Now negotiations are suspended, yet the UK government says it doesn't want to extend the Brexit transition period beyond 31 December. A No Deal Brexit in January 2021, combined with the already huge economic and social dislocation from the epidemic, would be disastrous for the economy, living standards and rights. We must demand the transition period is significantly extended so we can avoid this catastrophe, concentrate on dealing with the virus and then revisit the issue of Brexit. • This petition was initiated by Labour for a Socialist Europe, but if you agree please sign whether you are a Labour-supporter or not - and indeed, whatever your wider views on Brexit. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/covid-cant-wait-brexit-can-extend-the-brexit-transition-period
