🇪🇺 🇬🇧 The door to the EU will always remain open. The UK remains an important part of the European family, and together we are stronger. Last Saturday‘s National Rejoin March was a clear reminder that the hope for a closer future remains alive. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

"It will only ever be spent because of the campaigning you did which resulted in the vote 10 years ago today?" "You have concerns over your personal security for the rest of your days?" Farage has got richer while you have got poorer.

This and any politician who pretended otherwise lacked judgment or honesty.

Please. Stop rationalising and both-siding pro-Brexit claims, made then or now, and the people making them. There has never been any version of Brexit which was going to do anything other than serious damage to the UK’s security, prosperity and well-being. True then. True now. Enough.

An early message for Andy Burnham : join our local union, the European Union 🇪🇺

Labour at that time were committed to reinstating it. Check your facts. Then this happened bylinetimes.com/2024/07/23/l...

The first job of the new PM should be to reinstate Levison II. No group of people should hold such power over politics and politicians.

Whilst the media commemorates 10 years since Brexit, it’s worth recalling that one of the principal causes of Brexit was the abject failure of the media to call out the lies and the liars.

This is great. He's getting absolutely hammered on this and every answer he invents is worse than the one which preceded it

Striking here how certain it was in the Brexiteer mind that Brexit would be the start of a general EU collapse

If the £5 million secret payment influenced Farage’s actions as a sitting MP, that raises extremely serious questions. Potential issues could include parliamentary standards breaches, tax issues etc. Under the Bribery Act 2010, bribery offences carry a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.

Voice Of The People latest

Total charlatan!!

You already got one, and you didn't like it.

Ten years have passed now and #brexit is and has as predicted been an unprecedented failure with severe financial and political implications for ordinary UK citizens and business, dividing families, dividing politics and caused immeasurable hardship. /2

Among the usual things at @ukandeu.bsky.social conference, some things worth exploring as part of getting towards a more mature debate on European policy in the UK 1/

A powerful installation of 20,000 teddy bears in Los Angeles is drawing attention to the thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia, demanding the world "Bring Kids Back." 🧵 1/4 ⬇️

Russia placing air defences on top of civilian medical centres.

How conventient for political journalists, to all be gathered in Downing Street once more, so they can interview each other, to ask "how did this happen?", without ever acknowledging that, at least in part, they themselves are how this happened.

This.

Something symbolic about Keir Starmer's resignation speech with the EU anthem in the background: much of UK's recent political instability came fm inability to accept being a normal European country, not a global power; & many of the limits on what Labour cd do in power flowed fm Brexit's econ harm.

I’m pleased to say (as its President Elect) that @resmedia.bsky.social board of trustees agreed on Friday that the Society will stop using X (FYI @sundersays.bsky.social )

Ten years on, Britain counts the cost of Brexit Ten years ago, Britain chose to abandon its lucrative membership of the world’s largest single market. It has been paying a price ever since. edition.cnn.com/2026/06/22/b...

Ed Miliband has been the most effective minister in this Government. And his policies ARE leading to one of the few areas of real job growth Diluting these policies will lead to loss of GDP and a greater loss of jobs so a wise PM will stand up to Unions wrong headedness on this very very robustly

Ten years after Brexit, the FT comes out for cake

Stitched Up: Belarusian Political Prisoners Highlighted Through Traditional Embroidery An art initiative is reminding the world of the political prisoners held in Belarus through traditional cross-stitch embroidery. www.rferl.org/a/belarus-cr...

It seems to have become commonplace to blame net zero for Britain’s high energy bills and/or weak job market… … and I guess I’ll have to explain again why there is very little evidence of this. Britain has plenty of economic problems; net zero is not high on that list (though climate change is) 🧵

Oh, and it seems unfashionable to mention it now, but net zero is also essential to maintaining a safe climate. Heat waves, like all other climate impacts, will get far, far worse if we don't decarbonise. And ignore the childish 1% argument, the UK still plays a big role in global climate action

Reform UK have only ever won 1 Parliamentary by-election and that was by just 6 votes. Every one of their MPs is a former Conservative - a defector or past member. It has no guiding philosophy other than the pursuit of power.

🚨🇪🇺 EU membership would supercharge UK economy by at least £92bn https://www.bestforbritain.org/eu_membership_to_supercharge_uk_economy_by_at_least_92bn_report_suggests

Michael Bloomberg is convinced that the fossil fuels industry has completely captured the US government and US media. And he's correct. He plans to do something about it. www.ft.com/content/5d02...

Ukraine is slowly demilitarizing Crimea. Without Crimea, russia can’t attack southern Ukraine and can’t hold the land corridor. Suddenly, Ukraine has a theory of *military* victory even though so many have claimed from day one that is pure fantasy.

Worth reading both @tejparikh.ft.com's column and @t0nyyates.bsky.social's thread rebutting it. (Fwiw I am somewhere in between..)

There are big choices which this country has not taken for a long time - we need to move to talking about these issues such as the economy, defence and social care. Whatever the Labour Party decide to do with their leadership, they should do it quickly and get on with governing the country.

People should not end up in A&E because of a lack of NHS dentists. The Government must recruit, train and retain the dental health professionals that are needed in the south west.

So this is what you call a toll that you do not want to call a toll….

Terry Donegan is Reform UK’s candidate in the Dowlais and Pant, Merthyr Tydfil by-election next week. He’s a vaccination conspiracy theorist. Reform UK doesn’t seem to understand the danger it is putting people in by platforming anti-vax candidates. It’s a reckless pursuit of power.

It's time for a bold new deal with Europe that will make Britain richer, safer and stronger. It's time to take Britain back into the single market and back into the heart of Europe.

Just in time to mark the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum with a seventh Prime Minister in that time. Whoever took back control, it wasn't the occupant of 10 Downing Street.

Neil Kinnock at #RejoinMarch showing he's still quite an orator, as he tells the crowd that outside the EU the UK is in limbo, & standing still means slipping backwards - rejoining the EU is our imperative: "Argue for it with reason, campaign for it with energy, but do it!".

Heroes, every one.

🇺🇦 According to UN, ~5.7 million Ukrainians were forced to leave abroad due to Russia's armed aggression. Ombudsman emphasized that behind this figure are not only statistical data, but also the personal stories of millions of people whose lives were divided by the war into "before" and "after."

Russia has suffered up to 1.5 million total casualties in Ukraine, around half a million of them killed, a senior NATO official says, with voluntary recruitment weakening and Moscow increasingly relying on convicts, the indebted and foreigners. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/?p=70192

"At this rate, the Government risk making no meaningful reforms to dentistry within this Parliament," says @johnmilnehorsham.bsky.social MP. These risks are real. We need honesty with both dentists and patients. On timelines, on resources, on the true scale of this Government's ambitions.

🥔🇺🇦 Zelensky: Regarding Belarus. No need for unnecessary words. There are repeaters on his towers. On his territory along two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on our people. Let him remove this equipment. I think a week will be enough for him to do it. 1/3
