Justin Reflects On The EU Referendum Result

Whilst I wasn’t active in the campaign other than setting out my personal reasons for voting in both the Swindon Advertiser and Swindon Link, I made it clear before the count that I would respect the decision either way.

Many residents have asked me to supply updates on what are the current thoughts and plans, so I thought it would be helpful to provide links to articles / statements from Boris Johnson, The Chancellor, The PM and a summary of how thankfully the markets have bounced back today showing signs of stability.

The PM’s statement:

Boris Johnson’s article:

The Chancellor’s statement:

Also, understandably there has been a real focus on how the markets would act.  I am reassured that the markets have settled, in no small part because we are both still a strong economy (which the strongest economic growth of any major economy), but also as per the statements above we won’t see immediate changes.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36648630

We will reflect and negotiate in a calm, measured way.

I will happily update you further on this important issue.  I would also be very happy to meet any residents to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact my office if that is of interest.
