Trump and Farage are both Hijos de Putin. (Note: Spanish speakers will know why this is both funny and true).

The AGM of the European Movement UK was yesterday in Oxford & online. Pleased to be elected to the National Council, one of seven representatives from Wales. It's time to smash the gangs! Bring to account the shysters, liars & grifters who promised Brexit Benefits. #RejoinEU @europeanmovement.co.uk

"EU Finance Ministers have agreed to our proposal to remove the customs exemption for low-value parcels coming into the EU." Von der Leyen This surely also affects UK businesses and private individuals sending low-value items/parcels to the EU. It must be another Brexit benefit!

The Chancellor's worrying about how her budget will be viewed by the "Bond Markets" (co-creators of the 2008 financial crash scandal) is a bit like worrying what Trump thinks about the BBC's standards of truthfulness, or Jimmy Savile's opinions about child protection.

JUST the tonic I needed this morning 🙂 #BBCNews

Now Starmer needs to pick a side. Stand up for the British values of the BBC. Or kow-tow to the cowardly bullying of Trump. #BBCNews

Yep

This BBC News matter is not about impartiality. It's a plot to inject right-wing bias into the BBC to make it more like GB and Fox so-called "News". Will the UK government defend the BBC against Trump and the Faragists? That would take some political courage, so don't bet on it. #BBCNews

William Keegan (my hero) hits the nail right on the head once again #RejoinEU observer.co.uk/news/busines...

In case you missed it ... This is the "preamble" or introduction to the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights. It perfectly sums up the whole beauty of the European idea. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺🕊

If Brexit is the reason for Rachel Reeves' tax rises and attacks on pensions, she can fix it by applying to #RejoinEU rather than continuing the #Brexit carnage. I will not support Labour a second time, even if it means handing Britain to NF. Out tomorrow, Reboot Britain : Brexit RIP.

🇪🇺 “In the long term, we need to rejoin the European Union.” 👉@ZackPolanski 👏 Finally, someone in politics saying what most young people already know: Britain’s future lies back in Europe. Rejoin the customs union. Rebuild Erasmus. Restore freedom 👏 👏 👏 #RejoinEU #SaveBritishFarming #ReUnion

It's a great day for New York, the USA and the world, a bad day for Trump and therefore a bad day for Farage and his shower. #RejoinEU open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

In my opinion this is an extremely important article which deserves to be widely shared and should not go unnoticed on Page 31 of today's Observer #Gaza observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Labour's Lucy Powell will take a 'submarine approach' as deputy PM - for now

Labour’s new deputy leader says party must pay more heed to its members

Excellent piece #RejoinEU open.substack.com/pub/bestforb...

The Labour Party has a new Deputy Leader. "Her campaign was based on a call for the government to change course" ...BBC News. Well done, Lucy Powell.

Excellent piece #RejoinEU open.substack.com/pub/bestforb...

The former Tory cabinet minister's claims about stopping the small boats were met with scepticism from those in the studio.

Letter in the Western Mail, the national newspaper of Wales. #RejoinEU

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?

REVEALED: Donald Trump has picked Tony Blair for central role in Gaza ‘peace plan’… …but in our inaugural investigation for @thenerve_news, we reveal extensive previously unreported links to Israeli defence, media & tech. 🧵 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/tony-blair...

BLAIR ??? WTF ??? FFS !!! #Gaza #Palestine #FreedomFlotilla

Excellent opinion piece in this weekend's Financial Times #Ukraine

🚨 BREAKING: The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to #bribery, admitting he received corrupt payments as a Brexit Party MEP in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

Five excellent letters in today's Guardian. #RejoinEU

For the same reason they Farage on virtually every day? For the BBC it’s like a death wish

The blithering idiot who thought drinking bleach might be a great cure for Covid now not only knows the cause of autism but also has a cure. Why are our news outlets even mentioning the ravings of this moronic bell-end?

They will do anything for growth but they won’t do that

At the @ukandeu.bsky.social conference in Brussels today, Nick Thomas-Symonds made a good case for the UK-EU reset process. But many of the academics/diplomats/MPs/civilservants/trade associations/journalists present felt it was insufficient to change the dial economically. Much more needed!

Calling for the violent overthrow of an elected government, and stating it's that or death. What isn't "terrorism" about that? Why isn't "Robinson" in custody? Why isn't Musk being sanctioned?

Trump blames "left wing hate speech" for gun violence. I thought I recalled him publicly suggesting Hilary Clinton should be shot. I thought I heard him calling a public official a "numbskull". I thought he said some hateful things about Biden. I must have mis-heard or imagined all this.

I have joined this democratic organisation and hope that enough EU-minded friends and colleagues will join to influence its policy on rejoining the EU. If "Rejoin" is an explicit ambition of the organisation this time next year I will renew. #BrejoinEU labourmainstream.nationbuilder.com

Wise words from Polly Toynbee. She holds no punches and she always, always mentions the unmentionable (Brexit and its consequences) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump is NOT welcome in the UK. stoptrump.org.uk/protest/

Is he, a sitting MP, collaborating with a foreign government to undermine the UK?

So Nigel, your beloved Brexit Britain is 'Awful' is it? Time to say goodbye then.

It's being called Farage's 'Talk Britain Down' tour. Comparing the UK to North Korea. Describing Great Britain as 'awful'. Calling the UK an 'authoritarian' regime. Instead he got called a 'Putin-loving free-speech imposter.' 😆

Leading female politicians and artists reject attempts to link migration and sexual abuse

Ding-dong ding-dong, Ding-ding ding-dong, Ding-dong, ding dong, Ding-dong, ding-dong.... Dong... dong... dong .... This is the BBC and here is the news... IMMIGRANTS! IMMIGRANTS! FLAGS! FLAGS! FLAGS! FARAGE! FARAGE! BOATS! BOATS! BOATS! I'M A TEAPOT! YAKABOO! YAKABOO! YAKABOO....

Just testing our new doorbell chime. Hope you like it. #BrejoinEU #SongofJoy

Labour ministers are saying that the Reform Party's 1930s Fascist-style immigration policies are "unworkable". I'd be more impressed if they also said they are "immoral", "cruel" and "un-British".

Britain used to be a nation of Nicholas Wintons. Now we're a nation of Nigel Bloody Farages. What the hell has happened to us? youtu.be/6_nFuJAF5F0?...

Words and more words are not enough. If Starmer, Lammy and the rest of the Labour cabinet are not going to ACT to put a STOP to the war criminal Netanyahu and his turning Israel into a lying, murdering rogue state, they might as well not bother to get up in the mornings. Stay home and do less damage

This is well worth reading, especially the last few paragraphs www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Listening to #AnyQuestions on #Radio4. Mark Serwotka is having the other speakers for breakfast. The Tory lickspittles in charge of the BBC will be very cross indeed. Which is nice.

If there's anyone who's awake this morning and still hasn't figured out that Trump is all mouth and no trousers, they need professional help. #Breturn2EU #Independence4Europe
