We endorse Rafał Trzaskowski as the next Polish President. He is a symbol of resilience, courage & hope, standing against the far-right candidate. Poland knows what it means to stand for freedom & democracy. Vote on the 1 June, this election will shape the future of Poland & Europe.

Brexit led to 1,500 deaths a year as EU nurses left UK. Replaced by less experienced or skilled staff, which had a knock-on effect for patients. Brexit has done immense harm. No impact assessment was provided. Farage/Reform still doing the same with their nationalist rhetoric.
