Our group was founded after the referendum in 2016 and is still campaigning for the UK to be an active part of the EU. We're now part of the European Movement.
European Movement urges public to encourage MPs to attend debate on UK rejoining the EU.

Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity are unconditional.

Our priority must now be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees.

In any negotiation, Europe must have a central role.

No other policy proposal or infrastructure investment has the potential to move the economic dial on this scale in this timeframe.

In monetary terms, if used 1-for-1, the proceeds could fund increases to the NHS capital budget for 2 yrs.

Enough of empty Brexit rhetoric. Let's fund our NHS instead.
🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨

Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%.

Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit.

Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis.

And all within Starmer's red lines.

Calling out the Stronger In campaign for being too monolithic and top-down - and calling for backing of pro-European grassroots initiatives.

Years later, I'm proud of the pro-European grassroots community that we've built. And I'm fully confident in our direction.

The extortionate cost of visas in the UK aren't just an "act of national self-harm", it is a constant source of individual harm on those put through the system. Among some of the highest in the world, UK visa costs drive people into poverty, and destroy lives.

🔥 “A stunning three out of four of the 18 to 25-year-olds, who mostly did not have a chance to vote in the referendum, think leaving was a mistake.”
Most people think leaving the EU was a mistake - but don't expect politicians to reopen the Brexit question
Five years on, even many of those who still champion Brexit, including Nigel Farage, concede that it has "failed" - so why are the main parties afraid to tell voters they got it wrong?
