The Vatican did not release a statement after the meeting, but Pope Leo XIV has repeatedly voiced support for Ukraine, calling for “just and lasting peace”.

UK voters back reciprocal UK-EU Freedom of Movement by 3-to-1. It's ridiculous that Freedom of Movement still discussed as a barrier to the UK rejoining the Single Market or EU. Its a benefit of Single Market membership! www.politico.eu/article/poll...

Many fear that policies from the Trump administration are hurting the US' soft power and dampening demand to visit the country.

Back in September 2024 I was told that Downing Street had accepted the need for youth mobility in an EU reset but that if we hold out we'll get more for it. That view nearly broke Labour's efforts before they started.

“We need compassion, not division! For those already traumatised by changing attitudes towards migrants thanks to #Brexit, the latest plan – to make them wait 10 years before applying for a right to stay indefinitely – must seem particularly cruel. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/mig...

We’ve teamed up with Miriam Margolyes to fight for musicians like Alex. The UK/EU summit is a chance to fix Brexit’s mess, let’s not waste it. Watch the video and sign the petition: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/music-petition

Paul Nowak : “I think it would be a mistake to rule out anything..I would like to see a youth mobility scheme. And for workers, just generally, I want to see increased opportunities for workers in the U.K. to work in the EU and vice versa." www.politico.eu/article/unio...

Mary Robinson, the former Irish President and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, urged the EU to show important leadership in the face of a US withdrawal from efforts to combat global warming. #RadioSchuman

Analysts say disinformation actors continue to sow division and distrust ahead of a consequential presidential second round on Sunday. #EuroVerify

Some EU countries are banning phones in schools. 📱 The European Commission is investigating TikTok, Facebook and Instagram for targeting minors with addictive features. 🇪🇺 Can Europe stop screen addiction among teens? #EuropeansStories

Simon Cowell wants a second #Brexit referendum - do you agree? Please vote and share www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The EU-UK pre-summit negotiations are getting spicy ahead of Monday summit — EU member states digging in on mobility and fish, UK trying (and failing) to lobby capitals over Commisson’s head. Some trenchant briefings to me @andybounds.bsky.social and @georgewparker.bsky.social on.ft.com/4jVUMSF

The man who wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the United States because of terrorism is meeting this week with the former head of Al Qaeda in Syria.

0% of Reform supporters think Labour are best able to handle immigration. The figure literally couldn't be lower. And for that, Labour blew up their voter base today?

Exactly this. Today have shown that Labour are “the midwives for a Reform government in 2029.”

Labour have literally chosen Vote Leave's "Take Back Control" slogan to mark their new assault on immigration.

This is exceedingly well put.

In Ealing on Saturday, people's feelings were very clear - even a feline visitor! @labour4europe.bsky.social @chelfulhamben.bsky.social

Marina is spot on : “I can’t believe they are making it more difficult for the care sector to hire people!”

A secret US-UK sweetheart tech deal? open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Starmer on 31st Jan 2020: “We need to make the wider case on immigration. We welcome migrants, we don’t scapegoat them. Low wages, poor housing, poor public services, are not the fault of people who come here: they’re political failure…” Starmer today legitimising the far right position:

If you pander to the far right, the far right does even better.

We’ve been duped as a nation

The WORLD is suffering the consequences of an ill informed public.

Barbara in Ealing today: “ This government should face the fact that #Brexit was the biggest mistake and a con. It’s ridiculous, we can see france from our shore!”
