National Rejoin March III - We didn't manage to quite fill our coach, but we certainly managed to make our presence felt in a noisy but peaceful march and rally in London on September 28, 2024.
- The third National Rejoin March was confirmed at quite short notice, but even so, it attracted around 15,000 marchers and a highly praised rally in Parliament Square.
- See the speeches and rally here - and start planning for next time!
- Dorset for Europe is a partner of National Rejoin March.

ReadWatch - Peter Foster from Financial Times: What can Labour really do about Brexit? Hosted by North Herts for Europe. The talk is here https://youtu.be/y4xKQVsvPOU and the discussion session here https://youtu.be/jkuZzVe6A7c . Post-event comment is divided about whether the views expressed were realistic (Foster’s evidence that Brexit cannot be made to work is rigorous and overwhelming) or just depressing (his opinion that Labour cannot be induced to change tack even to avoid economic shipwreck)!
