Farage again blames “the endless eastward expansion of NATO” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Even when he’s playacting at being tough on Putin, he can’t resist repeating Kremlin talking points.

Faced with a large deficit and low economic growth, the govt is being forced to confront the economic damage of Brexit. Just an excuse ahead of Budget Day, or will Starmer & Reeves now take more ambitious action to address the Brexit problem? #RejoinEU www.europeanmovement.co.uk/government_f...

After avoiding the subject for so long, in just one week three senior Government ministers have confirmed how damaging Brexit has been to our economy. www.europeanmovement.co.uk/government_f...

In a letter published in this week's Cambridge Independent, our Chair Paul Browne calls on the UK government to press ahead with strengthening the UK's relationship with the EU. The world has changed, Chancellor Rachel Reeves admits that Brexit has done grave economic damage. Time for a new plan!

Elon Musk is stoking far-right extremism on our streets. The Prime Minister should order a security assessment of the threat Musk poses to our democracy. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social #PMQs

Over 55,000 people have called on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights, standing against a reckless push to repeat the mistakes of Brexit. Today their names were handed in, a reminder that this country still believes in cooperation, justice and the rule of law.

It's time for Starmer to abandon the race to keep up with the economy-sapping immigration policies of the man who brought us Brexit in the first place. Until he takes that step, the “severe and long-lasting” impact of leaving the EU, identified by Reeves today, will only keep getting worse.

I’m glad we can now talk about Brexit damage, says Wes Streeting The Prime Minister is gearing up to blame Nigel Farage and Brexit for Britain’s expected downturn in productivity at the November Budget It’s about time www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Good that the govt is willing to name the problem - Brexit - but what are they going to do about it? Muddling through isn't good enough. The UK needs a much more ambitious plan to rejoin the Single Market, Customs Union, and of course ultimately the EU! www.europeanmovement.co.uk/join2025

Nigel Farage has finally admitted to it. But now there's lots more questions especially considering Rupert Lowes intervention.... leftfootforward.org/2025/10/nige...

What Nathan Gill was paid by Russia to say was no different to the Kremlin propaganda that Farage was happy to spout for free. Farage shares Putin's vision of a world carved up by autocrats, and Brexit was a big step towards making that vision a reality. www.thenerve.news/p/reform-uk-...

I tried to interview Gill, but he refused to talk to me..months later, I would embark on an investigation into #Brexit, Trump and Cambridge Analytica. What I could never have predicted is that, nine years on, Gill and that story would crash directly into one other. www.thenerve.news/p/reform-uk-...

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges. The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).

Starmer is talking about "British values" again. Ironically, he's doing this just as the closest thing we have to a codification of British values - the European Convention on Human Rights - is under attack from the Tories and Farage, and even undermined by Starmer’s own Government.

Gary Neville blames #Brexit for its “devastating effect” on the country, and said the “messaging” of division is becoming “extremely dangerous”. He says we must stop promoting “all these idiots that are out there spreading hate …and become a team again” www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Support for staying in the ECHR has been rising (probably a Farage effect of solidifying the majority who oppose him, maybe Trump osmosis effect). Media and political opinion on the right believes there is a strong public desire to quit. Badenoch has now committed the Conservatives to quitting.

‘Polling commissioned by POLITICO shows the government’s agri-food deal agreed in principle with Brussels is popular with Remainers and Leavers alike — even when they're told it means following EU rules. ‘Nearly two-thirds (63 per cent) of voters back the deal…

So, how should we refer to the boats carrying irregular migrants to the UK that started arriving after Brexit? Share for #BrexitBoats Like for #FarageFlotilla inews.co.uk/news/starmer...

Or, indeed, how they reconcile this newfound concern for the safety of politicians with Nigel Farage previously calling Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg quislings?

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

Despite what its detractors say, a clear - and in most member states very large - majority of EU citizens believe that their country has benefited from EU membership. The UK benefited a lot from EU membership too, despite the Brexiter lies. It's time to plan to rejoin!

The chancellor claimed the ‘youth experience scheme’ would reduce the need for tax rises in the forthcoming Budget.

⚡️ Ukraine completes legislation screening with EU in key step toward accession. EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos lauded Ukraine for completing the screening "at record speed" in "the most difficult circumstances."

Last week the UN reported on the "widespread and systematic" torture of Ukrainian civilians in more than 100 detention centres across Russia and occupied Ukraine. Russian occupation is not "peace", and any negotiations should recognise this fact. www.reuters.com/world/europe... (2/2)

Russia has left the European Convention on the prevention of torture, which Russia has been breaking on a daily basis since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine (and frequently before then). This is why Russian occupation of Ukraine cannot be tolerated. www.reuters.com/world/russia... (1/2)

Great news from Moldova, where the party of President Maia Sandu has won an overall majority🇷🇴🇪🇺 Pro-EU parties got about two-thirds of votes despite rampant Kremlin interference in the election, which ranged from bribery and disinformation to bomb threats at polling stations. Well done Moldova👏🎆🥂

Marchers on Melikishvili Avenue were met by a line of police officers, likely hoping to prevent them from stopping at Kaladze’s campaign headquarters. But protesters broke through the cordon and took over the entire avenue.

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As Moldova goes to the polls in parliamentary elections this Sunday, Russian influence operations there have gone into overdrive. Good luck to Maia Sandu's Action and Solidarity party (PAS), who are campaigning to preserve Moldova's European future. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
