Britain is already moving back towards EU alignment, piece by piece.
The question is no longer whether, but how far and how fast.

Ten years on from Brexit - our futures are as bound as ever. So, it is in our common interest to be ambitious about our partnership. Because the EU, the UK - in fact all of Europe - we are in this together. And we will always stick together. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission
The UK’s rightful place is at the heart of Europe. Let’s return.
#JoinTheEuropeanMovement
We've lost a decade of real progress and a relationship with our nearest neighbours, time to rejoin!
Successive governments have tried — and failed — to make #Brexit work. It hasn’t delivered, it can’t be fixed, and it never will.
#RejoinEU
The reality of Brexit ⬇️
Toby Ovens of Broughton Transport: "Brexit has been a costly and logistic nightmare.
"A reset with the EU represents the light at the end of the tunnel."

86% of 18-24 year olds want to rejoin the EU
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.
Brexit was not only costly to the UK, it also forced EU member states to spend money on border infrastructure that wasn't needed before.
It's a reminder why the EU is cautious about the UK.
Also, we need to replace FPTP with Proportional Representation!

June 2026 marks ten years since the EU referendum. On 20 June, the National Rejoin March offers a national moment to say the future can still change. @marchforrejoin.co.uk
Time for everyone to follow their (or all) local pro-EU group.
2016 is going to be a huge year for the rejoin campaign. 🙌
Single market participation means facing free movement and rule-taking honestly, making the national interest case that free movement supports growth and addresses skills shortages while restoring the right to work and study across the 31 single market countries, and explaining that the UK already follows many EU rules without influence so membership would unlock the full benefits and a clearer route to input.
Freedom of movement would open up cultural and professional opportunities for millions of people in the UK. It is in our national interest to participate in the single market.

A banner displayed at the entrance of the Council building announces the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union for 2026, with the logo "CY2026.EU" and the Council logo. Several workers are seen adjusting the banner.
New presidency, new look!
Cyprus has officially taken over the presidency of the Council of the EU!
Each country holds the presidency once every 13½ years. This helps ensure the smooth running of the EU.

Critics argue that the ECHR stops us from being able to deport illegal migrants. In reality, in 75 years the ECHR has only ruled against the UK in 13 cases out of 500k: 0.000026%. The ECHR is being used a scapegoat for domestic challenges, and we must defend it.

£1,063,795,090 - Total cost to musicians since Brexit. Fun Fact: With a budget of £1,063,795,508.21, you could employ 30,717 music teachers.
309,242,934,139 - Spotify Streams Needed to make up money lost by musicians due to Brexit. Fun Fact: Listening to 309,242,934,139 Spotify streams at 3 minutes per song would take 1.34 million years or 16,593 lifetimes.
10,637,957 Wembley gig tickets could have been purchased by the amount lost to musicians by Brexit. Fun Fact: 10,637,957 Wembley tickets could fill the Emirates Stadium 137 times - Imagine Arsenal home games sold out every weekend for 2.6 years!
Brexit is holding back one of the UK’s strongest creative exports, with musicians paying the price for Brexit through cancelled tours and lost work. We are calling for a reciprocated agreement and a review of the restrictions on how many days an artist and support workers can work in the EU.
More powerful evidence of the disaster of #Brexit from @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social. If we’re to avoid yet more austerity, we need to start by rejoining the customs union & single market. Brexit was a reckless waste of money we simply can’t afford @europeanmovement.co.uk

"Allowing young Britons to live and work across Europe will encourage them to learn languages for real-world use, not just as an academic subject. At the same time, welcoming young Europeans to the UK will inject energy, skills, and cultural understanding into our workforce" Noël Wolf, LBC, 29 October 2025
Enabling freedom of movement is vital for strengthening the UK economy, and rejoining the Erasmus+ programme would be an important step towards achieving this.
Farage's proposal to leave the ECHR voted down
Today, Members of Parliament voted overwhelmingly AGAINST Nigel Farage's bill to take the UK out of the ECHR. This is a win for all those who want to protect our last line of defence of our rights and freedoms.
Well done to @europeanmovement.co.uk and all who signed this
Like Brexit, leaving the ECHR would inflict great damage on Britain and its people
After avoiding the subject for so long, in just one week three senior Government ministers have confirmed how damaging Brexit has been to our economy.

Dominic Grieve is right. Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be a reckless act of self-harm, breaking security ties, breaching international law, and weakening Britain’s standing while doing nothing to solve the problems this government pretends to fix.
It is, be in no question, time to undo Brexit.
