Feck Brexit (James Sheerin)

It was great to bump into the European Movement team outside Downing Street, just after they had delivered the European Human Rights petition to Keir Starmer.

Brexit has cost UK business £37bn a year, and the Government are finally speaking out on what we’ve known all along; Brexit was a mistake.

I wasn’t told that the meeting was to discuss any complaint against me.
I haven’t been told what the complaints are.
I wasn’t allowed to attend the meeting.
The people I complained about were at the meeting and were among the decision makers.

Something’s not right

Tonight I was suspended from all
North East for Europe activity by its self-appointed committee. I had complained about the bullying behaviour of two committee members. Instead of investigating the complaint I am the one punished.

The Brexit freedom of doing a deal with US is a reflection of our isolation. Our trading relationship with EU is much more important. No sane govt will put this at risk
As the largest trading group in the world I am sure the EU will protect its members from the fascists who have taken over the USA.

The demise of True and Fair is not necessarily a bad thing. Our efforts are best concentrated in convincing mainstream parties to adopt pro-EU and pro-Rejoin policies. Politics are not single issue.

Donald Trump blames Volodymyr Zelenskyy for starting Ukraine war - a day after dozens killed in Russian missile strikes "Millions of people are dead because of three people," said Donald Trump as he blamed Vladimir Putin, Joe Biden, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

TRUMP IS NOTHING BUT A COWARD. THERE’S NO WAY HE WOULD DARE SEE THIS FOR HIMSELF. news.sky.com/story/donald...

We *must* protect the right to protest. Especially outside Parliament. Steve Bray is being targeted for his rejoin EU activism and is facing court action.
Good luck to him!

So glad to see you’ve included Newcastle, but we’re in Birmingham on 28th. We might be able to make it home via Fell in Kendal, one of our favourite bars.

He’s not conning me. I don’t buy the argument that the rich will leave and we’ll all suffer if they are taxed fairly. Attlee, one of the founders of the welfare state, said something along the lines that people would/should be proud to pay their taxes to help those less fortunate than themselves.

Please share. 🙏🏻

Extract from Israeli government website. How do you Identify Israeli Agricultural Produce? Now, more than ever - buy Israeli agricultural produce! These days of war are arduous for all of us. These days, as a result of the fighting, Israeli agriculture has fallen into the biggest crisis it has known since the establishment of the State. Therefore, now, more than ever, we call on you to mobilize to support Israeli farmers and agriculture. This is the order of the day - we urge you to prefer Israeli agricultural produce.

The Israeli government is urging its citizens to buy Israeli grown food to help the war effort. It has helpfully published information instructing Israelis how to identify and buy Israeli produce. It’s also helpful, of course, to anyone who wants to avoid it.

In the spirit such generosity from America and Israel, why not clear the illegally occupied West Bank of settlers and invite the Palestinian families, who have been refugees from their land for up to eighty years, to return?

They have been variously offered deportation to other Arab states, the “freedom” to leave and move to make their homes in Spain, Ireland and other countries who showed the strength and solidarity to oppose the illegally conducted Israeli war on the people of Gaza.

Press report. Trump latest: Netanyahu praises 'remarkable' Gaza idea - as Israeli army ordered to prepare for Palestinians to leave Israel has ordered its army to draw up a plan to enable Palestinians to leave Gaza after Donald Trump said the US could "take over" the territory and resettle its residents. International criticism has continued to mount against the proposal. Follow the latest.

Isn’t it touching that Trump and Netanyahu are so concerned to look after the best interests of the Palestinians living amongst the rubble of Gaza?
