Change Britain was apressure group in the United Kingdom set up in 2016 by leaders of theVote Leave campaign following the2016 Referendum, in which 51.9% of participating voters voted in favour of leaving theEuropean Union.
Change Britain was founded as a successor to theVote Leave campaign, with support from many of its key figures, includingLabour MPGisela Stuart (Chair) andConservativeBoris Johnson.[1] Its stated aim was "to campaign for a Brexit which takes back control of our laws, borders, money and trade".[2]
The group attracted criticism for seemingly dropping Vote Leave's pledge to increase spending on theNational Health Service (NHS),[3][4] butGisela Stuart, chair of both organisations, reaffirmed this pledge in a speech to theHouse of Commons in 2017.[5]
Boris Johnson was electedPrime Minister in July 2019 and he later appointed Gisela Stuart to theHouse of Lords in September 2020. The group dissolved as of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union on 31 January 2020.
