Moving us closer to Europe
 

Even Europe’s far-right firebrands seem to sense Brexit is a disaster.

When William Keegan met the Dutch politician Geert Wilders years ago, he was set on the Netherlands leaving the EU. Now he too would rather stay in the EU.

Embrace Erasmus

Let’s get Staffordshire back into Erasmus+

Erasmus+ gave young people in Staffordshire the chance to study, work and travel across Europe creating countless opportunities for young people, as well as bringing talent from other countries into our universities and workplaces.

Being outside Erasmus+ puts our country, and our young people, at a disadvantage. Sign our petition calling on the Government to open negotiations to re-enter the Erasmus+ programme. #bringbackerasmus
