SUMMARY:MPs debate Brexit impact on UK
DESCRIPTION:he Petitions Committee has scheduled a debate on a petition relating to the impact of the UK’s exit from the European Union. Nick Fletcher MP\, a member of the Petitions Committee\, has been asked by the Committee to open the debate. The Government will send a Minister to respond. Read the relevant petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petiti… Find petitions you agree with\, and sign them: https://petition.parliament.uk/ What are petitions debates? Petitions debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions\, and put their concerns to Government Ministers. Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on the World Health Organization treaty on pandemic prevention\, preparedness and response at the end of the debate.

SUMMARY:Labour and Europe: EMiS webinar
DESCRIPTION:Opinion polls are pointing to a majority Labour government emerging from the next UK general election in 2024/5 – and a surge in both support for rejoining the EU and regret over Brexit. \nBrexit is widely seen as a root cause of the UK’s current economic ills – and likely to blight its performance in future despite what ministers in the Sunak government say. But Labour under Keir Starmer is dead-set against reversing Brexit or even rejoining the EU single market/customs union. \nTo examine why and what Starmer and David Lammy\, shadow foreign secretary\, mean by “fixing the UK’s tarnished relationship with the EU”\, we’re joined by: \n\nDianne (Baroness) Hayter\, former shadow deputy leader in the House of Lords and co-editor of the Forgotten Tribe\, a recent book on the UK’s MEPs;\nIan Murray\, Labour MP for Edinburgh South and shadow Scottish Secretary;\nDenis MacShane\, former Labour Minister for Europe and author of Brexiternity: the Uncertain Fate of Britain.\n\nThe event will be moderated by Mark Lazarowicz\, ex-EMiS chair and former Labour MP for Edinburgh North & Leith. Please register to receive the Zoom link. \nThe event will be recorded\, you can catch up later here. \n

SUMMARY:Why the Northern Ireland Protocol is a Great British concern (London4Europe)
DESCRIPTION:Why the Northern Ireland Protocol is a Great British concern (and not for the reasons you think)\nKaty Hayward\, Professor of Political Sociology\, Queen’s University Belfast will discuss the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland that was signed as part of the UK-EU withdrawal Agreement in 2019. Katy will look at the Protocol from a slightly different perspective\, drawing on close monitoring of the Protocol’s development and implementation. She will show why the Protocol should be a concern to the public in Great Britain because of what it seeks to protect\, because of the way it has been handled\, and because what happens to it in future – for good or ill – will have implications for the whole of the United Kingdom. \nMore details and registration here.

SUMMARY:Brexit polling: beyond the numbers
DESCRIPTION:A Grassroots for Europe Webinar\nOver the course of 2022\, opinion polls have recorded a steady increase in anti-brexit sentiment.

SUMMARY:Retained EU Law Bill webinar: Caroline Lucas/Mhairi Snowden with European Movement UK
DESCRIPTION:Join the European Movement UK for a webinar to hear from veteran campaigners including Caroline Lucas MP and Mhairi Snowden from Human Rights Consortium Scotland on the risks of the Retained EU Law Bill\, and the best ways to campaign against it. \nIn the House of Commons last week\, MPs voted against amendments to delay the Retained EU Law Bill. This means that\, as it stands\, the Retained EU Law Bill will come into effect on December 31st\, 2023\, jeopardising the standards that keep us safe. \nWe don’t have much time. It’s vital that we keep working to stop this law over the coming weeks\, before it comes back to Parliament for a final vote. \nThe ‘Retained EU Law Bill Webinar’ will be an open conversation where you will have the opportunity to ask questions on ways the bill could directly impact your area. This could include workers’ rights\, environmental standards and food safety. \nWe are in the Battle for the Soul of our Country. But together we can ‘Save our Standards’ and stop the implications of Brexit from being taken further. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nCAROLINE LUCAS has been the MP for Brighton Pavilion since 2010. A leading campaigner on topics including the environment and animal rights\, Caroline is a former Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales and a former MEP for South East England. Caroline is a Vice President of the European Movement UK. \nMHAIRI SNOWDEN is Director of the Human Rights Consortium Scotland\, a network of over 170 member organisations from across civil society. They work together on projects or research on specific issues\, as well as influencing policy and law. \nMore speakers will be announced shortly. \nABOUT THE EVENT \nThe webinar is free to attend but please consider making a donation to the European Movement UK during the registration process to help us put on more events like this\, help us strengthen our campaigns\, and help us support our local grassroots groups. \nRegistrations close 1 hour before the event starts.
