Protesters march on parliament demanding Britain rejoins the European Union

• Demonstrators marked the 10th anniversary of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union with a march through central London, calling for the country to rejoin the bloc.
• An estimated 1,500 people gathered at Temple station and proceeded to Parliament Square, waving EU flags and displaying messages such as “We Want Our Star Back” and “Citizen of Europe”.
• Lord Kinnock, a former Labour leader, branded Brexit an ‘unmitigated, unprecedented, continuing disaster’, citing ‘huge, stupendous’ economic damage and a drastically altered international standing for the UK.
• Protesters highlighted personal and professional impacts, including a newlywed struggling to relocate to Germany and a theoretical physicist noting significant losses in European funding and difficulties in recruiting researchers due to freedom of movement restrictions.
• Organisers and participants expressed a strong desire for the UK to fully rejoin the EU, arguing that the past decade has unequivocally demonstrated Brexit’s negative consequences across the economy, trade, and fundamental rights.
