Emma Jane voted leave, in this episode she chats to our host Chris about the reasons why and how she needed up running to be an anti brexit MEP and her recent trip to Brussels with fellow #RemainerNow

This week we bring you a recording of our event that we held in Bournemouth earlier in September. As well as five RemainerNow speakers we also had Chuka Umunna MP, Tom Brake MP, Caroline Voaden MEP, Molly Scott Cato MEP and Martin Horwood MEP. 

Do give it a listen, even if in chunks.

In this week's episode Chris chats to Karen.

She tried to get information during the EU referendum but struggled to find positive reason to stay in the EU. As a result she was on the fence but plumped for leave as it seemed more positive a choice.

She started to change her mind when article 50 was triggered with no plan and now she is a passionate #RemainerNow who hates it when brexiteers include her in the 17.4m.

Do listen to her telling her story.

This week, in an episode recorded before parliament returned after the summer (and the chaos that led to) Lisa talks to Chris about her original leave vote due to anger at austerity and the need to help the NHS to someone who is now a very active anti Brexit campaigner.

In the podcast, Lisa mentions an article she wrote for us, that can be read here: https://vip.politicsmeanspolitics.com/2019/03/20/i-voted-leave-in-2016-i-really-have-been-very-stupid/

She also mentions her speech at a Leeds PeoplesVote rally, you can watch that here: https://youtu.be/fImoj1PEApM

Thanks to Lisa for speaking out.

This week Chris chats to Mike, a courier from Kent. He had little interest in free movement in 2016 and was fed up with austerity and voted leave. However, a lot has changed in 3 years and he has now completely flipped and now wants further EU integration.

He tells his story.

Do give it a listen.

This week our host Chris chats to Callum.

Callum was 17 at the EU referendum but he actively campaigned for Vote Leave. He has now changed his mind and is an active #RemainerNow and he tells his story here.

Callum mentions an article he wrote and an appearance on channel 4. These can be found below.

This week Chris chats to Claire from Dudley. She tells us how Facebook influenced her 2016 vote and then it was only 2 years later where she got to learn more from different news sources that she changed her mind.

She is a Remainernow fighting brexit in many ways. Listen to her story.
