Neil's speech, yesterday, belongs up there with Militant Tendency ("...scuttling about in taxis...") and his Bridgend speech ("I warn you not to be old" ... etc). He conveyed the right sense of urgency. We must rejoin the EU NOW, not "in the lifetime" of whoever is Labour leader next week.

The 2026 Senedd election is an opportunity for our movement to make a big impact, urging the next Welsh govt to work towards building closer ties with Europe... ..and putting pressure on Westminster to listen to the concerns of the Welsh from all walks of life who have been impacted by Brexit.

Barclays confirms it: consumer confidence in the UK still hasn’t recovered since the Brexit vote. Nearly a decade on, the economic scars remain, and no amount of lipstick or holiday bookings can hide them.
