European Movement UK has confirmed its new leadership line-up following elections announced at Saturday’s AGM in Oxford.

Mike Galsworthy has been re-elected as Chair for a further two years, joined by newly elected Vice-Chairs Molly Scott Cato and Gayle Darlington-Shaw. The trio shared a short message with members at the AGM, which brought together supporters from across the country.

"You can feel politically that things are changing, and this is going to involve everyone," said Galsworthy.

“Now it's about capitalising that Labour is now accepting the economic damage of Brexit,” added Scott Cato said, "and about countering Reform."

"We're actively growing the movement. We're campaigning in Westminster, in communities, online and lots of people are joining us," added new Vice-Chair, Darlington-Shaw.

The full election results are available here. Thank you to all those who stood for roles and who took part in the vote.

With the new Board and National Council now in place, our focus is on the mission ahead: challenging the ongoing impact of Brexit and championing a positive, European future for the UK.
