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.

Starmer’s grip and grin with Trump ain’t aging very well. Not saying we shouldn’t have gone to the US, but stark reality is that U.K. needs to massively reverse out of the ‘special relationship’ - as quickly as possible

Can't see how Europe and the US can reconcile frankly. The reception to Zelensky among EU leaders vs this doesn't seem bridgeable. This is going to play awfully in every chancellery across Europe. A big split is coming

You know what really worked? Freedom of movement. I miss it. The UK economy misses it. Everyone who's queued at an EU border misses it. Labour government? Not sure they've even heard of it.

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

Are you a Brit living in Spain with residency? If you're only proof of that is the old green residency doc or card, then it's time to switch to the TIE, before EES is announced & there's a rush for appointments. Failure to do so could seriously affect your ability to travel, & much more.

Is this increase in defence spending enough? Probably not, but at least it's a step in the right direction. However, it would be far better to fund it by breaking down Brexit trade barriers than by slashing the foreign aid budget. news.sky.com/video/sir-ke... @europeanmovement.co.uk

A 2017 Cambridge study on Brexit's impact on UK wine market largely held true: consumption declined due to economic factors and taxes, import patterns shifted, and domestic production grew. Global issues like climate change added complexity to the predictions. Brexit is hurting British business.

Trump just doubled down on all the lies he said about Ukraine yesterday. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is right, the USA is no longer an ally, indeed it's well on the way to becoming an adversary. Europe must mobilise against Putin and Trump now, and the UK must play its part. (1/2)

There you have it, Trump now openly supporting Putin, and Farage/Reform openly supporting Trump. If you support Farage/Reform, you're doing the same thing as those who supported Mosley before World War II. WAKE UP before it's too late!
