Leave Means Leave is a lobby group set up in the wake of the EU referendum to campaign for a 'hard' Brexit, including leaving the European single market and ending free movement.

Its slogan is 'the campaign for a clean Brexit'. Among its supporters are Conservative peer Nigel Lawson, and Tory MPs Jacob Rees-Mogg and John Redwood.

Leave Means Leave and its ilk have been described as 'the British equivalent of America’s National Rifle Association': they are well funded; deeply entrenched in their respective countries’ establishments; and wield enormous influence, despite their views being minority ones; and both view anything that smacks of compromise as the thin end of the wedge.[1]

Activities

Spokespeople for Leave Means Leave are regularly quoted in teh British press.

It also produced a report in September 2017 New Model Economy For A Post-Brexit Britain, co-published with Labour Leave and Economists for Free Trade.
