London MPs, including Deirdre Costigan, Tulip Siddiq, and Ben Coleman, are strongly criticizing the Brexit process. They argue that their constituents were misled by false claims such as the £350 million a week for the NHS, which never materialized, and exaggerated promises about reducing immigration, which instead tripled post-Brexit. Labour MP Costigan specifically noted that many of her constituents voted to leave the EU due to misinformation. Siddiq highlighted severe economic impacts on local businesses in Ealing Southall, like Neil Lerner’s kitchen design business, which closed after 30 years due to reduced sales caused by Brexit. Additionally, a local bakery reported paperwork doubling before closing because of Brexit bureaucracy. Furthermore, John Atkins, who ran a flower stall near the Royal Free hospital for almost 40 years, pointed out that the cost of tulips has increased by 50% since 2020 due to post-Brexit regulations.
