POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS.

The UK has left the European Union and entered a holding pattern during which most EU law remains in place. But Brexit is still a big upheaval for many of us. It has dominated the scene for four years and all of us will be affected by it in some way.

A recent study by the London School of Economics found that subjective well-being among those with a favourable view of the EU has suffered since the referendum while an initial “feel good” bounce among those less well disposed to it has not been sustained. There is also evidence that the incidence of hate crimes against EU27 nationals and ethnic minorities has increased since 2016.

The European Parliament put citizens’ rights at the core of its demands for signing off the Withdrawal Agreement in January and it will continue to monitor commitments made to protect their interests. Its Liaison Office in the UK is staging an event in Liverpool to look at the psychological impact the UK’s departure is having on both Britons and EU27 nationals resident here.

So how do people on Merseyside feel about Brexit and the future relationship between the EU and UK? Join us to hear an expert panel of politicians, academics and clinicians, and make your voice heard.
