Extend the Brexit transition period.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The combination of a new, more transmissible strain of Covid-19, the imminent prospect of a no-deal Brexit, and border closures, have given rise to a set of circumstances that necessitates asking the EU for an extension to the transition period.

Our country is facing a ‘perfect storm’ of circumstances that will have a significant impact on our economy, the supply of fresh food, medicines and other goods, and the health and well-being of our citizens. A new strain of Covid-19 running rampant across the SE of the UK, border closures with many of our biggest trading partners and the prospect of a no-deal Brexit could have significant and lasting effects on the UK. The transition period should be extended.
