Other non-EU countries have hosted European Capital of Culture. The UK shouldn’t miss out just because of Brexit. I’ve written to Juncker and the Culture Secretary to call for urgent action.
Surprised & disappointed re: this development. We hope conversation @DCMS is having w/the Commission will revisit this, ensuring Britain might host 2023 European Capital of Culture & a UK city may go on to be successful in realising its cultural ambitions. https://t.co/kZCoZTSPCw

The warmest of thanks from #Dundee2023 for all the positive messages of support we have received directly and seen online. It’s all very much appreciated.
