EU Citizenship Movement - Home In April 2020 we brought a case in the EU Court of Justice since advice from a large number of lawyers had suggested that the blanket removal of EU Citizenship from as many as 67 million UK EU Citizens against their will would be unlawful under EU law. Rather than consider the case, the EU Court eventually denied us a Hearing in June 2023. Our conclusion was that the Court was essentially, in this case, influenced by politics rather than law, so in October 2023 we applied to the European Court of Human Rights. Our case is now moving slowly through that Court.

Do come and join us - we are now up to ~ 150,000 Members.
Help us get to 1 million !

So Reform has no problem with a candidate who doesn't think Rishi Sunak is English, and effectively endorsed the neo-Nazis of the AfD in the last German election.

Todayโ€™s #HolocaustRemembranceDay. Listen to these Holocaust survivors. Theyโ€™ve come together to send you a message that you wonโ€™t be able to forget.

Iโ€™d love to say never again, but itโ€™s happening. Here, in the fucken USA.

Open your eyes. Stop this ๐Ÿ’ฉ now.

Minnesota lawyers argue Trumpโ€™s ICE invasion is โ€˜extortingโ€™ state for voter rolls demands โ€œItโ€™s a shakedown letter,โ€ one attorney said of Attorney General Bondi's list of demands to the state.

๐ŸšจBREAKING: Minnesota state attorneys alleged in a court hearing that Donald Trump and the Department of Justice are attempting to force the state to surrender its sovereignty โ€” in particular, its control over elections โ€” through the massive federal immigration operation in the Twin Cities region.

Alex Prettiโ€™s sister speaks out, as Trump sends border czar to Minneapolis The White House deployed to Minneapolis border czar Tom Homan, who is taking over from Greg Bovino, the commander of U.S. Border Patrol.

The sister of Alex Pretti issued a statement memorializing her brother and condemning โ€œdisgusting liesโ€ she said had been told about him since his fatal shooting by Border Patrol in Minneapolis on Saturday.

New YouGov poll gives Reform its lowest lead since last April.

RFM: 25% (+1)
LAB: 21% (+2)
CON: 17% (-1)
GRN: 16% (-1)
LDM: 14% (=)

Looks like hoovering up a series of deeply unpopular, disgraced former Conservative ministers isn't quite the massive vote winning strategy that was predicted

Reform's housing policy: own a lot of them For a party taking on the elite, Reform's senior politicians seem to own an awful lot of property

Trump shenanigans contributing to Iceland decision to hold a referendum on joining the European Union.
It will be the 11th non-EU country to apply to join.
If this continues, Britain will be almost alone in Europe in being outside the EU, isolated, poorer and weaker.

Every visa requirement is a barrier. Every time limit is a warning. Freedom of Movement meant not having to live your life counting days.

If Brexit had happened to bankers, hedge funds, or newspaper owners, it would have been reversed within months.

It happened to migrants, students, carers, artists, and ordinary people โ€”
so we were told to โ€œmove onโ€.

Brexit wasnโ€™t about leaving the EU.
It was about teaching people that losing rights is normal,
that borders are destiny,
and that demanding better makes you ungrateful.

That lesson is still being enforced.

There is no clear decision to leave the EU. It is arguable that we haven't left legally.
