Molly said: “Empty shelves, empty pumps, empty pockets. Brexit isn’t working. I will help to build the evidence of Brexit’s failure and take it to the people of the UK, making the case for rebuilding our close relationship with Europe.”

The European Movement is rapidly expanding its membership and building a strong base among people who still value their identity as proud Europeans.

Molly added: “We are proud of how far we’ve come, but we cannot stop here. We must grow bigger and faster to transform this country and our relationship with the rest of Europe. Our members from all walks of life – all proud to be European – can be the tide that sweeps this incompetent and uncaring hard Brexit project out of power. We can win justice on the issues we fight on – from trade and the environment, to citizens’ rights and Erasmus+, and so much more.”

The post Stroud’s Molly Scott Cato elected to senior post at anti-Brexit European Movement appeared first on Stroud District Green Party.

The Green Party’s spokesperson on Brexit and a prominent Remain campaigner, Molly will now be part of a campaign to address the failing’s of the government’s Brexit deal, which has harmed the livelihoods of millions of Britons.

Former MEP Molly said: “Churchill founded the European Movement to bring Britain and continental Europe closer together – socially, economically and politically – after the horrors of the Second World War and the Holocaust. We have a duty to seek to do the same again after the experience of COVID19 and Brexit, faced with the twin emergencies of climate change and a global slump.

“We will campaign strongly to put right the immediate failings of Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal. The resulting chaos has obstructed international trade for exporters and financial and business services companies in Stroud and elsewhere, it has made it harder for people in the creative industries to work in the EU, and it has prevented students from going on exchange visits. Even people who voted for Brexit had no idea they were voting for these damaging policies and we need need to change them as soon as possible.”
