[Tamsin Shasha @TamsinShasha]

Touché Richard! A day of hope.

[Richard Wilson @Wilson4VC]

@TamsinShasha @MarchForRejoin @mikegalsworthy @MaybeImALizard @sufjanandy @monahanjennife4 @Suewilson91 It was a pleasure to march with you, Tamsin, along with thousands of other passionate pro-Europeans. The @MarchForRejoin once again showed that the question of the UK’s status will not be settled until we rejoin the EU. Are you listening @UKLabour?

[National Rejoin March @MarchForRejoin]

Thank You so much for coming everyone! Especially so soon after the election which burnt many of us out!

The full show, with all the speeches is being produced and uploaded this week so you can watch!

We are here, every year, until we are back in the EU. 🇬🇧���️🇪🇺
#RejoinEU

[Richard Wilson @Wilson4VC]

@mikegalsworthy beautifully articulates here why Britain’s future lies with Europe. Europe is a model of cooperation, democracy, rights and standards which more closely matches British values than can be found in any other major regional bloc in the world. Let’s embrace it.

Just @mikegalsworthy ending the debate on whether Britain's future should be in Europe 👇

Just one of the Brexit lies that 17million muppets voted for.

Brexit was wholly based on lies.

Brexit must be reversed.

[Molly Scott Cato is on Bluesky @GreenPartyMolly]

'Starmer’s swift rejection of EU priorities such as establishing a youth mobility scheme and rejoining Erasmus has gone down badly in European capitals and is taking a toll on early optimism about the new British government'

Such a shame; such a waste

Great letter in @yorkshirepost by Vice Chair of @LeedsEurope on why a Brexit inquiry is still needed

‘Labour should be honest about the extent of the harm and what it will do to address this - not blow relatively trivial sum on sticking plasters’

[Richard Wilson @Wilson4VC]

Excellent. Time for Labour to follow the Greens’ lead and reinstate #HS2 and other desperately needed transport infrastructure for the north.

[Greens for HS2 @Greens4HS2]

ICYMI: @TheGreenParty has issued a press release on #HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail.

“We need to move at great speed to shift travel away from cars and flights to public transport. HS2, in full, can play an important role in achieving this shift.”

'Brexit’s worse than Labour’s ever admitted. It failed. You can’t “make it work”. Saying so now - even if it wouldn’t while in opposition - would enhance our Government’s credibility on this issue.' Our latest letter in the @yorkshirepost https://t.co/6g0K4LygUN

Look what we're up to this week!

It's the Westmorland Show on the 11th/12th & we're joining our Cumbrian friends on the @Euromove
stall.

We'll be asking visitors their opinions on Brexit & how we fix the UK.

Come along if you're in the area!

I'll be there...Where will you be?

[Peter Fane @PeterFane5]

@LeftRIgnorant @rob123446 The question at this stage is whether UK rejoins single market. There is clear majority support (55-60%) for that in polls, and a new poll shows over 70% of those who voted Labour would support it. UK can rejoin EEA & SM in this parliament, no need for referendum, Art 49 or €.

[Richard Wilson @Wilson4VC]

@JayMitchinson @sorelaboursbath You probably ought to take a time out at this point James. You are at risk of embarrassing yourself.

Support the European Movement UK's call for an inquiry into Brexit. Write to your MP here: https://t.co/gm4zJbV99W

'The European Movement, which is dedicated to overturning what it describes as the “calamity of Brexit,” said that while it welcomes the new government’s stated desire to improve our relationship with Europe, actions are required and not words.”' #erasmus https://t.co/6162Vh8G40

[Leeds for Europe (now on Bluesky) 🇪🇺🇺🇦 @LeedsEurope]

If Brexit was a good idea Keir Starmer would not have to make it work; he could just list the benefits.

[Richard Wilson @Wilson4VC]

Great news. I was proud to vote for this change in Green Party policy. Supporting clean public transport to get people off planes & out of cars into trains. Supporting public investment in the north of England to revitalise and modernise this long neglected part of the country.

[Bradford Green Party @bradfordgreens]

🚆 The Green Party reverses its opposition to building HS2 and backs Northern Powerhouse Rail, a high-speed rail line from Liverpool to Manchester and onwards to #Bradford and Leeds.
