The New European

The New European takes great pride in its journalism, and we hope you feel the same way. Our mission is to provide a strong voice for the pro-EU viewpoint, and to counterbalance the often right-leaning narratives found in much of the UK national press. Currently, we enjoy an average weekly circulation of about 23,000 copies, with approximately 8,000 subscribers. It's remarkable to see how far we’ve come since our launch in the summer of 2016 as a temporary four-week project.

Dilettante: The blind faith of old-school photography

2 days ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | Marie Le Conte

You know, I don’t think I could actually tell you when it began. Was it in France? It might have been. There was that festival in Brittany, in the summer of 2009, and I do remember us buying some flimsy disposable cameras for the occasion. That’s when the seed was first planted into my head, I reckon. Without really meaning to, I guess I just started carrying a disposable around after that. I didn’t put much thought into it; it just happened.
Looking at borders from both sides now

5 days ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | Ivor Gaber

“I guess it was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe that first got me thinking about borders” says Lewis Baston, author of Borderlines (now just out in paperback):“The idea that there is this line on the ground and somehow, things are different on the other side always intrigued me.” In compiling this unusual and highly readable guide to the geography and history of Europe’s dividing lines, Baston travelled to 29 borders over a five-year period in order to investigate how mere lines on a...
The football club letting fans in for free

“Die einzig wahren Farben für uns sind rot und weiss!” sing the two excited young brothers, banging on the sides of the U-Bahn in Düsseldorf – “the only true colours for us are red and white!” “Liebe ist rot und Engel sind weiss!” the catchy melody continues – “love is red and angels are white!” – “Fortuna Düsseldorf!”The tram is busier than usual, even for a Fortuna home game on a sunny Saturday lunchtime.
Dinner in the Spanish blackout

The road to the hotel took me from Barcelona to Priorat. This is a hilly part of Catalunya, until now less trodden by the British, that is “about to take off”, according to the locals. The cyclists are arriving. So are too the private jets, whose pilots now land at nearby Reus instead of Barcelona, cutting the journey time from reclining leather seat to poolside lounger by more than half. Part of the attraction is the wine.
Spies, lies and Britain’s prize: We still need a Brexit inquiry

6 days ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | Steve Anglesey

After the BBC unearthed photos of three Bulgarians convicted of spying for Russia attending a Brexit committee in Westminster in 2016, two words not heard for a long time have started to resurface among some excitable Remainers: Brexit inquiry. Eager though I am to see Britain return to the European Union, the pictures hardly offer conclusive proof that Vladimir Putin bought the referendum.
The ‘Brexit benefit’ trade deal shows we’re weaker out of the EU

1 week ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | James Ball

There was no real reason for the UK to be the first country to agree a “deal” with Donald Trump to mitigate the damage of his erratic and devastating global tariffs. The UK is less affected than most countries, trades less in goods with America than others, and was exempted from many of the harshest measures.
The new Pope’s first crisis

1 week ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | Paola Totaro

On February 11, just three days before he was hospitalised with pneumonia, Pope Francis signed a special directive to fix a problem that haunted not just his papacy but that of his predecessor, Benedict – and will now be placed squarely at the feet of the newly elected Pope Leo XIV.
Apparently I hate Winston Churchill

It was my birthday, which is traditionally a time of year when I wander around, picking up books I don’t need. But this year the weather was lovely, so I took myself to the recently reopened Birmingham Museum and Gallery. I walked in, iced coffee in hand, to be told, “Sorry you can’t drink that in here”. My first summer job was at this place when I was an awkward 16-year-old who loved history. Now, I’m an awkward 23-year-old who still loves history, but is perhaps a little more cynical nowadays.
Wobbling Starmer must not turn back on the Brexit reset

1 week ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | Luke McGee

It’s not yet been a year since Keir Starmer’s historic landslide win, but Labour MPs are already worried about losing power. The disastrous May 1 election results, which saw Reform UK surge in Brexit-supporting areas and Labour lose two-thirds of the council seats it was defending as well as the Runcorn & Helsby parliamentary seat, have freaked out some of Starmer’s backbenchers – and some Cabinet ministers.
Britain has voted for chaos - again

1 week ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | Marie Le Conte

The secret to beating most video game bosses is to learn their attack patterns. They may seem daunting at first but, with a step back, you’ll realise there’s usually a rhythm to the fight: they come at you, come at you again, then take a moment to rest. This is when you must stop defending yourself and start wielding your weapon, before quickly retreating. You can think of it as a carefully choreographed dance.
