Behind every right lies a person who needs it - a whistleblower silenced, a victim denied justice, a refugee turned away. The ECHR gives those people a voice. To withdraw would be to decide that some lives no longer deserve protection.

Human rights law exists to protect people when power fails them. Walking away from that protection would leave the most vulnerable exposed.

We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK’s malaise, and it’s no use denying it

Even Brexiters are beginning to acknowledge the damage Brexit has done to the economy, and Westminster needs to catch up. Facing reality is the first step towards repairing the harm and rebuilding a serious relationship with Europe.

At Birmingham’s Christmas Market, traders are telling the same story to us again and again. Behind the lights and stalls, small businesses are still paying the price of Brexit, with business now harder, slower and more expensive.

The EU-UK summit in May changed the situation. Defence cooperation is back on the table. The breakthrough gives Britain a route back into European defence planning. We would be reckless not to take it.

Our defence and security strengthens when we work with Europe. Now more than ever it’s necessary that we work in cooperation with our European neighbours, not in isolation.

Six months on from the UK-EU Summit – where are we now? Joe Meighan assesses progress made since May and asks, when will the substance catch up with the rhetoric?

“Half a year on, the mood music has held. The progress has not”

Rachel Reeves is studiously ignoring the cause of Britain’s woes: the Brexit-shaped hole in its roof | Jonathan Freedland The autumn budget will mop up some damage, but the true source of the economic crisis is clear. The government should now fix it – tragically, it won’t, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

The Government have recognised the damage caused by Brexit, yet they are failing to fix it. Delay in action is pushing our country further into despair, and will do so until we begin to repair our relationship with Europe.

“Touring artists, creative professionals, and cultural organisations face barriers that were unimaginable before Brexit – barriers that restrict mobility, increase costs, and diminish Wales' cultural presence on the international stage."

Brexit didn’t just close borders, it closed doors for Wales' artists and cultural voices. Touring and collaboration are now tangled in red tape, silencing Welsh voices across the world 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @walesforeurope.bsky.social

British farmers need a trading system that rewards quality and stability, and cooperation with our European partners offers that foundation - reducing costs and restoring fairness to cross-border trade. The path to stronger standards lies in partnership, not isolation.

UK economic growth slows to 0.1% in final figures before Budget Car production fell sharply after the summer's Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack; meanwhile Rachel Reeves says "there's more to do to build an economy that works".

The country's economy has seen slower than expected growth of 0.1%, and Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said there's "more to do to build an economy that works". Perhaps we could start by working more with the EU?
