Disunited Kingdom: Why ‘Brexit’ endangers Britain’s poorer regions

A British exit from the EU most imperils the UK’s poorest regions, and could make the country’s regional inequality worse.

If the UK left the EU, which regions would suffer most? Would it damage Britain’s poorer regions more than richer ones, making regional inequality worse? And how easy would it be for Britain to sign a free trade agreement with the EU that would minimise the regional economic impact? This policy brief is an attempt to answer these questions.
