Brexit 10 Years On: A Day at the European Parliament
Ten years on from the Brexit vote, Scotland’s relationship with Europe still tells a different story. While the UK voted to Leave, Scotland voted decisively to Remain—and support for EU membership has only grown stronger.
In this first episode, the IndyPodcasters join campaign groups Yes4EU and Europe for Scotland on an extraordinary trip to the European Parliament in Brussels. This is their on-the-ground overview of the day, capturing the mood, the conversations, and the connections being forged between Scottish voices, our Celtic cousins, and European institutions.
