Money and cost of living

What they say Source: Manifesto

Rejoin EU says EU membership would restore EU consumer protections such as the ban on mobile-phone roaming charges and is likely to remove Brexit-related taxes and costs on items sent between the EU and UK.

In their exact words Source: Manifesto

In consumer affairs, EU membership would allow consumers to benefit once again from European legislation protecting consumer rights and providing benefits such as the EU’s ban on mobile-phone roaming charges.

Healthcare and social care

What they say Source: Manifesto

Rejoin EU says restoring EU membership would return the UK to the European Health Insurance Card scheme and the European Medicines Agency.

In their exact words Source: Manifesto

Restoring EU membership would allow the UK to participate once again in the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) scheme, allowing Britons to benefit from healthcare in EU member states on the same terms as the home nationals of those countries and vice versa. Renewed participation in the European Medicines Agency would also likely improve medicine availability by simplifying and speeding up approvals of new drugs.
