Border Communities Against Brexit

Border Communities Against Brexit Border Communities Against Brexit are Border Communities in Ireland saying, No to any type of Borders in Ireland again.

We in Border Communities Against Brexit are a group of people from all sectors – business, community, farming - as well as individuals who have come together out of concern that the North’s remain vote will not be respected. We are really worried about the devastating impact that Brexit will have in this region and we want to make sure our voices are heard when decisions are being taken in Dublin,

London and Brussels. We are looking for people from all communities and sectors who agree with us on this to become involved with us in this campaign. If Brexit goes ahead it will be the ordinary people in our communities who will pay the price – through jobs losses, loss of farm incomes (CAP accounts for 80% of farm income in the North), barriers to our kids third level education and the loss of vital EU Peace funding (£1 billion over the last decade). A new EU frontier, stretching from Dundalk to Derry, is not something we can accept. We know from experience that a hard border in Ireland would create real hardship particularly for people in this region who cross the border on a daily basis. We could very well be facing customs checkpoints, traffic delays and the closure of local border roads. This would be a huge step backwards for our communities. People pressure can be part of forcing the British and Irish Governments to respect the North’s remain vote.

Musicians are being “squeezed out” and “marginalised” from their industry by AI, researchers have said.
A study from Queen’s University Belfast warns that consumers and musicians are being “shortchanged” because of lack of controls over the technology.

This was a proposal put forward by Robert Jenrick that a future Reform government would target savings by denying benefit payments to EU nationals , regardless of not the contents of the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement, which entitles them to equal treatment as British citizens (reciprocated across the EU for British citizens resident there).
Doing this without agreement with the EU would be a breach of UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement.
British citizens may then be forced by financial pressure to return to UK, only to find that as non-residents they are denied benefits in UK as well.

🚨 Calling Nissan’s position a “recovery from Brexit” is like declaring that a patient on life support has recovered.

Sunderland produced 507,000 cars in 2016 and just 273,000 in 2025. It is operating at barely half capacity, has received £162 million in government support and may need China’s Chery to fill its production lines.

That is survival—not recovery.

Now its survival depends on:

👉persuading the EU to relax rules of origin;
👉gaining access to “made in EU” industrial support;
👉and possibly manufacturing cars for China’s partly state-owned Chery.

This post-Brexit sovereignty translates as a great British plant trapped outside its principal market and becoming dependent on Chinese business to use the capacity Brexit helped hollow out.

As pointed out in the article,
“Brexit keeps bringing up these uncertainties. The world is changing, and the EU responds to that, and that affects the UK.”

Britain now receives EU industrial policy as an external shock rather than helping to shape it.

Burnham weakening the electric-vehicle mandate may postpone difficult decisions, but it cannot resolve the fundamental problem. Sunderland needs inclusion in Europe’s automotive and battery ecosystem. Without a much deeper Single Market settlement, levelling up remains a subsidy for surviving the damage rather than a strategy for growth.
