"The report, reviewed by the FT, decided against using Palantir technology for Swiss military data since there was a risk that US authorities could gain access to the sensitive files." Yet here Labour continues to shove public money down its throat.

Excellent write-up here from @suewilson91.bsky.social for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk on the practical & morally urgent changes we need to make to immigration policy Imagine a govt willing to do what's best to protect migrants' rights AND benefit host communities yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

Just when you think REFUK can't get any more extreme........ Those flag-shagging, nazi-salluting hooligans in Manchester are going to love this! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There is a better way, a more humane way, a more compassionate way, a more successful way to deal with the immigration that our country needs. Just look at Spain. @bremaininspain.com

"If Keir Starmer wants to avoid a full Reform sweep at the next General Election, changing the electoral system isn’t just a smart choice; it’s the patriotic one," writes @elliechowns.bsky.social. https://open.substack.com/pub/bestforbritain/p/we-need-an-electoral-revolution

A decade after David Cameron announced that the country would be going to the polls in the EU membership referendum, Stephen Gethins MP has secured a Westminster Hall debate next week to discuss the consequences of that fateful decision. This debate really matters. Write to your MP #EMUK

Give it a day or 2

Britain’s Rare Shot at Real Electoral Reform Bills like the RPB come once in a decade at best. Here's what’s in it – and what's concerningly absent. #MattGallagher #Substack uglypolitix.substack.com/p/britains-r...

Good to see greater collaboration with EU countries. If only there were a way to work more closely with all 27....... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wonder how many Brexiters will argue the toss, call this fake news, claim it was all worth it or that it would all have been fine had Brexit been handled properly? www.bigissue.com/news/politic...

1/3 A lot of concern around this from Brits with dual citizenship. We reached out to the British Embassy in Madrid for some further clarification, particularly for Brits who hold Spanish passorts as we are supposed to renounce our British citizenship Their guidance below in the comments

Good news! The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has for the first time been classified as right-wing extremist by a federal state in the west of the country, giving authorities there enhanced powers to monitor the party as a potential threat to democracy.

How much do you want a bet this will come back and bite Starmer on the backside? Can he never appoint anyone with a clean record? FFS www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Would it be wrong of me to say how much I'm enjoying watching the latest Epstein-related home grown news unfolding?

Resetting the UK-EU relationship: Ahead of a debate on the HOL European Affairs Committee’s report, this briefing looks at progress on implementing commitments made at UK/EU summit in May 2025 & summarises the findings and the government response. lordslibrary.parliament.uk/resetting-th...

Home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, seems determined to make life as difficult as possible for those seeking asylum, & is even threatening the rights of those already granted leave to remain. This is not the way. Its cruel, immoral & will ultimately fail. Take a look at Spain. There's a better way.

I've just written to my MP asking them to attend the Brexit Referendum Anniversary Debate. You can do the same in just two minutes: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/contact-mp-e...

Already on their 2nd home secretary, the Labour govt is maintaining the toxic rhetoric and cruel policies of its predecessor This new report, Time for Change by prominent migration expert @zoejardiniere.bsky.social proves there is another better way @suewilson91.bsky.social @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

When I wrote about anti-migrant policies of the Home Office in 2022, I'd hoped that come election day, they'd be abandoned along with the Tories. Surely a Labour government with promises of ‘change’ would show us a better way. I couldn’t have been more wrong. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

The full application of EES won't just affect travellers, it will also seriously impact British truck drivers already dealing with Brexit bureaucracy. www.politico.eu/article/eu-b...

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration. #BrutalButAccurate

Except when your own government is, in effect, encouraging you not to, & to use your British passport when in the UK. Source (re screen shot): www.bremaininspain.com/news/dual-ci...

From the Embassy/government website: Dual citizenship - GOV.UK share.google/22jUqdW9HgWh...

Then ask them directly. They speak for the British government, & the government say dual nationality - even with Spain who don't accept it - is allowed.

Yet in the eyes of the British state you are still British & encouraged to be so when in the UK, assuming you haven't officially paid UK to renounce your British passport.

For the first time since May 2025, Reform are not the favourites to win the next election - Labour are. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...

UK is worried about being left out of supply chains by EU's 'made in Europe' drive. If only there were a way to ensure our inclusion & reap other benefits of a closer relationship? www.politico.eu/article/brit...

That percentage rises to 86% of younger voters, & even older voters are now up to 60%. Isn't it now time for a major government rethink in order to take account of the 'will of the people' that was so important when the fateful decision was made? www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bri...

Key dates for EES. Gradual phase in will be coming to an end soon. Be prepared for delays when travelling to EU. www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Govt has abandoned plans to delay 30 council elections in England, following advice this could be unlawful. Legal challenge mounted by Reform. Govt to pay Reform's legal costs. What legal advice did Ministers obtain before suspending elections? Another inept policy decision by Starmer.

The British Embassy will tell them they don't have to/need to, & the British government will charge them a fortune to denounce their British citizenship. Can't blame anyone that qualifies for an EU Passport for applying for one.

Apart from anything else, & the worry that they might be falling foul of either countries sometimes conflicting messages, have you seen the costs involved? And what about British kids living in Spain that have never owned a British passport? Another can of worms.

Me too, but thankfully I don't have to as I've blocked him for being obnoxious & bullying.

It's not fraud to fail to renounce your British passport & it's not a requirement when becoming a Spanish citizen, even though the Spanish authorities don't allow dual citizenship for Brits. Read this (approved by the British Embassy in Madrid): www.bremaininspain.com/news/dual-ci...

It certainly appears that way.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Not just defence spending either. What about speeding up the EU/UK 'reset', ideally by abandoning those ridiculous red lines?

"British women in Spain and Greece face ‘huge problems’ entering UK because of differing surname rules". They won't be the only ones, either. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform UK are hiring! yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/ref... Good spoof @suewilson91.bsky.social @bylinesnetwork.co.uk @yorkshirebylines.co.uk They really are this bad 🤯😳

Used to be so easy to live, study, work, travel, retire in the EU. Now it's much more difficult, & for some, completely impossible, thanks to Brexit. We have stolen a wealth of opportunities, benefits & rights from all but the wealthy. Just plain wrong. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

"Universities, builders and health trusts are feeling the squeeze, as thinktank says effect of zero net migration could be similar to Brexit." How many more times? Countries like the UK, with low birth rates NEED IMMIGRATION, whether you like it or not. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Had the referendum been binding, rather than advisory, the result could have been overturned due to the illegalities, as would the results of an illegal election. As the government chose to act as if the result were binding, then the rules for an illegal election should have applied.

"We would not take control by turning inward - we would surrender it". If Starmer believes that, he should drop his red lines, beg forgiveness & call a referendum. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

"Europe must wean itself off its dependence on the US for security". www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

"We have to work together", Starmer to say, while refusing to drop those red lines that would enable the best working relationship possible. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live... The High Court has ruled that the government's ban on Palestine Action was "unlawful" yet the government are going to waste more of taxpayers money on appealing the decision. Why don't they just accept that they got it fundamentally wrong & apologise?

Cherry-picking anyone?

If the PM reckons Jim Ratcliffe should apologise for spreading this exact same lie, should the Home Office apologise too, or? 🤨

Not very often you can agree with Piers Morgan but hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
