Gosport split on Brexit six years after UK exit

On 31 January 2026, GB News filmed a report in Gosport, Hampshire, to mark the six‑year anniversary of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. The town, which voted over‑majority to leave in the 2016 referendum, remains split. Interviewees quoted in the piece ranged from complacent residents—some shrugging off the repercussions—to those still feeling the economic and social fallout. A popular quote, 'It doesn’t make a difference to me,' captured the apathy of a segment of the community. The segment, presented by journalist Susanna Siddell, highlighted that while the national momentum has faded, local divisions over Brexit are still pronounced, underscoring the lingering impact of the 2016 decision.
