A letter headed "Unlike us, Brexit isn't ageing well", which appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 13 March 2026. Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe, notes comments from a previous correspondent about members' photos on its website. Mr Packham says opposition to Brexit has wide support across the generations and urges potential supporters to join European Movement UK or Young European Movement.

#Brexit isn't aging well, says Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social in this @hulldailymail.co.uk letter — unlike our 'young at heart' #RejoinEU campaigners. #BrexitReality #UKPolitics

"A packed debating chamber, buzzing with energy and curiosity, came together to debate whether Scotland and the UK should rejoin the EU. What struck me immediately was not just the scale of turnout but the seriousness with which students approached the question."
