This week we’re covering arguably the most important question in British foreign policy: our relationship with Europe and, specifically - what the circumstances and process might be for Britain to rejoin the EU.

Nobody thinks this is an easy issue, or something that can be achieved quickly. But it’s something that everyone with any sense of a European identity must see as a fundamental priority that Britain needs to get started with. And it’s something that almost no mainstream national politician wants to talk about.

These are all questions that I want to examine in a series of episodes of Behind the Lines - Rejoiniacs

For The first of these, who better to speak to than the leader of the European Movement itself, Dr Mike Galsworthy - a scientist, campaigner and passionate European. We cover a lot of ground and we started with the impact of Brexit on science - Mike’s professional calling, before moving on to discuss the future and how Britain might think about reversing Brexit and rejoining the EU.
