It is time to end the special relationship with Trump Donald Trump in the White House: a relationship with a dishonest sexual predator and convicted criminal isn't a relationship. It's abuse

100% this.

Cracking read. We either have morals and pride - or we don't.

Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity are unconditional.

Our priority must now be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees.

In any negotiation, Europe must have a central role.

Petition to rejoin the EU reaches 100,000 signatures 100,000 signatures - enough to be considered for a debate by MPs in Parliament!

Robert McMaster writes in @northeastbylines.co.uk about the petition he started to rejoin the EU which now has over 100,000 signatures

This has reached 100k signatures so there will now be a parliamentary debate. No need to stop there though. Let's keep boosting it right up to when it closes on 30 April.

No other policy proposal or infrastructure investment has the potential to move the economic dial on this scale in this timeframe.

In monetary terms, if used 1-for-1, the proceeds could fund increases to the NHS capital budget for 2 yrs.

Enough of empty Brexit rhetoric. Let's fund our NHS instead.

The EU vote isn’t just about Westminster – we need grassroots campaigns too | Mike Galsworthy Europe brings big benefits for many sectors, including science. That’s why the pro-EU movement should be based in communities like yours

I wrote this on Jan 1st 2016...

Calling out the Stronger In campaign for being too monolithic and top-down - and calling for backing of pro-European grassroots initiatives.

Years later, I'm proud of the pro-European grassroots community that we've built. And I'm fully confident in our direction.

The Independent headline says 'UK community worker flying from US 'questioned for over an hour' after eVisa refusal. Smaller text below says 'Marzena Zukowska's ordeal at Chicago O'Hare airport is the latest in a series of issues facing foreign nationals using their eVisas while travelling back to the UK. POMOC branded text at the bottom says 'Link to the story in the comments'. In the background, there is a photograph of Marzena taken by Green Tangering Photography. Marz is a white non-binary person with a short haircut. They are wearing glasses.

Thank you @hollybancroft.bsky.social for shedding light on the experience our co-director Marzena Zukowska had flying home last month. This is not an isolated incident. A digital-only status means more and more people in the UK will have their rights denied:

This is crazy! Glad that you made it ok @marz.zukowska, @pomocorguk.bsky.social! The #eVisa system is flawed. With @the3million.bsky.social let's help #FixTheDigitalSystem! BTW: brilliant panel at last week's Beyond Borders talk @migrationmuseumuk, thank you! 🙏

Illegal meat on most UK High Streets, official says Post-Brexit checks are undermining efforts to keep out potentially disease-ridden meat, official says.

"Efforts to keep potentially disease-ridden meat out of the UK are being undermined by post-Brexit border checks."

Brexit is an unsustainable, enfeebled position for this country. Its frameworks simply don't work well.

UK visa policy an 'act of national self-harm’, ministers told as Lords demand review High up-front visa costs and an inflexible immigration system is putting the UK at a severe disadvantage, peers warned

The extortionate cost of visas in the UK aren't just an "act of national self-harm", it is a constant source of individual harm on those put through the system. Among some of the highest in the world, UK visa costs drive people into poverty, and destroy lives.

Nigel Farage announces 'biggest ever' rally in Birmingham amid new poll Reform UK has announced it will hold the 'biggest ever' political rally in modern British history, as it prepares for elections across the UK

Wouldn’t it be a shame if Birmingham people turned out in numbers to protest Farage’s ‘biggest ever’ rally?

We are more than a quarter of the way through the century. But NO-ONE born this century voted for Brexit.

Most people think leaving the EU was a mistake - but don't expect politicians to reopen the Brexit question Five years on, even many of those who still champion Brexit, including Nigel Farage, concede that it has "failed" - so why are the main parties afraid to tell voters they got it wrong?

🔥 “A stunning three out of four of the 18 to 25-year-olds, who mostly did not have a chance to vote in the referendum, think leaving was a mistake.”

Macron to tell Starmer his EU reset is evidence Brexit has failed French officials said to believe UK being pushed back into the EU fold after being weakened by Brexit

Starmer is "a leader humbled into returning to the EU fold because Britain has been weakened by Brexit".

Absolutely this. And it’s just not about the economics. In recent years, if someone asks ‘well what’s your plan?’, it often means their own ‘plan’ is morally unspeakable.

Brexit cheerleaders have gone awfully quiet – so let me remind you what they did to Britain If we do talk about it, we start to recognise the gulf between their words and reality

When something is a success, people like to associate themselves with it. So it's noticeable how quiet the Brexiters are.
