Children from Heber Primary School in East Dulwich quiz Prime Minister Boris Johnson over Brexit

Two children from Heber Primary School in East Dulwich attended a special lobby with the Prime Minister at No10 Downing Street last week, to ask questions about what Brexit will mean for them.

Children’s newspaper First News asked the pupils and 20 other eight to 14-year-olds from around the country to quiz him.

First News ran its own children’s EU referendum in 2016, with 74 per cent of those voting opted to remain.

Brexit was cited as being one of the children’s biggest concerns, with only environmental issues coming higher.

Pupil Isaac said: “I’m a Brexit supporter so I think it will be a good day to make some new changes in our society. It will be good to move on from Brexit.

“I felt very nervous to meet the Prime Minister but I really enjoyed it. Some of the questions he answered pretty precisely but maybe not all of them.”

Heli said: “I’m not a big fan of Brexit and never wanted it to happen, but since it is already happening, we need embrace it and make it work.

“I was flabbergasted when I met the Prime Minister. He answered the questions well for children to understand.”

Mr Johnson said: “Opportunities for young people will be immense, thinking of ourselves as people who can engage with the whole world in a new way.”
