brexit vote: The multi-billion pound fund could then be used to address poor infrastructure, skills training and connectivity in areas that often have the greatest concerns about EU migration which may have prompted significant leave votes, according to The Guardian. Its director, Peter Starkings, said the fund would address the problems of inequality that had prompted the Brexit vote but which leaving the EU would not solve. The report by Global Future, backed by Labour MPs including Yvette Cooper and Lisa Nandy, suggests the fund could be paid for by the Treasury by reversing planned cuts to corporation tax. Leavers voted for Brexit because they felt that Britain wasn't working for them, he said. We believe the migration dividend fund could be central to that agenda and our proposals are backed by the public, including two thirds of leavers and 70% of remainers. Remainers need to take that seriously and produce a plan for real reform if they are going to change any minds.
