If #NigelFarage is allowed another vote to secure his mandate as an MP, why aren't we allowed another vote on the EU? #Brexit has cost so much to young people, and most of us didn't even get a say in the referendum 10 years ago... If Farage gets to have another vote - so should we!

A letter headed "Unlike us, Brexit isn't ageing well", which appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 13 March 2026. Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe, notes comments from a previous correspondent about members' photos on its website. Mr Packham says opposition to Brexit has wide support across the generations and urges potential supporters to join European Movement UK or Young European Movement.
