Our polling with YouGov shows that 99% of constituencies want to rejoin the EU. And Labour promising to rejoin the EU could stop a Reform UK government. Now is the time to talk about EU membership. www.ft.com/content/a1614884-7c8c-43…

Playing 'whack-a-mole' on migration? 🔨 In @yorkshirepost.co.uk ✉️, Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social exposes how #Brexit severed EU databases & returns pacts, leaving the UK stranded while populist grifters profit from chaos. Time for real security cooperation! 🤝 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #Leeds #Yorkshire #UKPolitics
A scanned clipping of a letter to the editor published in The Yorkshire Post on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, headlined "Britain playing 'whack-a-mole' on migration" by Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe.   The letter argues that while collective action across Europe is vital, the EU has already implemented its comprehensive Migration and Asylum Pact across 27 nations. In contrast, Brexit severed Britain's access to vital European biometric databases and tore up returns agreements, leaving the UK playing a hopeless game of migration 'whack-a-mole' as smuggling gangs shift routes.   It condemns masked anti-migrant demonstrators dressed like bank robbers as un-British intimidation, and accuses populist figures of never wanting the crisis resolved because the chaos is too lucrative for their political grifting. It concludes that the UK must abandon isolationism and rebuild practical security cooperation with our European neighbours.

A letter headed "Left behind", which appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 18 July 2026. Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe, cites Lord Neil Kinnock's call to "do it for the kids" and build better relations with the European Union. It is an appeal that should find favour with both parents and grandparents, as doing so should increase opportunities for their offspring.

If you're worried about Freedom of Movement, don't be. It's a benefit of the Single Market. Two-thirds of UK voters support it, while less than 20% are opposed. This is from the ECFR survey report published at the weekend, but other recent polling finds very similar results.
European Council on Foreign Relations survey published on 21st June 2926, showing that 66% of UK voters back Freedom of Movement while 18% are opposed.
