Sir Nick Clegg, Former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: "If anyone thinks that being alone is a smart place to be in this modern world, they've got another thing coming." It's time to build a European future for Britain.

It's positive to hear these words from Andy Burnham, MP for Makerfield, particularly in a time when closer cooperation with Europe is more essential than ever. The current Government have made good progress on a deeper UK-EU relationship, but we must go further.

I want an even closer relationship with countries across Europe, working more through European-led groupings, such as the E3 (the UK, France and Germany), 
strengthening the European pillar in Nato and breaking down any barriers to defence industrial co-operation.
 
I want to consolidate the progress made on the existing UK-EU negotiations and make further progress quickly.

Polling conducted by Opinium on behalf of European Movement UK also found that 46% of 18-34 year olds think the UK should revisit the question of EU membership within the next 5 years. The public support is there. Now let's turn that support into meaningful action.

61% of 18-34 year olds think the UK should revisit the question of EU membership within the next 10 years.

Lord Kinnock, Former Leader of the Labour Party and Patron of European Movement UK: "If you love your country, and the people who live under the flag, and not just saluting a flag, you will want to get us back into the European Union." Our journey home to Europe is only just getting started.

The Commission is reportedly planning to finalise negotiations on phytosanitary rules, emissions trading system alignment, and a reciprocal youth mobility scheme in the days and weeks following the appointment of Sir Keir Starmer's successor, following his resignation as Prime Minister last week.

Nick Thomas-Symonds also told Reuters that "it is absolutely critical for us that the vital supply chains that we have with the European Union, not just that we preserve what we have, but that we are building upon them as we move into the later part of the decade,"..."this is about looking forward."

This is about ​where we are in 2026. I think 2026 is very different from 2016. I think 2026 is very different ‌from 2024. ⁠And I think at this time we can see ... the crucial importance of our supply chains, the deep supply chains we have with the European Union. Nick Thomas-Symonds MP,
Minister for the Constitution and European Union Relations.

"I believe in the European Union because it signifies what humanity should be striving towards" Founder of National Rejoin March Youth, Ceíra Casey Sergeant, speaking at the March for Rejoin, shares her views on why we should rejoin the EU

Ten years after the UK left the EU, Gina Miller tells Euronews the next decade should begin with a Labour leader setting out closer EU ties on growth, defence, AI and the environment, alongside a reset to cut red tape and reverse the drift to lower regulation.

Some argue that young people have little interest in closer ties with the European Union. But at the National March for Rejoin in Parliament Square, young speaker Haydn Osborne-Brookes put it differently, “We want our future back. We want the freedom to travel, work, and study across Europe again.”

Baroness Hazarika suggests the political instability with revolving prime ministers is down to harm caused by Brexit. On the 10th anniversary of the referendum which led to the UK to leaving the EU, would you credit subsequent political instability to Brexit?

Shocking admission from Vote Leave’s chief executive, now Baron Elliott, that the famous “£350 million for the NHS” bus claim is undermined by the fact that NHS funding increased in 2019 before Brexit actually took effect, suggesting NHS spending was always a domestic political decision

In a BBC documentary, Boris Johnson admits: “We didn’t have a plan for what to do next. We didn’t think it was our job to have a plan.” Ten years on from the vote to leave the EU, and after seeing the consequences that followed, what should the plan be for the UK to rejoin the European Union?
