I have multiple sclerosis. I am a risk consultant and tend to mitigate risks. I have therefore joined and been accepted by Dignitas and if ever life is unacceptable, I know I have a route out.
Excellent news. Many have been campaigning for this
The UK quit Erasmus after Brexit, when Boris Johnson claimed the programme did not offer value for money.
Those who take part say the experience transformative, both personally & career
Now the UK will return to the EU’s Erasmus+ programme
Oh!! MPs have narrowly voted to introduce a Bill exploring the creation of a new UK-EU customs union in a move that will pile pressure on Labour’s Brexit policy
Lib Dem Dr Al Pinkerton’s ten minute motion split MPs precisely 100-100, with the deputy speaker casting a deciding vote for the ayes
🚨BREAKING🚨
MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.
The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.
Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.
Labour do know it. This is the issue - people know that they are being disingenuous by parroting the same old tired rhetoric. The country needs immigration and this dehumanisation will only hurt the people the country rely on. It’s shocking.
What the Labour Party used to understand was that it wasn’t that immigration was tearing the country apart, but that immigration was what was holding the country together. Immigration kept our NHS going, our transport system going, our education and much more.
It’s still true. They must know it.
He’s right!
Most of the UK’s economic problems since Brexit would have been avoided if it had stayed in the European Single Market and Customs Union and it’s time to move closer to the EU, writes former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt
This NOT “a Brexit win” it is a commitment to start negotiating an electricity trading agreement with the U.K. The need for such negotiations is BECAUSE of Brexit…
All regions of the UK are feeling the impact of not being close with Europe anymore. It's clear that only by rejoining the EU that we will begin to prosper.
Today, the Chancellor named Brexit as one of the main reasons for expected tax rises and lower productivity.
Wasn't Brexit supposed to put £350 million a week into the economy? 🤔 One of just many lies it seems...
He’s never there and does nothing for his constituents -
The most impoverished area in England is in Nigel Farage’s constituency of Clacton, according to new figures released today.
#BrexitFail -ed. #Farage says so - points out this Hull Daily Mail ✉️ #Brexit supporters left complaining #EU better negotiator 🤦♂️.
New trade deals don't make up for loss of #EuropeanUnion 'best trade deal of all' 😠
#BrexitReality = 'priceless' 🌍 opportunities stolen from Britain's young #RejoinEU
Ed Davey has urged Keir Starmer to go further on Brexit, calling for the UK to negotiate a new customs union with the EU. He’s right that Labour must be bolder in repairing relations with Europe and addressing the long-term damage caused by leaving.
⚠️ Higher prices, fewer opportunities, greater barriers, and an economy paying the price. A price that is ultimately paid by you.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Kemi Badenoch has chosen the side of Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage with her plan to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
The ECHR is a proud British creation, championed by Churchill, that protects everyone's rights and freedoms.

Some honesty at last
Labour MP blames Brexit for Rachel Reeves’ tax-hiking Budget last Oct, adding that he hopes Britain rejoins the EU in his lifetime.
Andrew Lewin said leaving EU left Britain £40bn poorer per year, adding that “were we still members… there would not have been a single tax rise”
This should be a huge scandal.
Reform’s (previously Brexit Party) former’s MEP Nathan Gill acted not in the interests of the people who had voted for him, or in those of the British and European taxpayers he was paid to represent, but in the interests of Russia.
As guilty as the “Cambridge Five”
Across the country, communities are being held back by a lack of access to training.

Until the government is willing have an honest discussion about the negative impact of Brexit - Britain’s growth, productivity & living standards will continue to be weighed down by the structural handicap it has inflicted on the country & economy

Take note Trump.
Former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, sentenced to 27 years in prison after being found guilty of plotting a military coup
Guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to left-wing rival.
Dotted along the British coastline, a number of border inspection facilities — built at great expense in the wake of the UK's chaotic exit from the European Union — now facing a bleak future.
Look how easy it is
This is what Labour should be saying
New leader of the Green Party @zackpolanski.bsky.social on immigration
We need stark truth and some left populism. Let’s hope it brings the same media fascination as it does for Farage’s lies & far right populism
'This country needs migrants'
Zack Polanski, the new leader of the Green Party in England and Wales, speaks to #BBCBreakfast about his views on immigration

It's not right that Lords should have less scrutiny than MPs.
They have a job for life in our parliament. It's time to do away with all of them and have a #HouseOfCitizens instead.

I support the @europeanmovement.co.uk campaign for the UK to re-join Erasmus+ and am glad the Government has agreed to work towards association to the programme.
Our young people should have access to the same mobility and opportunities as our European neighbours.
New @compassoffice.bsky.social polling shows Labour members overwhelmingly want bolder offer on democracy, the economy, child poverty and much more. The government is out of step with the mainstream of the Labour Party and must reset to transform the country. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza is abhorrent and it's increasingly clear that his goal is ethnic cleansing.
The UK can't just sit on its hands. The Prime Minister must stop all arms exports to Israel and sanction Netanyahu and his cabinet.
Thousands of Best for Britain’s supporters have made complaints to Sky News about their excessive coverage of Reform UK. 🚫
