflict major harm on Scotland’s economy – costing hard working families right here in my constituency £1,600 per person.

“We can’t let Boris Johnson cut us off from the world, putting thousands of jobs at stake in the process. It’s time for action not words – let’s use this election to send Westminster a message that we’ve had enough.
