@europeanmovement.co.uk’s new #Brexit impact report highlights calls for #EU #SingleMarket access. @birminghamlive.bsky.social readers urged in letter to write to their MP about it. @leedseurope.bsky.social members doing this already. Hope #ProEuropean #ProEU supporters elsewhere contacting MPs, too

This letter appeared in the Birmingham Mail on 14 August 2025. Recently announced trade deals with countries including India will not offset trade lost with Europe as a consequence of Brexit, says the writer.

Exactly what I'm talking about. Starmer should be hanging Farage out to dry, telling him the delays and checks are down to his Brexit.
Go after Farage. Let him defend Britons being exposed to EES and Etias.

So inspiring to see young people showing strong support for the EU at the High Tide Festival in Twickenham.
They never chose #Brexit, but they’re choosing hope, unity, and a better future. 🇪🇺

No one born this century voted for Brexit. Time to listen to the future. #RejoinEU

A clear target of leading the UK into a new customs union with the EU by 2030 could be truly transformative. There’s no doubt the public will is there to make it happen. The question is: will Keir Starmer seize the moment and deliver it?

Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course | Ed Davey

Poll after poll shows most voters think leaving the EU has been a failure. Closer ties with Europe would bring huge rewards, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

European Movement UK @europeanmovement.co.uk · Aug 4

Nearly a decade later and our economy’s barely grown, UK shares have lagged global peers by 35%, exports are down 6.4% and small firms are bearing the brunt. It’s time we stop sugar-coating and face the real cost of leaving the EU.

www.reuters.com/markets/brex...

Brexit's parallels with Trump tariffs tell a tale

In figuring out why the U.S. tariff shock hasn't sent the economy or financial world into a tailspin, Britain's exit from the European Union trade bloc provides something of a playbook - and without a particularly happy ending.

For a moment a majority was for it. And at peak leave we voted bit.ly/45cjF6p Like every summit, all around it was only downside. “The greatest act of national self harm” as many have said from Geldof to Ian Kershaw to Heseltine.

Only 29% would back Brexit now — poll proves tables have turned

We asked Britain about Europe, China and their least favourite world leaders, but one answer stands out

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.

Sunday Times cover saying new poll shows only 29% would vote for Brexit now.
