Yet another thing #Brexit stole from us… 😢 Let’s hope that the UK’s rejoining of #Erasmus will restore this wonderful and #sustainable travel opportunity for our young people in future years. 🤞 Or maybe we should just #RejoinSingleMarket or #RejoinEU! What do you think? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺 #BrexitBreaksBritain

At a press conference this morning, Sir Keir Starmer has stated that "our long term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe and with the European Union." We couldn't agree more.

Starmer has today said that "it is increasingly clear that as the world continues down this volatile path, our long-term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe". Security lies in cooperation, not isolation - who better to partner with than our closest allies?

Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine. Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage. 
Two colours, burning with resistance. Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever Slava Ukraini.

Very good to see a UK Parliament debate on the importance of our relationship with #OurEU and the damage caused by #BrexitBreaksBritain being organised by Scottish MP Stephen Gethins, the SNP Spokesperson for International Affairs. #LeaveALightOn #RejoinEU

A recent YouGov poll found that 63% of the UK population would vote to rejoin the EU, and further polling by Savanta on behalf of ITV found that it rises to 83% with 16-25 year olds. It's time to regain our rightful place at the heart of Europe.

The House of Lords has published a report on the progress on implementing commitments made at the UK-EU summit in May 2025, including a youth mobility scheme, and participation in EU schemes, such as the EU Electricity Market.

The sort of area of innovation where UK also has skills/experience. Luckily we can still apply, but as #BrexitStillBreaksBritain unable to propose projects in UK. “Applicants from any nationality [can] apply [if] project, concept, or idea is implemented in EU, Western Balkans, Ukraine or Moldova.”

A recent poll by Savanta on behalf of ITV Youth Tracker found that 83% of 16-25 year olds would vote to rejoin the EU. Young people are the future - it's time we listen to them and ensure that future generations are not held back by the disastrous decision to cut our ties with the EU.

It’s not just that a large majority want Britain to rejoin the EU, it’s the fact that the majority steadily continues to grow…

It's been 40 years since Spain and Portugal’s accession to the European Union 🇪🇺 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 The European Parliament marks the anniversary during a plenary session, reflecting on four decades of democratic consolidation, economic integration and shared European decision-making.

Great to see the launch of this major new project with the U.K. joining European neighbours. The project seeks to create and link offshore wind farms in the North Sea to more than one country via 'interconnectors' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA. We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material. In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights. link.europa.eu/Fh8h84

As the country and area which voted entirely and most strongly to Remain (and #Edinburgh the most EU supporting city), it’s really good to see support for #RejoinOurEU here in #Scotland is still just as strong, if not stronger, than ever! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✊☺️ #RejoinSingleMarket #RejoinEU #BrexitStillBreaksBritain

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

Europe is working on a package to support Arctic security. And at the heart of this will be the fundamental principle: it is for sovereign people to decide their own future.

These words come from Mike Johnson, US House Speaker, who addressed UK Parliament this morning. However, if they are to have any meaningful impact, Trump's action must align with his speaker's words.

Dan O’Brien, chief economist at the Institute of International and European Affairs, says it cleanly. Britain is weaker outside the EU, and Europe is weaker without Britain, and Brexit has handed advantage to the bullies who see allies as leverage.

Should be a good #RejoinEU debate in #Glasgow this Friday evening, and perhaps who better to lead the arguments in favour than former #Scotland MEP @alynsmith.bsky.social who, at the sad moment of our leaving, asked our fellow Europeans to #LeaveALightOn for us to help find our way home again? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺

A Deltapoll survey for The Mirror found that 86% of 18-24 year olds want to rejoin the EU. It is time for the Government to listen; young people are the future.
