“The Conservatives are entirely lashed to the Brexit mast. The whole project has been a disastrous folly. This means they must constantly declare that black is white and scrabble around for non-existent Brexit ‘benefits’ “

Deputy Mayor of Dortmund, Barbara Brunsing, 4 May 2024:

'We welcome you to our city with open arms & look forward to welcoming you here in Dortmund. Your commitment to a united Europe is inspiring & shows that our shared vision of peace, freedom & co-operation is still alive.'

Now imagine how seismic it would be if Rachel Reeves had the guts to say WHY the UK economy has fallen behind to the tune of £140 billion.

Seems not. Oh, well.

We were delighted to mark this 30th anniversary in our own small way by travelling through the Channel Tunnel today on our way back from our visit to Leeds’s twin city of Dortmund!

Is anyone going to mention the real reason our country is struggling?

'Remain-voting Leeds ought to fly the flag of Europe above its public buildings…highlighting [its] outward-looking, inclusive nature and recognising the contributions many people born in other parts of Europe continue to make in our communities.' 🇪🇺yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/l…

The scenes in Georgia now are stunning. 🇬🇪 🇪🇺

For decades across our continent, the European flag has been a beacon of hope for quality of life and freedom from tyranny. What we have built continues to inspire. It’s our better future.

These young people represent a generation that has only ever known the European Union 🇪🇺

This is because 20 years ago, they were born around the time their country joined the EU, as part of its biggest ever enlargement.

How do you remember 1 May 2004? Let us know 👇

20 years ago today, 10 countries joined the EU… for freedom and opportunity, democracy and peace.

Especially in today’s world, where those values are in the defensive, never stop being a proud European !

🇪🇺✊🏻

Flying the flag for Europe.
It’s time for British cities to celebrate our European links! How about it Leeds? 🇪🇺
