The Bruges Group director Robert Oulds insisted the UK had the capability to become an international success after fulfiling Brexit. During an interview with Express.co.uk, Mr Oulds claimed after cutting ties with the EU, Britian would be free to implement its own tax strategies. He said the EU was against low corporation tax as this had the potential to undermine the economies of France and Germany.

However, if Britain was to utilise this opportunity, the UK could see a massive surge in international investment for companies who want a foothold in Europe, according to Mr Oulds.

He also noted this will frustrate the EU as this will make the UK a viable alternative to European member states.

Mr Oulds said: "The European Union does not like that, they do not like low corporation tax and they don't like tax competition.

"They believe it is harmful, what they mean by that is that it is undermining countries like Germany and France which have higher corporation tax.

"They don't like other countries competing with them even if the country has decided itself."

Mr Oulds revealed how the UK can ensure it prospers once no longer shackled by the restraints of the European Union.

He said: "If Britain runs a good tax policy and takes advantage of the benefits that exist in the UK Britain will succeed.

"We will need to utilise the UK's biggest asset which is the British people and the skills, energy, creativity and drive the people have.

"This is actually the best way of getting the economy moving when we fully come out of this coronavirus crisis.

The EU need to respond now.

rumour is frost has cancelled next weeks meetings

I can only hope that Boris is listening.
The absence of any clear resolution to his 'October 15th' promise suggests that he hasn't the balls to do what he has promised.

He is no Maggie Thatcher, that's quite clear.

The Bruges Group is a think-tank which holds meetings and produces research on issues relating to Britain’s membership of the European Union. Our Founder President was the Rt Hon. the Baroness Margaret Thatcher.

Through its work the Bruges Group spearheads the intellectual battle against European integration, EU federalism, centralisation and enlargement. The Bruges Group promotes the positive alternatives to membership of the European Union and the need to restore British sovereignty and democracy. The Bruges Group campaigned for Brexit, advocating that Britain should vote to leave the European Union in the EU referendum.
