Changing UK law without changing the Convention itself simply moves disputes to Strasbourg - but that means the rich get a big advantage over most UK citizens.

I donโt understand immunology, vaccinology, or how to interpret studies. But I'm not so stupid that I think mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer.
Hope this helps!

I had a little panic then as I don't always buy a return ticket until I know when I'm coming back.
Then I remembered I'm an EU citizen.
Cool no?
The UK steel industry is in distress โฆ.. Letโs be clear if the UK had not left the single market and customs union the steel industry would not be subjected to EU tarrifs โฆ but #r4today wonโt mention the greatest act of economic self harm #Brexit @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Oh no, not like *that*.
so nothing delivered
more empty promises
This really needs to be said and understood. What makes it worse, if possible, is that it is not coming out of any genuine crisis or emergency. It is a deliberate attempt to whip up anger and grievance in order to capitalise upon it & in Jenrick's case purely to advance his leadership ambitions.

Let me get this straight...
You changed the law so that hundreds of people would be arrested for holding placards, and now you're blaming those people for wasting police resources?
Strange that he chooses to live in an area that is 99%+ white isn't it?
07.10.2025 10:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0TCA did not remove tariffs on UK steel. It did introduce a quota system for tariff free steel trade (wih everything above the quota subject to tariffs). The EU proposal seems to be to significantly cut the quota and also increase the tariff rate on steel above the quota. All permitted under the TCA.

She's violating our civil liberties and the right to protest โ all while supporting the flow of arms to the apartheid genocidal state of Israel. I hope the ministerial car was worth throwing Palestinians under the bus. Shame on her.
