Help us build a future in Europe. Join European Movement UK today.

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.

Ken Skates, Leader of Welsh Labour, spoke to Sky News at Labour Party conference in Liverpool yesterday, and expressed support for rejoining the EU and for Sadiq Khan's calls to rejoin and added: "The question is at what point, and how do you make the necessary journey to get there?

"Our future lies in a stronger, deeper partnership with the European Union." In Ed Miliband's speech at Labour Conference, he made the point that Europe is more than just our geography, it is how we pursue our values and build our alliances, and that the UK is stronger with others.

Sadiq Khan wants Britain to start preparing to rejoin the EU now: return to the customs union, pursue associate membership, consider the single market and put a clear rejoin pledge in Labour’s next manifesto. His message to Andy Burnham: start making the case to voters today.

"If you actually want to see the heat and the light coming back into this economy, you need to get back in step with the EU because that is our biggest trading partner." Emily Maitlis making an impassioned case for how we can grow the UK economy through a closer relationship with the EU.

"You can do it by forming a new customs union with the European Union, you can do it by rejoining the single market." Josh Babarinde on Question Time making the economic case for a new relationship with the EU.

We have contacted every single MP in Parliament asking them to stand up for our future in Europe at the debate on 12th October. Nearly 25,000 emails have been sent to MPs by their constituents letting them know the strength of feeling.

"There are many things you can fight, but geography isn’t one of them." Stella Creasy, chair of Labour for Europe, speaking on Newsnight about how we can form stronger relationships with our European neighbours, especially as geopolitical threats increase.

"I am very clear that what the Prime Minister wants me to do, what my own constituents what me to do, is get a closer relationship with Europe." Europe minister Hamish Falconer tells Robert Peston he believes 'there is room to raise our eyes' when it comes to Europe.

The closer we are to our largest market, the better our prospects for growth. European Movement's Nick Harvey made the case for keeping the UK’s future relationship with the EU open. With the economy under pressure, the government should be looking at every opportunity to strengthen it.
