Theresa May’s proposed Withdrawal Agreement has tonight been soundly defeated in the House of Commons.

The MU continues to oppose any Brexit which removes freedom of movement for musicians, and so we welcome the result of this vote.

We will speak to MPs and other decision makers over the coming days in order to influence the best possible outcome for our members and we will post updates when available.
