As Europe faces mounting threats to its core values, the UK’s relationship with the EU takes on renewed significance. Brexit may have formally separated the UK from the European Union, but the shared challenges confronting the continent demand cooperation rather than division. In the face of Russian aggression and rising authoritarianism, there is an urgent need for solidarity in defending not just borders, but the principles that underpin a free and open society. How the UK and EU choose to engage with one another going forward will shape the strength and resilience of Europe as a whole.
In the 16th episode of This Time Tomorrow, Benni and Omri speak with Mike Galsworthy, founder of Scientists for EU and a leading voice in the pro-European movement in the UK. They discuss why the Leave vote won the Brexit referendum, what pro-European campaigners can learn from the experience, and why re-engagement with Europe matters now more than ever.
