❄️💵 Zelensky: It will be a very big loss for the Russians if we can somehow get this money. Whether it will be a loan under the guarantees of other countries, or another option. But if we can get this 140-160 billion, it will be a big loss for Putin and people from his circle.

🇪🇺 EU enlargement has gone through a period of strong rhetoric but slow progress 🤔 But how serious is the EU about accepting new members? Find out with our expert panel👇 💻 Online 📆 Tue 18 Nov, 1pm GMT https://ukandeu.ac.uk/events/ukice-lunch-hour-the-prospects-for-eu-enlargement/

Jeffrey Epstein claims he gave Russians insight into Trump

It’s out! Here’s @LordsEUCom Report ‘Unfinished Business: resetting the UK- EU relationship’. The Gov’t have made a strong start, esp on security and defence, but there’s still much to do in turning aspirations and goodwill into workable agreements 1/8 publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld5901/ld...

Hello everyone, friends, followers, and supporters of Ukraine I'm starting a new fundraiser for $120,000 to help Ukraine with engineering equipment, heavy trucks with cranes, and excavators Please watch the video and read to understand why this matters donation link www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

Let's say it loud and clear, the UK must rejoin the EU! There are certainly things that can be improved along the way, but the destination cannot be in doubt. No more half-measures, let's commit to building a better future together with our friends across Europe 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Labour are blaming Brexit but are failing to fix it. It’s time to cut the red tape and rebuild our partnership with Europe.

It's great news that the UK has banned companies such as Seapeak Martime from helping Russia to ship the LNG that funds the invasion of Ukraine. In our discussion in September Svitlana Romanko asked us to contact our MPs to demand this, thanks everyone who did! youtu.be/GdwFsp--Jv4?...

Today, after 3+ years of work, we celebrate a major win: UK bans maritime services for Russian fossil fuels — cutting Putin’s war chest. We welcome this big step + call for quick G7 & EU action against Russian #energy. Great reporting by @charliecooper8.bsky.social @politico.com 👏

Fake news: the BBC, Trump and the fight for impartiality "We should be honest: the BBC will not report on Trump freely now. It won’t need to be told not to" northeastbylines.co.uk/news/opinion...

Farage is a GB news shareholder and is paid through a private company for his appearances on the channel. So, here he is shit-stirring with Trump over the BBC and grifting his nasty little arse off… There is really nothing of ours he won’t ruin to grab for power and wealth for himself. (iPaper+LFF)

New @therestpolitics.bsky.social LEADING with Polish deputy PM/foreign minister @radek-sikorski.bsky.social - on Trump, Putin, and why it matters so much to the west that Ukraine wins. This, and much more, including a plea to U.K. to get back in the EU alastaircampbell.org/2025/11/161-...

Every day, more people join the uninterrupted #GeorgiaProtests. Day 349.

1/ We were delighted to attend the EU UK Youth Dialogue last week. We took a delegation of members and our president, Alfred Quantrill spoke at the event about youth engagement in political decision making & our 'Open Doors, Open Futures' campaign for ERASMUS+ and the Youth Experience Scheme.

It's essential that a UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme is available to everyone, regardless of background. Every young person deserves the opportunity to travel, gain new skills, and experience different cultures.

Rejoining Eramsus+ would be a vital step in retaining Britain’s standing in the world and upholding the world renown of our universities. This cultural exchange was essential for cooperation in an increasingly interconnected world. It's time to restore our membership.

"These estimates suggest that by 2025 Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time." New NBER report is quietly devastating about the impact of Brexit on the UK economy. We need to cut away the drag anchor of Brexit. We need to rejoin the EU!

Panorama should just re-edit the programme. Removing the edit Trump complains about. Replacing it with the last 1 minute 16 seconds of his speech, unedited. In which he repeats exactly what Panorama put in the edit. From 69:36 to 70:52. www.marketwatch.com/video/trump-...

The first step towards saving our precious BBC: remove Robbie Gibb from the board | Ed Davey

Journalist, "Farage accused the BBC of election interference" Ed Davey, "The interference we've seen is from Farage's friend, Putin" "We've seen Russian interference in the most appalling way"

It is utter bullshit that the mistaken splicing of two bits of his January 6th 2021 speech on Panorama in October 2024 had any significant impact whatsoever on the reputation of Donald Trump in Britain, or globally, and the claim for $1 billion damages is bullshit and bullying by the US president

Trump's January 6th speech analysed by the BBC: it is an anti-democratic speech, telling a crowd lies about a stolen election; it calls for people to "fight like hell" & calls for "peaceful and patriotic" protest (against the legitimate winner of a democratic election) www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-u...

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling. Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

Rejoining the EU won’t happen overnight, but we can start by rebuilding cooperation with the EU. This should include realigning the UK as an associate member of European agencies, rejoining key European programmes such as Erasmus+, and seeking deeper agreements with the EU across the board.

The UK played a pivotal role in creating the ECHR. Leaving it now would betray that legacy, and destroy the very principles we helped to create.

Switzerland is joining Horizon Europe! We are uniting two research powerhouses. For cutting-edge innovation that will boost our energy security, digital transformation, health and so much more. Today is a good day for science, and for our EU-Switzerland partnership.

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Headline from a serious and long working paper on the economic impact of Brexit. Possible that this has been feeding into OBR and HMT discussions?

“We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% & 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%. These large negative impacts reflect a combination of elevated uncertainty, reduced demand, diverted management time, & increased misallocation of resources” Devastating.

"These estimates suggest that by 2025 Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time." New NBER report is quietly devastating about the impact of Brexit on the UK economy. We need to cut away the drag anchor of Brexit. We need to rejoin the EU!

Happy Birthday to the European Convention on Human Rights, which has helped to protect #OurRightsAndFreedoms for 75 years. Here are more than 200 examples, from across the continent👇 🔗 www.coe.int/ECHR There are thousands more. #ECHR #ECHR75 @coe.int @echr.coe.int

🚨🚨 Belgian court convicts two for EU funds misuse linked to #NigelFarage's Brexit group. Great report by @elisabraun.bsky.social on a decade-long probe into alleged misuse of EU funds by associates of top #Brexit campaigner. www.euractiv.com/news/belgian...

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

Norway is showing how it's done! #StandWithUkraine

🇳🇴🇺🇦 More detailed info from The Times: Norway is discussing a proposal to unlock a European war loan of more than €100 billion for Ukraine by securing the debt against its €1.7 trillion national sovereign wealth fund.

Today, on Remembrance Sunday, we remember the sacrifices made by those who fought and died for our freedom in past wars. We must also remember the brave Ukrainians who are right now fighting to defend the freedom of Ukraine, and that of all Europe, from dictatorship. 📷: Ukrainian 15th Army Corps

The farming sector has been one of the most affected since Brexit. Farmers are experiencing a loss of profit after a drop in subsidies after we left the EU. It’s essential that we work with Europe to save British farming.

I’m not in the room, so can’t tell who is stiffing who. UK definitely has weaker hand; is entirely to blame for Brexit; still gives mixed signals about EU. But, in today’s geopolitical environment, bad for both sides to let UK-EU relations fracture further. At some stage, finger pointing shd stop.

The UK desperately needs a more optimistic vision for the future. Attitudes don't happen by accident, they're shaped by those in power and those with power. We need more ambitious leadership from those who believe in democracy, justice and accountability. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

"Seizing Brexit opportunities to deregulate."

It comes as no surprise that Trump has put the interests of his fellow autocrat Orban ahead of the needs of the democracy of Ukraine against Russian imperialism, but it is infuriating nonetheless. The democracies of Europe must be more decisive. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... (1/2)

As a matter of justice, the Russian dictatorship must be made to pay for its brutal aggression against Ukraine. European citizens will have to pay more for their security in future, but Russia must pay first! If the Russian invasion of Ukraine is defeated, future EU defence spending can be lower.

Don't let Reform and the Tories take the UK out of the ECHR, a bulwark of freedom and human rights that the UK helped to write 75 years ago!

75 years ago today, the European Convention of Human Rights, ECHR, was created. The UK played a key role in shaping it. We should celebrate the ECHR & the vision of all who brought it to life. We must resist regressive & cynical moves to rip us out of the convention!

The European Commission has adopted stricter rules on visas for Russian nationals. From now on, Russian nationals will no longer be able to receive multiple-entry visas. Instead, they will have to apply for a new single-entry visa each time they plan to travel to the EU, allowing closer scrutiny.

🇪🇺❌ The European Commission has banned the issuance of multiple-entry visas to Russian citizens. Now the Russians will have to apply for a new single-entry visa every time they plan to travel to the EU.

Russia’s top tank maker Uralvagonzavod is slashing around 10% of its workforce and freezing all new hires by February. Insider reports suggest some divisions could lose up to 50% of staff, pointing to a steep drop in military orders or state funding. Even Russia’s war machine is running out of fuel.

The EU is ratcheting up pressure on governments reluctant to agree on funding for war-ravaged Ukraine — telling them if they don’t force Russia to foot the bill, they’ll have to do it themselves.

3 weeks ago, we handed in a petition signed by over fifty-five thousand of you, calling on the Government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights. Following the 75th anniversary, our message is clear - the ECHR is essential for our rights and freedoms, and we must remain in it.

Just hours after Czech Parliament Speaker Tomio Okamura boasted about removing the Ukrainian flag, three new blue-and-yellow flags appeared on the building. Parties including ODS, STAN, and Piráti raised them from their office windows in defiance.
