Speakers for the National Rejoin March taking place on Saturday 23rd September in London have been announced – and they do not disappoint.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to descend on the capital this month to campaign for a re-think on the decision to exit the European Union.
The government announced that the UK will rejoin the EU’s flagship Horizon programme this week after Britain was frozen out of the £85 billion science research programme following post-Brexit disputes.
Some have interpreted the move as the first step back towards a fully reintegrated United Kingdom with the EU community, although a number of significant hurdles stand in the way before that is achieved.
A protest is to be held in Parliament Square on 23rd September 2023, with tens of thousands of people expected to show up.
The full list of speakers has now been announced, and it’s quite the line-up!
Here’s who will be speaking:
- AC Grayling
- Ceira Casey
- Femi Oluwole
- Gina Miller
- Guy Verhofstadt
- Lisa Burton
- Liz Webster
- Madeleina Kay
- Mike Galsworthy
