"Mr President, creativity and collaboration across borders are even more important in these days of extreme nationalism and xenophobia. The arts and culture touch us all as human beings, providing a unique and powerful means to change hearts and minds, to promote self-confidence and community cohesion, and to help people live together as good neighbours in an increasingly complex and frightening world.
The great city of Liverpool in my Northwest England constituency, a diverse city built on migrant labour by the way, was saved from obscurity through its designation as a Capital of Culture in 2008, delivering a world-class programme with a lasting legacy, contributing to the local tourism economy and its wealth of entrepreneurs. I can tell you, as somebody who worked in the arts before politics, that the Creative Europe programme, including in its previous incarnation, has been and still is of great interest to British artists and arts organisations, and that the tragedy of Brexit was not the choice of the people of Liverpool nor the wish of the wider arts and media community or their audiences across the whole of the UK, who voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU and work together with their neighbours."@en1
