Episode description:
Richard Morley, head of the UK’s Rejoin Party, joins Gunther Fehlinger to argue that the United Kingdom should return to the European Union as fast as possible. They discuss the perceived failure of key Brexit promises (trade, prosperity, and the “special relationship” with the US), the impact on small businesses, and the loss of opportunities for young people (including Erasmus and mobility). Morley also frames rejoining as part of a broader push for international cooperation on security, climate change, migration, and AI—backing deeper EU integration, including joining the euro and Schengen.
