Since none of the Greens have raised this, I will

That's bollocks

If this govt were Net Zero serious they wouldn't prioritise trade agreements across the globe at the expense of our own continent.

They wouldn't be ignoring the EU single market for energy & wouldn't be undertaking deregulation.

The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov’s treatment of trans people may breach human rights law.

This must be a wake up call.

We’ve seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years.

Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people.

There is "no easy paths" for the UK that allows EU cake without foreigners "because the EU never allows them for 3rd countries"

The prefered method of integrating 3rd countries into EU structures is the EEA 3rd pillar within an AA.

FoM is a problem for some it seems.

SMEs within the UK (such as me) can't complete with SMEs in France that export to Northern Ireland let alone anywhere else.

Everytime we ask Tory / Reform / Labour / LibDem (in Scotland) representatives for solutions all we get is silence?

You are the barrier.

I spent over five years explaining to Thangam in Bristol Central why her policy for musicians touring was undeliverable outside the single market and customs.

She refused to listen, added it to the manifesto and got lots of people to vote for it.

It is however no closer to being deliverable.

The bbc focussing on what the ceasefire means for the hostages way more than what it means for Gazans, again seeing that disproportionately we’ve become accustomed to for years, this isn’t new, and it’s certainly not ok

This conversation.

Thank you, #BBCWest / #BBCBristol - it's good to see you can still do it.

What UK politicians are doing for their own tribes (Labour, Reform, Tories mostly but also the LibDems, Greens & SNP) is use ignorance as a weapon.

What Labour, Reform & Tory politicians have done in this case is put problems in the 'too difficult to fix' box and use racism / xenophobia as policy.

Who voted in the last general election against Freedom of movement and secure borders via EU security databases?

Thus, also not giving EU citizens here within the UK protection from being classed as a criminal and deported.

Was that you by any chance?

WTO rules define borders.

Reform / Tory and Labour supporters insisted on these borders because they don't like foreigners.

You are not interested in criminals.
You are only interested in deporting foreigners.

If you were interested in strong borders and preventing known criminals from entering the UK then the EU security databases would be a priority.

If there is a strong criminal case nobody would be paid to leave.

This is a xenophobic policy that reinforces the ingrained european view of the British.

You don't like FoM because you don't like foreigners and usually Romainians.

This is govt policy that reinforces your xenophobic prejudices while not fixing anything & making international relations harder.

An association agreement with access to the single market and customs is the preferred way to integrate a 3rd country into EU structures and build up the economy for potential candidate countries.

That has taken other countries about two years.

Foreign criminals do hide in the UK because Tories and Labour removed UK access to EU databases.

This article is about values.

"foreign criminals" are being rounded up by Trump and this Labour government while people in this article were paid to leave.

Europe see the British blaming Romanians.

Nobody in 2014 wanted to remove rights from our neighbours.

The vote was to gain rights

The Brexit vote was to remove rights from our neighbours.
Labour reinforced this by ruling out FoM / protection for our neighbours.

Thus, more deportations, while europe watches.

EU citizen who applied for pre-settled status is to be deported from Scotland Greek Cypriot Costa Koushiappis to be removed from UK even though his application is pending with Home Office

The problem we have is that the Scottish government would like better relations while the Westminster government refuse to implement the TCA for citizens rights and border checks while deporting EU nations for no real reason.

Thus, everything is on hold.

What we have are representatives of Scotland visiting the EU parliament and meeting with MEPs in order to keep dialog and contacts ongoing.

Meanwhile, the Westminster Labour govt and their lackeys poke fun at such events while deporting citizens of the countries they want better relationships with.

Tactical voting for Labour is pretty much over.

Labour seats in the locals next year are going to be wiped out with Labour seats going to the Greens and LibDems.

Expect lots of new Green and LibDems councilors.

Scotland was taken out of the EU due to the entitlement and exceptionalism that you display here.

If people like you don't change then Scotland will remain a non EU member.

You and people like you are the problem here.

We *must* take what the club *owners* say *seriously*.

The exceptionalists have England to play with.

Scotland *must* be a serious country.
