Leeds for Europe

He is just a particularly nasty troll who gets very aggressive when you debunk one of his “benefits” and then organises a pile on.

This letter appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 4 October 2025. The writer argues the costs to Britain of being in the European Union were far outweighed by the economic benefits.

#EU membership was a great investment for the UK, says this Hull Daily Mail letter. We were influential in making it the success it is today - including the #SingleMarket. We'll be influential again when we 💙 #RejoinEU 💛. What do you miss most?

This letter appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 4 October 2025. Jas Olak, Vice Chair of Leeds for Europe, highlights an example of a firm from Yorkshire setting up a warehouse in the Netherlands. Many companies have moved production or warehousing to EU countries as a consequence of Brexit trade barriers.

#Yorkshire firm shifting trade to #EU post- #Brexit flagged by Vice Chair @jazz072.bsky.social in @yorkshirepost.co.uk 📉

Maybe be avoided if #Labour backed #SingleMarket access - @europeanmovement.co.uk found most employers want this 📈

This letter appeared in the Telegraph & Argus (Bradford) on 3 October 2025. The writer argues that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer did deliver a conference speech this week that would be welcomed by his party's pro-Europeans. But it must continue to confront, not copy, Nigel Farage and Reform UK.

Did #Labour leader #Starmer cheer up his party's #pro-EU wing with this week's conference speech? This @bradfordtanda.bsky.social letter says ✅- despite past disappointments.
Don't copy #Farage:
"Better for Labour & Britain if challenge #ReformUK's toxic agenda - including #Brexit."

#RejoinEU 👇

Above letter describes recent far-right London ‘Tommy Robinson’ protest as “worst in a decade”. “We all have right to freedom of speech - #Brexit’s only brought division & hatred”.

This letter appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 3 October 2025. The writer pushes about against the suggestion that supporters of rejoining the European Union are to blame for disruption in British politics.

Blaming ‘Remainers’ for disrupting politics ignores #Brexit division, Covid chaos & far-right threats, says @yorkshirepost.co.uk letter. We need to defend democracy, justice & peace “…& build new relationship with #EU”.

Nothing to do with the working time directive. That governed the hours a week employers could insist employees worked. Employees could work as long as they wanted.

Farage loses the express…

Rejoining the EEA is a good start, but there is no substitute for joining the EU as full members.

Mustn’t upset Nige eh?

Why “gently”? He should be shouting it from the rooftops.

And what experience is that?

This letter appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 30 September 2025. The writer argues that both business and the vast majority of the public - including Leave voters - want access to the European Single Market.

“We need to stop looking at votes cast nearly a decade ago and face #BrexitReality,” says second Hull Daily Mail letter.

Even former Leave voters back #UKTrade access to the #EU. Single market = less 'stifling' #Brexit red tape

@europeanmovement.co.uk findings align with CBI, IoD, NFU, TUC, etc.

This letter appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 30 September 2025. The author argues that the waving of European flags at The Last Night Of The Proms was appropriate, given that it is a joyous celebration of music - not nationalism.

“Internationalism is an important feature of #TheProms — never about promoting a nationalistic, populist UK identity”
— Hull Daily Mail letter, replying to reader triggered by #EU flags at #LastNightOfTheProms.

They told us that we had to leave the EU to take back control of our borders…that was a lie
Now they tell us that we must leave the ECHR to take back control of our borders…that is a lie

This letter appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 27 September 2025. A retired languages teacher says Brexit and Britain's departure from the European Union is discouraging young people from learning foreign languages.

📣A retired French & Spanish teacher writes in @yorkshirepost.co.uk 📰: " #Brexit removed the option to work freely in #EU - students lost a key reason to study languages."

The case against digital ID cards: imagine how a Reform government could use them | Gaby Hinsliff The civil liberties argument against giving the state more power over our lives becomes more urgent by the day – just look to Trump’s America, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Imagine how a Reform government could use ID cards. Officially they are against them, but 12 months ago Farage said there couldn’t be a Trump style round up in this country…

Leeds for Europe will be supporting Stand Up To Racism’s demo in Leeds on October 11th. Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social explains why…

This comment piece appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 25 September 2025. It takes issue with the refusal by Nigel Farage to condemn a dangerous fake paracetamol-autism link cooked up by Donald Trump.

#ReformUK Ltd's boss #Farage refuses to condemn dangerous #Trump claim linking paracetamol in pregnancy to autism. Experts: NO EVIDENCE. Farage: "Science is never settled." See below what @yorkshirepost.co.uk says. Remember when 'Dr Don' pitched bleach injections for Covid?

If #Brexit works, why 4% GDP hit, migration rise, #Erasmus dropped, NI border mess, bad trade deals, 🎵 industry hit, prices ⬆️, lost EU science funding & 🪓public services (as tax revenue ⬇️£40bn )? “Take back control” failed. Can share sources. #RejoinEU to tackle #BrexitShambles. #Labour MUST listen

From January 2026, UK businesses face an £800m hit from new EU carbon rules, with costs likely passed to consumers.

The solution is simple: align UK carbon rules with the EU to cut Brexit red tape, protect businesses and stop higher prices.

The government must act now.

These two letters appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 25 September 2025. Both call for a previous correspondent who supports Brexit to list benefits Britain has gained from its departure from the European Union.

#Brexit loyalists challenged today by 2 @yorkshirepost.co.uk readers to show us ANY benefits of leaving #EU. ✉️ 1st letter: 'Still better future for Britain & its people' - if #RejoinEU. 📆 2nd letter: Reminder of new date for next @marchforrejoin.co.uk #BrexitReality #UKPolitics 💬 What do you think?

No PCC probe into 'swan eating' story 4.15pm: The Press Complaints Commission has been branded 'disgraceful' after deciding not to force the Sun to apologise for claiming asylum seekers had poached and eaten swans. Ciar Byrne reports.

Farage claimed on @lbc.co.uk this morning that immigrants were eating Swans in the royal parks. This comes from a story in the Sun 22 years ago…which was a lie then like it is now…

“Who doesn’t like cleaner air and green energy?”…well, Nigel Farage, Richard Tice and Zia Yousuf to name three…

Reform Ltd Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire doesn’t seem to know what “party” he is in🤦‍♂️

Mick Lynch is a Brexiter…
