Business for Britain is a eurosceptic campaign group which seeks renegotiation of the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. The campaign was founded in April 2013, by five hundred business leaders, including Phones 4u co founder John Caudwell and former Marks & Spencer chairman Stuart Rose.[6] The group published non peer reviewed and misleading research on the voting record of the United Kingdom in the European Parliament in 2014, called Measuring Britain’s influence in the Council of Ministers.[7] In October 2015, the Business for Britain Board unanimously decided to support the Vote Leave Campaign.[8][9] (until 7 October 2015)[10]

Civitas is a think tank that describes itself as "classical liberal" and "non-partisan". The Times and The Daily Telegraph have described it as a "right-of-centre think-tank".[11][12] Its director David G. Green writes occasionally in The Daily Telegraph and its deputy director Anastasia de Waal frequently contributes to The Guardian's "Comment is free" section.[13] The Times has described Civitas as an ally of former Education Secretary Michael Gove.[11] It is opposed to green regulations, to legislation designed to reduce climate change, and to greater reliance on renewable energy.[14][15]

The European Foundation is a Eurosceptic think tank based in the United Kingdom. It is chaired by Bill Cash, a British Conservative MP. The organisation produces the European Journal.

Global Vision is a British eurosceptic campaign group.[16] It is an independent, not-for-profit group, with no explicit links with any political party.[17] The "Parliamentary Friends of Global Vision" cross-party group has 24 Members of Parliament, all of whom are Conservatives, two Members of the European Parliament, both of whom are Conservatives, and 17 Representative peers, of whom ten are Conservative, six are cross-benchers, and one is independent Labour.[18]

The Global Warming Policy Foundation is a lobby group in the United Kingdom whose stated aims are to challenge "extremely damaging and harmful policies" envisaged by governments to mitigate anthropogenic global warming.[19] The GWPF as well as some of its prominent members have been characterized as promoting climate change denial.[20][21] In 2014, when the Charity Commission ruled that the GWPF had breached rules on impartiality, a non-charitable organisation called the "Global Warming Policy Forum" was created as a wholly owned subsidiary, to do lobbying that a charity could not. The GWPF website carries an array of articles "sceptical" of scientific findings of anthropogenic global warming and its impacts.

Leave Means Leave was a pro-Brexit,[22] Eurosceptic political pressure group organisation that campaigned and lobbied[23] for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union following the 'Leave' result of the EU referendum on 23 June 2016.

Migration Watch UK is a British think-tank[24][25][26][27] and campaign group[28][29][30][31][32] which argues for lower immigration into the United Kingdom.[33][34][35] Founded in 2001, the group believes that international migration places undue demand on limited resources and that the current level of immigration is not sustainable.[36][37]

New Culture Forum is a think tank whose mission is described as "challenging the cultural orthodoxies dominant in the media, academia, education, and British culture in its widest sense."

The Taxpayer's Alliance is a right-wing pressure group in the United Kingdom formed in 2004 to campaign for a low tax society. The group had about 18,000 registered supporters as of 2008,[38] and claimed to have 55,000 by September 2010 although it has been suggested that a vast majority of these supporters who do not contribute financially or engage in campaigning were simply signed up to a mailing list. Major questions have been raised regarding the funding of the organisation with speculation that significant contributions have been received from overseas. The TaxPayers' Alliance was given the lowest possible grade for Think Tank financial transparency by Who Funds You, a British project that seeks to rate and promote transparency of funding sources of think tanks.[39] The TaxPayers' Alliance has also had its links to other Eurosceptic think tanks based at 55 Tufton Street questioned.[40]
