“Dr @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social , chairman of the European Movement UK, told The Independent: “This is welcome news. We need to start pulling this country out of the no-growth quagmire of Brexit and start giving people hope for a better, brighter future.”” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Great to talk about all things environmental 💚 with Caroline Lucas at London School of Economics with thanks to Nicola Hawkins!

On the first of 2 rail replacements to London: it's so early the revellers in the Toon are still up partying 🥳😅 Wish me luck!

The new Chair of Leeds for Europe @leedsblue67.bsky.social on our street stall today talking about the campaign to Rejoin Erasmus+ www.europeanmovement.co.uk/this_is_eras...

It has been a honour to lead @leedseurope.bsky.social for the last 8 years, having been a founding member of this wonderful group. I am delighted now to have passed the baton to a worthy successor, Leeds for Europe’s new Chair, @leedsblue67.bsky.social. I will continue as a supportive member!

🔥 This. “Labour cannot simply manage the status quo. To defeat Mr Farage’s sham politics, it must offer more than technocratic governance. Without a compelling vision, including one for Britain’s place in Europe, it risks being outflanked” Perfectly put in @theguardian.com

An excellent point made in today's @chroniclelive.co.uk 👏

This year is the bicentenary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway

Tell it like it is… You can still add to the poll www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Another letter in the @chroniclelive.co.uk today and another opportunity to sign the Rejoin petition :) :- bit.ly/RejoinPetition

From our old friend Greg Stone about Bregret in the region. www.hexham-courant.co.uk/news/2490451...

Would prefer she were a "red against red lines".

Stella Creasy now on the EU-UK Forum. She said that she is "a Red against Red Tape". She is not there to make the case for Rejoin but is interested in the Pan-Euro Mediterranean Convention (PEM).

"Reducing trade barriers is of mutual benefit to the UK and the EU, especially at a time when our economies need a kick start," Nick Thomas-Symonds says. "There is a clear opportunity to upgrade the relationship to deliver for businesses and citizens." 👏🏽 ~AA #Brepair

This EU-UK forum is focusing on issues such as the development of diplomatic and trade relations, boosting Europe’s economy and competitiveness and the growing importance of security and defence cooperation.

Labour is right to call out the damage done by Brexit, but undoing that damage takes more than just words. Rejoining Horizon is a step forward, but the UK must go further if it wants to stay competitive.

A youth mobility scheme is popular across the political spectrum. Crucial for our youngsters and the EU, it must be at the forefront of Starmer's UK-EU reset 🇪🇺🇬🇧. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Our letter timely printed to the @chroniclelive.co.uk on the day Keir Starmer is having UK-EU talks. With thanks to @leedseurope.bsky.social 🇪🇺

A fisherman from North Shields admitted live on GB News that he regretted voting for Brexit, 5 years after the UK left the EU. Fisherman Andy Dixon told reporter Nana Aku that Brexit had been a “disaster” for his industry and that it was “costing him dearly”. www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/brex...

We were delighted to have Baroness Joyce Quin join us to deliver @europeanmovement.co.uk leaflets to bring back Erasmus+ this weekend! Followed by another productive meeting 🇪🇺

Just about to hit 80k! Let's do that and then keep pushing! 😍

Thanks to Danish Broadcasting Corporation which is their equivalent to BBC for also covering a positive North East 🇪🇺 angle. Have tried to screengrab some translations of the relevant bits to us below. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

5th anniversary of Brexit: “We just want freedom to work” There has been a dramatic drop of 74% in artists touring the EU. The campaign, led by ‘Carry on Touring’, represents all creative artists affected by Brexit not just musicians.

Five years on, 55% of Britons now think Brexit was a mistake, with growing support for a closer EU relationship—or even rejoining

Was #BrexitDisaster right for the UK? Have your say in this poll.

You know what to do on this poll! www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

Happy 5th anniversary of Brexit! What a farce.

Another day, a different cause. Great to have Chris Kamara come into Parliament to help lobby the cause for more Speech and Language Therapy. All the MPs in the debate were queuing up for photos with him too afterwards!

“Brexit continues to haunt us. It’s posing real economic problems. The govt doesn’t like the equilibrium we’ve reached but is unwilling to do much about it…the EU feels little pressure to change the status quo” What a tedious, costly, bandwidth-consuming mess. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
