The British Council are going to run UK operations for Erasmus+ 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Newspaper clipping from Newcastle’s The Journal (8 April 2026) titled “Has Trump killed Brexit?” The letter argues that post-Brexit hopes for a strong US trade relationship have not materialised, and that the UK may benefit from rebuilding closer ties with Europe, which is seen as more stable and aligned with British interests.

Has Trump killed #Brexit?
#TheJournal #Newcastle letter argues promise of a US-centric “Global Britain” hasn’t delivered - and rebuilding #EuropeanUnion ties now probably more stable, realistic path for #UKLabour #Starmer. Worth a read 👇 (And share if it resonates.)

Keir Starmer calls for a closer economic relationship with the EU: "Brexit did deep damage to the economy.

"The opportunities we now have to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living are simply too big to ignore."

Voters want action on UK-EU alignment to cut cost of living The government "simply don't have any time to waste on aligning at speed with our largest trading partner", warn campaigners calling for the UK to deepen its trading relationship with the European Uni...

Letter headed “Rejoining the EU questions”, in the Sunderland Echo. The writer takes issues with claims by Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle that the UK is not ready for “a protracted rejoining debate”. It may be unnecessary – given mounting evidence of the harm Brexit is doing to Britain.

See you there!

#Brexit - doesn't add up, does it? A @teessidelive.bsky.social letter highlights how one website uses dodgy numbers to mislead visitors into thinking #EuropeanUnion membership is too costly.
Truth is it would pay for itself. Many times over.

Glad to see we have rattled Boris Johnson’s favourite publication!

In today's Gazette! The writer says those who still support Brexit (Britain’s departure from the European Union) have used a number of ways previously to downplay the idea of rejoining. Among the latest is simply denying the truth of polls showing how unpopular Brexit is.

Brexiters who can’t agree whether #Brexit Britain is booming or bust need to get together and get their story straight, says this Sunderland Echo letter.
The truth, of course, is we were better off in the #EuropeanUnion. No-one questioned Nissan’s future then.

On this International Women's Day, our very own Julie Ward is one of the 26 NE women to feature in this international online exhibition of inspiring women 😊 #IWD2026 thewowfoundation.com/exhibitions/...

Are polls proving #Brexit unpopular 'fake news'? Or is saying so another lie from those frustrated at seeing public support fade away from their #BrexitShambles?
A letter in today's Journal points to strong #RejoinEU support, especially among young voters who didn't have a say in 2016.

Covid inquiry reaches ‘bittersweet’ final day of witness testimony Campaigners say ‘hard-hitting, clear-sighted and damning’ inquiry – the most expensive in history – ‘absolutely has been worth it’ * ‘A new normal’: inquiry’s key findings on how Covid changed UK society Bereaved families have marked the final day of witness testimony in the long-running Covid inquiry by saying government “incompetence, chaos and callousness is now on the public record”. Matt Fowler, co-founder of Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK (CBFFJ), urged officials to use the inquiry as a blueprint “to take brave, decisive, urgent action” and warned the country was still not prepared for a future crisis.

Covid inquiry reaches ‘bittersweet’ final day of witness testimony

Courtesy of Sunderland Unites .....

All the #Brexit promises made by the Leave elite 10 years ago have been broken. As this letter in the Newcastle Chronicle today points out, supporters are now making up spurious - and often contradictory - excuses for staying out of the #EuropeanUnion.

...and again in the Gazette.... ten years on since David Cameron announced the referendum have you noticed how the language of Brexit is changing? No more talk of "sunlit uplands" that's for sure!

Wide agreement #Brexit has failed – even #Farage says so. But those behind our #EuropeanUnion departure aren’t yet ready accept blame.

As this Sunderland Echo letter explains, they need scapegoats. Ignore their fictions about ‘blobs’, ‘Remainers’, ‘traitors’ and ‘elites’. Let’s #RejoinEU instead!

On 09/02, the House of Commons will debate the following Petition, which was signed by over 113,000 U.K. voters: “Call for a Public Inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy”
to support the idea of a Public Inquiry.

*Russian involvement in the Brexit referendum amongst others.*

🤢 FIVE WINNERS. MILLIONS LOSERS.

🚨Brexit beneficiaries:
Johnson - PM
Farage - fame
Putin - a weaker UK
Epstein - ???
Steve Bannon - Far right Growth

Everyone else got higher prices, fewer rights, and a divided country.

We'll just let that sink in! #EpsteinFiles #Brexit

So how do you think it's going?
This was the day NE workers like in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet no longer had the right to work in Germany nor 25 other EU countries (or vice versa). The huge brexit queues in the airport may have put them off anyway!

🚨An internal FBI counter-intelligence briefing flagged Britain’s failure to investigate Russian interference in Brexit.

This wasn’t gossip.
It was briefed to senior US law-enforcement officials.

The UK didn’t take it seriously.
Others did.
