Queen Elizabeth II was a Remainer #RejoinEU

In the upcoming book from former royal correspondent Valentine Low, it is alleged the Queen told a senior minister three months before the 2016 Brexit referendum: ‘We shouldn’t leave the EU.’

New Episode tomorrow, keep an eye out where ever you stream your podcasts 📻🎧🎙️📰

BBC Reform (formerly the Today programme) is currently promoting the suspension or amendment of the UK's Membership of the ECHR (which would means joining that special club of Russia and Belarus).
Always worth repeating
'What has the ECHR ever done for us?'

After 17 detainees and the whole day of confrontation by the crackdown police, we now see thugs armed with batons deployed at the site where they evict around 200 families of Internally Displaced Persons…

The end of this Russian regime will most likely be very ugly.

Via Press Gazette: BBC 5 Live presenter Nihal Arthanayake has resigned from the broadcaster, saying: "I do feel that the BBC is in an existential crisis, especially BBC News" and it has failed to "communicate truth and hold power to account" on Israel and Gaza.

Petition: Apply for the UK to rejoin the EU fully - do not just 'reset' the relationship I think the UK needs to rejoin the EU fully for maximum economic benefit and to restore influence rather than merely 'reset' relations.

It’s driven me round the bend since 2016. As an economist I saw Brexit as a mad idea. Still trying to push Rejoin. Our current petition could use a push if you want to help.
Tell our Government we want to 'Rejoin not reset'

The US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal

The UK government claims it wants a reset with the EU:
✅ Sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) deal
✅ Fewer checks
✅ Easier trade

But behind the scenes, it’s signing a deregulation pact with the US — using Henry VIII powers to bypass Parliament and rip up food standards.

The youth mobility scheme is just the start of a Brexit reversal Cooper is reported to be pressing for EU citizens using such a scheme to be limited to twelve months in Britain

"It is easy to argue in favour of a youth mobility scheme"
From the Spectator (which, surprise surprise is not fully supportive). Behind a paywall but you can read just enough to get the gist.
We definitely hope that it is the start of a reversal of Brexit...
