Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK
We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin ...

Date for your diaries in five weekends time. Help push this up the UK political agenda again, as it already faces polemics of "Brexit Backsliding" over a 10-year-old vote.

UK artists have lost an average of £11,545 of income since the UK left the EU. And it is now harder for new artists to tour our largest and nearest market, due to increased bureaucracy and red tape. 📸 Raph_PH/Flickr

Writing for The Observer, Tom Baldwin argues that "the country is changing its mind on Brexit. Leadership now means seizing the moment and setting a clear course back towards Europe." 55% of Brits want to rejoin the EU. How much louder does the public need to be?!

Today, European Movement UK launched our report making the case for single market membership, entitled ‘Freedom to prosper: British business and the case for the single market’. The single market has raised EU GDP by 3-4% and created 3.6 million jobs. The case is clear. Read it at the link below.

10 years after the referendum and the ONLY thing the minority who still support Brexit go on about, is winning that referendum (just). Why? Because it is the ONLY win Brexit has. The vote. Nothing since has been a win for Brexit. "Brexit has failed" Nigel Farage

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped create the European Convention on Human Rights, a promise of life, liberty, and fairness under the law. It has strengthened justice, protected victims, and upheld equality. These rights are ours to defend.

Labour is right to call out the ways in which Brexit has damaged our economy - and the British public knows it. It’s the top reason they think Brexit has failed. Our new report analyses how the public views Brexit. Full report here:

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

And expect that number to shrink further. No matter how much the government, major parties, or tabloid press push “Brexit benefits…” People know Brexit doesn’t. Brexit leaves the UK in a structurally weaker position, bleeding money, time, efficiency and opportunity daily.
