Channel Island fishers are losing thousands as post-Brexit red tape blocks exports at French ports. One Jersey fisherman lost nearly £10,000 over a typo. The industry is now calling for the issue to be pushed to the EU Commission.

Sewage was dumped into the Mersey 1,900 times in 2024. Since leaving the EU, the UK has slipped on water and air standards while Europe pushes ahead with tougher protections. Add your name to demand higher standards for our environment: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/uk-eu-enviro...

From January 2026, UK businesses face an £800m hit from new EU carbon rules, with costs likely passed to consumers. The solution is simple: align UK carbon rules with the EU to cut Brexit red tape, protect businesses and stop higher prices. The government must act now.

Delusions of sovereignty trump the financial security of Britain and its people. What a ludicrous thing to suggest. Brexit has made us all poorer.

🌱 Earlier this afternoon we had our fringe event at the #LibDemsConference2025 with the @greenlibdems.org.uk. 🎉 Turn out was high, and we had some great discussions on how closer UK-EU collaboration could improve environmental protections!

🌍 New Defra Secretary Emma Reynolds has a big chance to reset UK environmental policy. From EU cooperation to farming, deforestation, and the circular economy, @ieep-uk.bsky.social highlights seven key steps she could take to make her mark. 🔗 Read more:

Devon MP Steve Darling is urging ministers to act as Paignton Zoo, Dartmoor Zoo & Plymouth’s National Marine Aquarium face a “perfect storm” of post-Brexit red tape, rising costs & falling visitor spend. He wants an urgent summit to save Britain’s zoos & aquariums.

The bureaucratic demands put on artists touring the continent are so great that many acts are simply giving up. And the government is doing nothing about it.

Lack of ambition from Labour leadership is just stunning … @europeanmovement.co.uk

🚨 New Senedd report exposes the heavy toll of Brexit on Wales. 📉 Exports to the EU down 31% 💷 Businesses facing spiralling costs and red tape 🇪🇺 Wales sidelined in UK–EU talks Brexit is hitting Wales harder than the rest of the UK – and the cracks are only getting wider.

ICYMI: Utterly ludicrous to paint Brexit as anything other than a complete failure!

The ECHR is the backbone of the Good Friday Agreement. With Reform UK calling for the UK to withdraw, we need to speak out. Add your name to our letter to the Government, and make sure that Nigel Farage's divisive policies don't gain more traction. www.europeanmovement.co.uk/keep_uk_in_e...

5000+ people just swam round the Danish Parliament in clean waters. Wish we could do that in the Thames? Join our campaign for the UK to work with the EU for safer swimming and more. www.europeanmovement.co.uk/one_earth_on... copenhagenswim.com/en/connect/n...

'We are committed to working towards a balanced youth experience scheme between the UK and the EU.' In an agreement signed yesterday between the UK and Spain, the Government has for the first time formally committed to negotiating a Youth Experience Scheme. www.gov.uk/government/n...

It's being called Farage's 'Talk Britain Down' tour. Comparing the UK to North Korea. Describing Great Britain as 'awful'. Calling the UK an 'authoritarian' regime. Instead he got called a 'Putin-loving free-speech imposter.' 😆

'A very sorry saga of wasted time, effort and money.' Politico on the hundreds of thousands invested into near-redundant border inspection facilities because of Brexit. www.politico.eu/article/brex...

This excellent @ukandeu.bsky.social and @resfoundation.bsky.social report shows how closer UK-EU relations are crucial in an array of policy areas. A key conclusion: government rejection of the single market and customs union is 'impacting negatively on growth'. ukandeu.ac.uk/reports/poli...

Farage wants Britain out of the ECHR and the Refugee Convention, tearing up protections and deporting thousands to danger. Leaving would be cruel, isolate the UK, and wreck our ability to rebuild a positive relationship with Europe. This must be rejected.

Leaving the ECHR would unravel the Good Friday Agreement, destabilise devolution, and wreck our EU security deal. It would strip Britain of influence and safety. This reckless move must be stopped.

@europeanmovement.co.uk Farage does not represent the majority of people in Britain, nor the values that our country is built on - cooperation, democracy, fairness, human rights and the rule of law.

Like @zoegrunewald.bsky.social‬, @europeanmovement.co.uk says 'let's counter Farage's divisive arguments and show a wave of support for the ECHR - for human rights, and protecting citizens from unchecked government power. ..Reform UK does not speak for us, and the true values of this country.'

‪ Despite the media attention he receives, Farage does not represent the majority of people in Britain, nor the values that our country is built on - cooperation, democracy, fairness, human rights and the rule of law. Don't let him persuade you his policies are popular. @europeanmovement.co.uk

What Reform’s “detain and deport” really means: ❌ Sending people to torture and death. ❌ Making the UK a rogue state outside international law. ❌ Higher prices as leaving the ECHR wrecks our EU trade deal. This is not about control, it is about cruelty - we must stand against it.

Brexit has made it harder and more expensive for UK musicians to tour Europe, threatening our culture and creativity. It’s time to Face the Music - sign the petition and demand a solution so artists can perform freely across Europe again.

On Ukraine’s Independence Day, we reaffirm our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and freedom. Russia’s aggression is illegal, brutal and must never be rewarded. Europe must stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. 🇺🇦 🇬🇧

Britain’s young people deserve the same opportunities as their European peers. Erasmus+ opens doors to study, work and life-changing experiences across Europe. We back calls to rejoin the scheme - sign the petition and let’s bring Erasmus+ back.

We agree with Stella Creasy and Labour Movement for Europe: the UK needs a salvage operation to repair the damage of Brexit and realign with Europe. We also back calls for a scrutiny committee to hold ministers to account on environmental standards.

Truckers treated “like second-class citizens” on the M20 isn’t just bad planning, it’s Brexit chaos made permanent. Operation Brock was meant to be temporary, yet drivers are still stuck in queues without food or toilets. Britain deserves better than this mess.

@carolinelucas.bsky.social, Co-President of European Movement, warns Brexit has left the UK falling behind on climate and nature. From pesticides to polluted rivers, divergence is a self-inflicted wound. Our future depends on rebuilding UK–EU cooperation now. theecologist.org/2025/aug/21/...

Today, GCSE students celebrate results that shape their future. But without Erasmus+, the UK is holding them back from life-changing opportunities to study, train and grow in Europe. Together we can fix this. Add your name:

European movement Co-president, Caroline Lucas says: "Britain needs a new comprehensive UK–EU Energy, Climate and Environment Partnership - and we need it now."

Brexit is battering our services sector, exports to the EU are down nearly 16%, with red tape, licensing hurdles and loss of mutual recognition costing firms clients and cash. www.britishchambers.org.uk/news/2025/08...

5 years after Brexit, it’s shamefully clear that UK is being left behind on environment policy. With few exceptions, Govt has *deliberately* chosen not to keep up with standards of EU neighbours. Worse, in a number of areas they’re planning to actively go backwards @ieep.eu @europeanmovement.co.uk

Raging wildfires, dry reservoirs, sewage in lakes. Don't take any more crap from climate denying Brexit fanatics. Work with our European neighbours to save our planet and cut energy bills. Join our @europeanmovement.co.uk campaign: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/one_earth_on...

Brexit was sold as a new dawn, yet Britain is falling behind the EU on climate, chemicals and nature. Drifting isn’t leadership. We should be racing to exceed European standards, not watching our environmental ambitions slide into second-rate status. Read more:

I support the @europeanmovement.co.uk campaign for the UK to re-join Erasmus+ and am glad the Government has agreed to work towards association to the programme. Our young people should have access to the same mobility and opportunities as our European neighbours.

Leaving the EU’s power market is costing us dearly! Brexit is adding up to £370 million a year onto our electricity bills, money that could be in people’s pockets instead. We need our government to be brave enough to reverse this. www.europeanmovement.co.uk/uk-eu-enviro...

ICYMI: The UK is quickly recovering a prime position in the EU’s £80bn science research programme 18 months after becoming a participating member following the resolution of Brexit problems, data shows.

Brexit was supposed to mean control, now we’re crawling back to EU rules just to stop food prices soaring. Starmer’s “reset” isn’t a win, it’s an admission Brexit has failed, and we’re paying the price at the checkout.

Trump meets Putin, but Ukraine must lead peace talks. Lviv Govenor. Maksym Kozytskyi speaks of resilience. A just peace needs Ukraine and EU at the table. We stand with Lviv and Kyiv, and demand their voice is heard.

The UK isn’t immune to climate change. Record-breaking wildfires in 2025 show the threat to life is here, not just in Southern Europe. Working closely with our European partners to tackle the effects of Climate Change is vital.
