Helen Morgan, the MP for Shropshire, has kicked off a fresh campaign aimed at bolstering local businesses affected by the ongoing trade challenges, particularly focusing on the so-called 'Trump tariffs'. These tariffs, implemented by US President Donald Trump, have left many UK companies feeling the pinch, especially in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors.

The campaign, titled ‘Buy Shropshire, Back Britain’, aims to encourage Shropshire residents to spend their money locally. By promoting the idea of supporting businesses in their communities, Morgan hopes to uplift the economy of Shropshire in these challenging times. The essence of this campaign is simple but powerful: when Shropshire locals buy from local businesses, they not only help their neighbours but also contribute to the overall strength of the British economy.

Morgan's initiative comes at a critical juncture. With tariffs being a significant hurdle for exports, many Shropshire businesses are struggling to adapt. By launching ‘Buy Shropshire, Back Britain’, Morgan hopes to create a sense of community among shoppers. “We all need to play our part in supporting our fantastic local businesses and high street shops at this difficult time.” she said.

The Shropshire Chamber of Commerce has expressed its full backing for the campaign, noting that strengthening local businesses is essential for economic recovery. The chamber is continually looking for ways to promote awareness of local products and services that can really make a difference to the community.

In essence, ‘Buy Shropshire, Back Britain’ is more than just a slogan; it’s a call to action. Morgan’s campaign invites everyone in Shropshire to take pride in their locality. It’s a step towards ensuring that Shropshire businesses can survive and thrive in the face of international challenges, including tariffs. So, when you buy Shropshire, you indeed back Britain.
