Brexit demo

Marking the 10th anniversary of the Brexit Referendum

June 2026

On Saturday 20th June in London, there will be another National Rejoin March: https://marchforrejoin.co.uk/nrmiv 
This is not a Lib Dem organised event, and you can simply turn up, but a group of pro-Europeans usually go up from Canterbury by train.  If you would like to go with a group, please contact Jane.

On Tuesday 23rd June in Canterbury, anyone wishing to get together to reflect on 10 years of Brexit, to reminisce about lost EU passports and perhaps plan our Lib Dem path back - please contact Jane.
