A statement from our Director @anandMenon1 on the future of UK in a Changing Europe.

ALT Our funders, the Economic and Social Science Research Council (ESRC), have decided not to continue funding UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) when our current grant ends in April 2025. Clearly, we hoped – and strived – for another outcome. I would like to begin by thanking the ESRC for their support for over a decade. It has been a pleasure working with the staff there. Not only that, but the initial decision to fund a public-facing initiative charged with providing impartial information about one of the most polarised debates of recent times demonstrated a significant amount of courage.

🇬🇧 🗳️ The UK #GeneralElection2024 day is upon us and I am thrilled to share my contribution for @ECPR_TheLoop on the (non)issue of #Brexit in the election campaign.

🇬🇧 Compared with the 2019 election, #Brexit is near-invisible in the UK 🗳️ #GE2024 campaign
🇪🇺 @MonikaMeislova of @MUNI_FSS @EuropeLimits argues the main political parties' deafening silence on the issue is damaging the UK’s interests
