Petition: Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there ...

Currently at 85,201... I know these things have no effect other than to irritate - but that's reason enough.

Football is for the fans. Not you fans who go to games lol don't be ridiculous and selfish. Now get to Portsmouth for mid morning on a Sunday and make an atmosphere so it sounds good on TV.

Number of Britons who think Brexit was right decision hits new low - YouGov poll On the five-year anniversary of Britainโ€™s EU exit, new YouGov polling lays bare damning public sentiment on the decision

Just 30% say it was right for the UK to leave the EU, compared to 55% who say it was wrong. This is the lowest proportion of the public saying that it was right to vote to leave since the polls began asking this question in the aftermath of the referendum.

From now on, if anyone tells you there's no majority for rejoining the Single Market and getting EU Freedom of Movement back, they're lying. ... ๐Ÿ‘‡

We need an urgent inquiry in the UK into foreign interference in our politics & media.

โ€ฆone which needs to advise rules for Parliament to enact before the next General Election hits.

Is Elon Musk Planning To Make A 'F*** You Starmer' $100 Million Donation To Reform UK? The tech billionaire has been at war with the PM for months.

I mean this obviously can't stand. You can't have a foreign extremist, who used social media to encourage & facilitate far-right violence, plough huge donations to his favoured British political party.

In 2023 BBC News reported that Brexit is the reason why the Vauxhall plant may close down costing 1,500 jobs

In 2024, there's little mention of Brexit being the reason why it's closing down. Why?

Welcome to the FBPE movement - FBPE - Follow Back pro EU FBPE is a non-profit movement. A network of all those across Europe who support the EU & fight political extremism: #FollowBackProEU and the acronym #FBPE.

#FBPE is not a cheap tool to get more followers; it's a sign of solidarity among progressives in their fight against populism & hatred.

We support the EU and democratic values and cooperate with other movements.

Ultimately, it's not the hashtag but the content of one's timeline that is important.
