To so many of us, Europe is more than a place, it’s a part of who we are. Hear what the public had to say when we went out and asked them what Europe means to them.

Right now, Donald Trump is at a lavish banquet at Windsor Castle, while in Gaza a genocide is unfolding.
He alone can stop the assault on Gaza City, end the aid blockade and secure the release of hostages - Keir Starmer must make that clear to him before this visit ends.

The Liberal Democrats are now the second largest party of local government, and we’re on track to overtake the Conservatives at the next general election.
Across the country, voters have chosen our community politics over the Conservatives’ division and disdain.
