23rd June marks 10th anniversary of the EU referendum.
You'd think that would be something for Farage, Reform and the big Brexit leaders to celebrate but....
Uplifting day today at @europeanmovement.co.uk at the Westminster Chapel.
Great speakers & stimulating panel debates delivered a strong sense of realistic, forward-looking optimism for UK&EU,
including:

Last week the Lib Dems said we needed to be in the Customs Union. Today they're saying Single Market. At this rate they'll join their voters (& Lab & Green ones) in supporting Membership of the EU by July. Half way houses don't turn voters on. Look at those flat lines until you get to Membership.
Today, Sir Ed Davey addressed our event, calling on Labour to scrap their red lines on the customs union and single market, so that "we can get on with properly fixing our relationship with Europe.”
The UK's future is in Europe. We can only do that if we forget the outdated boundaries of the past.
Today, we're in Westminster Chapel for our packed event 'The UK's Future in Europe', and to launch our new branding.
Couldn't make it to London? We'll be updating this thread throughout the day with highlights: make sure to check it out to keep up to date with the future of UK-EU relations.
And to close, our Chair, Dr Mike Galsworthy, @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social
Now for a panel on 'Open Futures: Values, Citizenship, and Opportunity' with Alfred Quantrill, Caroline Voaden MP @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social,

This new brand reflects our steadfast belief in Europe, and the hope and optimism that underpins our campaign. It is focused on optimism, belief, and making clear the practical benefits of a deeper partnership with the EU for all of us.
