PM Burnham admits Brexit did “more harm than good”! 🚨

In @yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk 📰, Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social says this watershed moment is a "unique window of opportunity."

🚪 Door is open to rethink our EU ties.

🇪🇺 It’s time to step off the sidelines! 🗳️

A scanned clipping of a published letter to the editor in the Yorkshire Evening Post on Friday, October 2, 2026, headlined "It's time to have your say" by Peter Packham, Chair, Leeds for Europe. The letter describes Prime Minister Andy Burnham's frank admission that Brexit has done the UK "more harm than good" as a watershed moment. With the PM acknowledging lost control over the economy and immigration, it argues the door is finally open to rethink the relationship with the European Union. Because the future relationship hasn't been dictated yet, the author calls this a "unique window of opportunity" and urges those minded to support rejoining to step off the sidelines and join the European Movement UK. It notes that doing so automatically joins them to their local grassroots branch, like Leeds for Europe. The letter stresses the importance of younger generations having their say, encouraging older readers to mention the under-35s youth wing, the Young European Movement, to their children and grandchildren. Finally, it notes a bonus for Yorkshire members: the European Movement is holding its national AGM in person at the Leeds City Museum on Saturday, November 14, giving local members the perfect opportunity to participate.

Currently touring the battlefields of the Western Front. Nothing quite prepares you for the sheer size of the Thiepval Memorial that has the names of 72,000 British soldiers killed in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 with no known graves.
