The best way to settle the Brexit issue is for Burnham to offer parliament a FREE VOTE on whether we should apply to rejoin the Single Market. Remove all the partisanship and manifesto pledges from the issue and let MPs decide by themselves. What a bold move that would be! 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

I really enjoyed the latest season of Ted Lasso! I was expecting it to be a bit desperate after such a long break, as if they were just doing it for the money — but it was so fresh and funny! The women's team were just great! 👏👏👏 It was really cathartic see so much kindness and empathy on screen 😘🤗

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

What's great about the results in Serbia is that the candidates of the winning "Students' List" are from a range of professions that have little to do with traditional career-politics. They're professors, doctors, artists, experts etc. It sounds like real a revolution of the smart people! 😍

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

1. 🧵 Thread: One of the biggest myths about Freedom of Movement is that it is uncontrolled immigration. It isn’t. EU law gives people the freedom to move to another EU country, but it also sets out the circumstances in which they have a right to remain.

Does EU Freedom of Movement endanger British jobs? ... No, because since the Brexit ref the EU's posted Workers Directive has been reformed to protect local jobs, pay and conditions. #EUBasics 🇪🇺

1. Freedom of Movement benefits both sides. 2. It's the freedom to live, love, study, work, set-up business and retire across 30+ countries. 3. The Posted Workers Directive has been reformed, so there's no threat of EU workers undercutting British workers. 4. EU workers often only stay temporarily.

Burnham open to 'honest discussion' on EU free movement The PM said he wants a "factual" and "evidence-based debate" about returning to free movement between Britain and Europe.

I work in horticulture and in the EU at least- Organic growing has gone from being ridiculed as hippy nonsense to having a target of 25%of all farm land. But perhaps more importantly, some organic methods are now mainstream, like improving Soil Organic Matter, IPM, green matures, etc. Very positive.

Dear UK journalists, Do your job. If Farage says the NHS is broken, force him to explain how he'd fix it and what that would mean for us in practice. If he says we must leave the ECHR, pin him down on what that would mean for our rights and international treaties. Never let him just use slogans!

This is why we needed a second ref. The subject matter was just too complicated (and the level of disinformation too high) for people to make an informed choice. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

"The IMF intervened twice on their demented plan. The Bank of England rushed in to prevent a £1.5 trillion collapse of pension funds. The budget still cost pensions £75 billion. That’s £1 per second for 2,325 years. Or £3,600 per hour, every hour, since Hannibal marched his elephants over the Alps."
