Some of these areas have gotten EU funding which will then be gone. (ironically, developing regions funding was a tory idea!)
There was funding available for flood defense/food banks, Cameron turned it down. It would not surprise me if there are more pots that can be accessed if the UK would only...ask. So Remain can definitely point that out, though some people just shrugged when the nice new business park paid for with EU money was mentioned. No idea what to do there...
Why is nobody talking about rich leave voters btw? And well off pensioners? It is always the "left behind" that are seen as the leave causers... :)

I'm not saying the reasons aren't there, just that the message is no where to be seen. Actually the labour party (shock!) has loads of great policy ideas too, but they seldom get any press.
We need to move forward, not back, whether that is back to the UK pre-brexit vote, or back 60 years to post war rationing is a redundant argument. -

This. Haven't loads of studies confirmed that lots of leavers are actually pretty well off and the stereotype of poor vote leave, wealthy vote remain isn't accurate?

There's little said about how the 'remain' side intends to placate the unhappy 50% of the country that voted leave too, there is still no positive persuasion of how the EU can help those in the UK that feel they're being left behind. Just a return to a status quo that was great for some, but obviously not for the others.
