Why are UK firms struggling in Europe? It's not a language barrier; it's #Brexit. In today's @yorkshirepost.co.uk, Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social highlights FSB data: 34% of SME exporters expect to halt EU trade entirely. Will #AndyBurnham deliver an EU reset? 👇 #RejoinEU #Yorkshire #UKEconomy

Letter headed "Barriers for businesses are structural", which appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 22 July 2026.
