A reminder that it’s the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival on now, from Friday 17 - Sunday 26 July, hosting jazz and blues (and other) musicians from here, from elsewhere in Europe, and from all around the world! 🎺🎷🎹🥁 (But sadly not present here on Bluesky, that’s a bit of a blue note… 😢) ejbf.co.uk

Caroline Lucas, Former Co-Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, and Co-President of European Movement UK, argues that our future lies with Europe. We must stop isolating ourselves from our closest partners.

Stability 👍 Hmm, how many Prime Ministers and Govts have we had in the UK now, since Cameron foolishly proposed the #Brexit referendum and the resulting disastrous consequences? 😢 #BrexitBreaksBritain #RejoinOurEU

NEW: The EU's official opinion poll once again finds the cost-of-living is the top priority of European citizens Leaders should stop dancing to the tune of corporate lobbyists and start responding to the concerns of working people 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

The Presidency of the Council of the EU rotates among member states every 6 months, letting every country play a further key role in the working of the EU. Now it’s Ireland’s turn again! (When UK was a member, we held the Presidency 6 times, and were to soon hold it again but for the #Brexit vote.)

An overwhelming 90% demand for unity proves that citizens view the EU as a vital shield, not an overbearing burden. In a dangerous and unstable world, national isolationism is a dead end—collective protection requires a stronger, fully integrated Europe. 🛑🇪🇺👇

When UK was an EU member, citizens of other EU nations paid same tuition fees as students of the country of the UK where they were studying (and vice versa, of course), meaning no undergrad fees at universities in Scotland! 🤝 @johnswinney.bsky.social, will #ScotGov try to make this possible again?

Major “Brexit has left Britain poorer, weaker & locked out of the richest free trade market in history. “The U.K. once reveled in being a leading member of an E.U. with half a billion citizens & the undoubted first ally of the US — the world’s most eminent superpower” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/o...

In an interview with The Independent, Sir John Major, Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, argued that "there is a change coming, and the change coming is the next generation". Our future is European.

On 29 June, we celebrate the birthday of Robert Schuman, one of the founders of the EU.   His vision? Countries working together instead of against each other, a goal still worth celebrating today.    Learn more link.europa.eu/XFgv8R

Just love this graphic from @sheffieldforeurope.bsky.social It encapsulates freedoms we have lost as a result of #Brexit Let’s work towards finding our way home

Brexit rhymes with…

10 years after Brexit Referendum a message from @TerryReintke “I believe that Brexit was a massive mistake, that it weakened Glasgow, Scotland, the whole of the UK, but also the EU. So, let me reassure you 100% that we want Scotland, we want the UK back in the European Union”

#BrexitStillBreaksBritain. We simply have to #RejoinOurEU. Luckily we do still have good friends who #SaveOurStar and #LeaveALightOn for us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺

Gen Z is officially over Brexit. A new poll shows a massive majority want a vote to rejoin the EU. Turns out "taking back control" loses its charm when you realize it just meant losing your future. 📉🫖👇

🇪🇺 🇬🇧 The door to the EU will always remain open. The UK remains an important part of the European family, and together we are stronger. Last Saturday‘s National Rejoin March was a clear reminder that the hope for a closer future remains alive. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Remember the £350m for the NHS or the absolute panic over "bendy bananas"? Ten years on, The Guardian fact-checks the exact promises that won the referendum. Spoiler alert: the money never arrived, the red tape skyrocketed, and the whole thing was an expensive fairy tale. 📉🫖👇

Research Professional News examines the devastating toll Brexit has taken on UK universities. From the painful loss of immediate research funding to a collapse in EU student numbers and talent flight, the reality has proven to be exactly as grim as higher education leaders warned in 2016. 🎓🏛️👇

Ten years on from the Brexit referendum, trade unions on both sides of the Channel are calling for a jobs first reset in EU-UK relations firmly rooted in social progress 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

Ten years after voting to "take back control," some politicians are still desperately trying to use the EU as a scapegoat. Michel Barnier points out that the great lie of blaming Brussels has completely run its course—you can’t blame your neighbour for the mess inside your own house. 🫠📋👇

Good thread from @cambsforeurope.bsky.social highlighting so many reasons why we need to #RejoinOurEU.

Today, on the tenth anniversary of the disastrous Brexit referendum, I'm preparing to chair the first meeting of Holyrood's Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee. And I'll be wearing this.

#BrexitStillBreaksBritain. We simply have to #RejoinOurEU. Luckily we do still have good friends who #SaveOurStar and #LeaveALightOn for us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺

Fascinating look at the towns that swung the Brexit vote 10 years ago. Turns out the promised "sunlit uplands" never quite made it to the bellwether constituencies. Funny how that works. 🫠📊👇

Neil Kinnock speaking at the National Rejoin March outlines the economic damage of Brexit, the need for middle countries to work together, and calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union

Layla Moran, “I believe in the EU because I believe in global prosperity and security” “Britain’s place has always been in the heart of Europe, it’s where we need to be again”

#Brexit destroys its 5th Prime Minister (plus a lettuce). Will the 7th PM take the steps needed, knowing that the only way to stop hindering the UK’s economy and to restore our standing in the world is to #RejoinSingleMarket and #RejoinOurEU?

​LBC nails the exact feeling of this 10-year milestone. Waking up to the anniversary of the referendum isn't a celebration; it’s a solemn look at a decade of manufactured economic decline. A total political travesty that we are still collectively paying for. #Brexit #UKPolitics #RejoinEU

Lord Kinnock calling Brexit an "unmitigated, unprecedented, continuing disaster" sums it up perfectly. With marchers filling London demanding our star back, the political silence is finally shattering. Turns out a decade of economic drag can’t be hidden forever. 🥾🇪🇺 #RejoinEU #UKPolitics

​Ten years after the referendum, and the verdict carried by The Irish News is clear: a total disaster. With thousands filling the streets of London demanding to rejoin, the political silence in Westminster is completely unsustainable. We want our future back. 🥾🇪🇺 #NationalRejoinMarch #RejoinEU

Starmer telling the country not to 'look backwards' at Brexit while thousands are literally outside his window in Parliament Square demanding a return to Europe is peak political avoidance. Hard to move forward when your policy is just managing a broken status quo. 🫠🇪🇺 #Brexit #RejoinEU

🎵 This is what Europe unity looks like! 🎵 🎵 This is what democracy looks like! 🎵 #OdeToJoy #SaveOurStar 🙂🤩 @terryreintke.bsky.social (MEP and Honorary MEP for the decitizened), @suewilson91.bsky.social (@bremaininspain.com), @madeleinakayart.com at #MarchForRejoin in London. #RejoinOurEU 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺

Rejoin March👏 every year until 🇬🇧REJOINED🇪🇺 #rejoineu #rejoinmarch

​A brutal metric for the 10-year anniversary: UK food exports to the EU are down 23%, and thousands of small businesses have given up entirely. "Sovereignty" doesn’t mean much when pure bureaucracy kills your livelihood. Pragmatic alignment is now the only way out. 📈🛑 #Brexit UK Business

Energising to be with so many like-minded people thanks to @marchforrejoin.co.uk team for organising and all the great speakers we heard. We will prevail.

We're at @marchforrejoin.co.uk marking 10 years since the referendum which has caused untold damage. But we're upbeat: the tide is turning! The UK will return to its proper place at the heart of our continent.

Today thousands gathered and marched in London to demand a better European future for the UK. We must rejoin the EU and unite with our neighbours to defend our shared values and interests.

So much blue and yellow on Westminster Bridge! #RejoinEU

Ten years after the extreme folly of Brexit good to know that a majority of the public now regret the UK leaving the European Union. Good to join with friends from East Kent European Movement on today’s rejoin march in London today. Next step single market & customs union.

Richard Corbett: “ A new Europe is being forged, countries across Europe are discovering that they have shared value… A new Europe is being forged and Britain should be part of it” #RejoinEU #RejoinEUMarch

Britain says rejoin

Fantastic pictures from the #RejoinMarch in London today including a lot of the speakers. #Rejoin

Layla Moran “To the young people you will have the furure that I had “ #RejoinEU #RejoinMarch

Rousing speech from Neil Kinnock at the #RejoinEU rally in London today #RejoinMarch

Madeleina Kay in fine form (as always!) on the National Rejoin March on London today! #RejoinEU #NRM #NationalRejoinMarch #RejoinMarch #nationalmarchforrejoin #BrexitHasFailed #unitedeurope

​We were promised a global trading superpower, but ten years later we’ve just got a beautifully written checklist of our own economic self-sabotage. It’s like reviewing the damage report on your car a decade after driving it straight into a brick wall. 🚗💥 #Brexit #RejoinEU

Fascinating how 'taking back control' apparently meant watching France and Germany build real technological sovereignty, while we hand the keys of our most sensitive national data over to Silicon Valley billionaires. Truly a masterclass in independent British statecraft. 🙃🤖 #RejoinEU #Tech

National Rejoin March 🙌

The tragedy of the UK fishing fleet is a textbook example of populism colliding with economic reality. Coastal communities were used as the ultimate symbolic pawns for the Leave campaign, only to be completely abandoned the second actual trade deals had to be negotiated. 🌊🏛️ #Brexit #UKPolitics
