An active anti-brexit group since 2016! #FBPE #RejoinEU

A screenshot of a letter published in the Newcastle Chronicle on 24 July 2026, headlined "Burnham needs to act fast to fix Brexit," calling for urgent economic realignment with Europe.
"Brexit - what to cheer", which appeared in The Gazette (Teesside) on 15 July 2026. The writer says the expected prime ministerial handover from Sir Keir Starmer to Andy Burnham is an opportunity for a Labour Party rethink on Europe.
A letter headed “The polls show what is wanted”, which appeared in the Sunderland Echo on 10 July 2026. Polling shows that the majority of us want to rejoin the European Union. That increasingly includes one-time Leave voters, too.
Newspaper clipping from the Sunderland Echo featuring a letter titled “Unmitigated disaster”. It quotes Lord Kinnock criticising Brexit and arguing it has damaged the economy, investment and public services.
Letter headed “Seeing through the squabbles”, which appeared in the Sunderland Echo on 23 June 2026. Pointing to a TV critic column published previously about a programme on Brexit, the writer says the public has seen through the self-interested lies of Brexit advocates and now support better relations with the European Union.
A newspaper clipping of a letters column from The Chronicle, dated Wednesday, June 24, 2026. The headline reads "Adopting euro a long way behind first step". The letter argues that rejoining the Single Market and the EU are distinct steps from adopting the euro, citing Sweden, Poland, Norway, and Switzerland as examples of countries that do not use the euro but enjoy EU or Single Market benefits. It also notes a consistent 60-40% polling shift in favour of the UK rejoining the EU.
Letter headed “Wakey wakey Westminster”, which appeared in the Sunderland Echo on 10 June 2016. The writer notes that a petition on Parliament’s websites has secured 100,000 signatures, and so is likely to be debated by MPs. Readers are urged to write to their constituency MP about the petition, reminding them of the harm Brexit is doing economically.
Letter headed "Labour leadership not main concern", which appeared in the The Gazette (Teesside) on 13 May 2026. The writer argues discussions surrounding the Labour leadership and Sir Keir Starmer's future are a distraction from need to improve the party's policy approach to Europe and rebuild relations with our European neighbours.
A newspaper clipping from The Gazette (Teesside) dated Wednesday, April 29, 2026. The headline is "Brexit anniversary opportunity for PM". The letter argues that with the 10th anniversary of the referendum approaching and polls showing 53% back rejoining, Keir Starmer should adopt a pro-European stance. It notes that the "heady promises" of Leave have failed to land.
Newspaper clipping from Newcastle’s The Journal (8 April 2026) titled “Has Trump killed Brexit?” The letter argues that post-Brexit hopes for a strong US trade relationship have not materialised, and that the UK may benefit from rebuilding closer ties with Europe, which is seen as more stable and aligned with British interests.
