The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Excellent article @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social @yorkshirebylines.co.uk Mutual free movement’ for UK and EU citizens supported by 84% of Brits, in stunning new poll yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

Excellent piece 👇 How Europe turned the Conservative Party from political giant to intensive care patient. Labour beware. euromovescotland.org.uk/how-europe-t...

Another organisation quits UK because of #Brexit - staff losing their jobs - barely reported by UK media travelweekly.co.uk/news/wttc-co...

Everyone should read this book by Nick Hayes So passionate and also brilliantly researched. A persuasive argument for land reform....and why Scotland gets its right! @righttoroam.bsky.social

What a brilliant interview @ahadley1.bsky.social for @chaosradio.bsky.social espousing the benefits of #ErasmusPlus membership "The fundamental thing about Erasmus Plus is that it's a programme for all. It is deliberately designed to attract the people who are least advantaged..." bit.ly/AHChaos

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

We're so excited to be working on this project as Executive Directors @tamsinshasha.bsky.social and can't wait to get started and help bring to life @giuliabalsamo.bsky.social vision! Get those applications in soon everyone!

🔴 BREAKING: Chancellor believes allowing young people to live and work across Britain and the EU would boost the economy and reduce the need for tax rises in the budget. https://www.bestforbritain.org/uk_outlines_ambitious_yms

Informative but scary piece @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social @grassrootsforeurope.org yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/tra... "democracy cannot be taken for granted. It requires active citizen engagement, institutional vigilance, & willingness to recognise and resist threats"

UPEND THE ESTABLISHMENT, by voting for a party composed entirely of rejects from the oldest party in the country that was in power for 14 years. 😂 Reform UK increasingly look like the Tories just ran off stage, then ran back on wearing a comedy glasses-nose-moustache disguise.

Reform UK's own "one in, one out" policy. ~AA July 2024: 4 MPs July 2024: 5 MPs March 2025: 4 MPs May 2025: 5 MPs July 2025: 4 MPs Sept 2025: 5 MPs

I think I know what will be the sell-out toy this Christmas. ~AA

Love this Peter 👏👏

Trump's civil war @timothysnyder.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p... Read his awesome book On Tyranny to recognise how a democracy becomes a tyranny & how to fight back. We need to stand against all forms of tyranny & work against this rising tide, incl Farage & his lying cronies!

To arm ourselves against Reform’s rise to power, we need first to recognise the most vulnerable parts of our current political landscape…

🚨🌱 The Chancellor is reviewing all public spending from scratch. Please join me in signing the @campaignforthearts.org petition to remind the UK Govt: the arts make our lives happier & our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them. www.campaignforthearts.org/petitions/sp...

Keir Starmer’s anti-immigration rhetoric isn’t just a dog whistle — it’s a foghorn to the far right. It echoes Enoch Powell & fuels hate. Last summer, a hotel housing asylum seekers was set on fire. This is the deadly cost of pandering to racism. Shame on the Prime Minister.

Am pleased to see this reported @theguardian.com but when will journalists acknowledge the Plus in Erasmus+ It's much more than just a student exchange programme @RayK6 @bestforbritain @mikegalsworthy www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #ErasmusPlus #Opportunity #schools #youth

Rejoining the EU would enhance Britain’s sovereignty. We’d get our seat back at the table where key decisions are taken & have a say on the single market rules that so many UK companies have to follow anyway (as it’s the world’s largest market, where we sell most of our exports).

The food and drink industry contributes £3.8 BILLION to the Yorkshire and Humber economy. But exports are falling because of Brexit red tape. 📉 The government must break down this barrier to growth by building closer trade ties with the EU. buff.ly/spwDNur

This “is no time for timidity” in realigning Britain with Europe says The Guardian: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Take 2 mins to demand that Meta stop targeting you with creepy personalised ads and content! They can't do it in the EU. Why are they allowed to do it in the UK?? Stop them! @goodlawproject.bsky.social goodlaw.social/gk0i

Important to take the week as a whole. Statement from Dominic Grieve:

Dear Sir Keir – an urgent request for you to lead a European response to America’s betrayal of Ukraine | Paul Ryder @westenglandbylines.co.uk

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

British farmers are being forced to give up producing food and more substandard food arrives in the U.K. everyday, thanks to bad Brexit trade deals. This Australian meat is reared using methods and chemical banned here which are really bad for animals, Public health and environment.

NEW: Explosive new revelations from ex MI6 spy. Why *did* Boris Johnson block the publication of the Russia Report before 2019 Gen Election? Finally some answers.. Russian military intelligence - the GRU - targeted the Brexit vote. "Money changed hands" 1/ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f...

🙌 Well done everyone! 🙌 Read (and share!) this piece by Robert McMaster, who started the petition:

Good article @yorkshirebylines.co.uk which explains a lot about Trump's doomed experiment. No art in the deal: how Donald Trump fails to understand tariffs and trade yorkshirebylines.co.uk/business/no-...

This. Which those sympathetic to the US are finding hard to deal with. The aim is destruction because the system is perceived as fundamentally rotten, this has been a growing part of populist thought for some time. www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Check out our new megapoll with @yougov.co.uk on the front page of today’s Observer! Full story: theguardian.com/politics/2025/jan/25/move-closer-to-europe-not-trump-voters-tell-starmer-in-major-uk-poll

In early days, Tory Govt claimed its plan to take back control would come good over time. Michael Gove blithely referred to difficulties SMEs as teething problems. Remainers and journalists who highlighted them were dismissed as “remainiacs” and bad losers. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I really like how @brianklaas.bsky.social is making the effort here to define what a Supercitizen is and how we benefit from these folks www.forkingpaths.co/p/the-power-...

NEW EPISODE 🚨 @sturdyalex.bsky.social and @pimlicat.bsky.social go deep on Trump’s executive orders, pardons, crypto pushing & what it means for us in 🇬🇧 and 🇪🇺, ably assisted by @brianklaas.bsky.social 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q... 🟢 open.spotify.com/episode/3F2u...

Donald Tusk: "I am aware this is a dream: that instead of a #Brexit, we will have a #Breturn. Perhaps I am labouring under an illusion. But I'd rather be an optimist and harbour these dreams in my heart. Sometimes they come true in politics." ~AA

Listening to last night's The Moral Maze www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... @bbcsounds.bsky.social @radio4rne.bsky.social which had 4 Brexiteers talking about democracy - Ella Whelan, James Orr, Giles Fraser & Tim Stanley?! Is that supposed to be balanced journalism. Not a good decision. Lazy & skewed.
