I remember in 2015/2016 how SLOW pro-EU mobilisation was -it only really exploded AFTER the Brexit vote. Let's not make that mistake again. At European movement UK, we've been building the mobilisation structures needed. All you need to do is join us. --> www.europeanmovement.co.uk/signup-newsl...

When Andy Burnham met Donald Trump in New York the President asked whether it was still “50-50” on Brexit. “It’s actually changing,” the PM replied. How “rejoin” went from fringe campaign to option on the table. My piece for @theobserveruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Half want to rejoin EU and backing it could drive up Labour vote, megapoll finds
Exclusive: Findings will bolster those in No 10 who want to negotiate on re-entry but some senior figures remain wary Andy Burnham’s personal preference to rejoin the European Union after the next election is supported by almost half of all voters, a new megapoll has found, although cabinet ministers concerned about reopening Brexit divides are privately urging him to proceed with caution. The poll by the Messina Group (TMG) found that renegotiating the UK’s relationship with the EU could boost Labour’s vote share by as much as seven points, if the prime minister offered a fresh referendum in which he campaigned to re-enter the bloc.

We welcome Andy Burnham’s call for a clear, long-term relationship with Europe. The next UK–EU summit can deliver practical gains for British industries. He’s right that we also need to decide what relationship we want with our largest market in the decades ahead.
