Rejoining the Single Market and Customs Union would reconnect Britain with the most significant marketplace it has ever been part of, one that once powered jobs, growth and investment across the country.

Last year saw a record amount of post-Brexit Irish passport applications in the UK last year, with almost a quarter of a million people living in the UK applying. It's clear that the public want freedom of movement - it's time for the Government to take action.

Businesses across the UK have felt the weight of Brexit in their daily operations, with new layers of red tape touching every stage of production, trade and recruitment. What were once straightforward processes have become slower and more expensive, leaving firms with less time and fewer resources.

By the end of 2026, tens of thousands of young people could have their freedom of movement restored, and experience invaluable opportunities to study, work, and experience life across Europe.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Former Foreign Secretary recognises that our future lies with our European Neighbours. Now, it's time to turn those words into action.

Brexit is holding back one of the UK’s strongest creative exports, with musicians paying the price for Brexit through cancelled tours and lost work. We are calling for a reciprocated agreement and a review of the restrictions on how many days an artist and support workers can work in the EU.

The UK does not need to look across the Atlantic for protection when our closest neighbours stand prepared to defend the same values and security. Our future and security lie with Europe.

Happy International Volunteers Day! 🌍❤️

At European Movement UK we are incredibly grateful for the work of our volunteers, from elected representatives on the council, to members of local groups throughout the UK.

Labour keep admitting that Brexit was a disaster, but they are failing to act on reversing it. Recognition is not enough: we need action.

Spotify Wrapped, but the only thing on repeat for the Music Industry after Brexit is paperwork and red tape 🎶

Joe Meighan from European Movement UK shares why the UK must now double down on rebuilding cooperation with Europe ➡️
Are we safe without SAFE?
The breakdown in talks over the UK’s participation in the EU’s €150bn SAFE defence loans scheme is a sobering reminder of both the fragility and the necessity of rebuilding a cooperative relationship...

The chemical industry is the second-largest manufacturing industry in the UK. Rejoining the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) would simplify regulation and improve long-term stability for the sector.

Spotify wrapped is out, but the music industry is still wrapped in Brexit bureaucracy. We must rejoin the Single Market and Creative Europe.
December 3, 2025 at 2:08 PM
We've seen the mess that Brexit has caused, and a decade from the referendum, we're still paying the price. We must restore our relationship with Europe urgently.
Logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit
The political and economic case for the party to campaign in 2028-29 for a return to the single market is overwhelming

Brexit means we are losing out on some of the biggest talent in the world, and some of the UK's biggest talent are emigrating to Europe. We must restore freedom of movement.

'In these times we would not take control by turning inward. We would surrender it'. We couldn't agree more.

Joining Erasmus+ is essential for restoring young people's freedom, allowing them to study, work, and explore different cultures across Europe. This is a positive step.

Brexit has increased costs, increased red tape, and slowed employment growth in the music industry. People from across the industry have been affected, from artists and crew unable to tour, to musicians and DJs who are losing out on bookings.

Erasmus+ show what happens when opportunity is made accessible rather than exclusive. Rejoining the programme would change lives and strengthen the diverse future of European innovation.

Even Starmer has acknowledged that we need to move closer to the EU, but his Government have offered no serious plan to make this happen. If we want to boost trade, we must rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.

Human rights law exists to protect people when power fails them. Walking away from that protection would leave the most vulnerable exposed.
