Not sure how you work that one out. How do you know I "don't want to contribute to" my new country? I stood in local elections. I pay Spanish taxes. I volunteer. You don't know me.

No need to resort to any of that. There are plenty of real facts & stats that prove Brexit has done untold damage to the UK economy & global standing. I leave the conspiracy theories & BS top the Brexiters.

Very useful comparison of youth mobility proposals by @simonusherwood.bsky.social Key points: - neither Commission nor UK proposals are "free movement" - no big differences of *principle* between UK & Commission - *but* difficult financial (NHS surcharge, tuition fees) & practical (quota) issues

www.theguardian.com/business/liv... ‘Bad news continues’ for Rachel Reeves as UK’s January budget surplus misses forecasts. Do you know what's really bad news for the Chancellor & the UK economy? BREXIT!

Progress indeed, but much more needed. Let's see how the EU respond.

It's a welcome move in the right direction but it doesn't go far enough. It's the UK government's attitude to the EU that needs a 'reset'.

Cost of Brexit on UK’s tourism industry revealed – with the worst yet to come One decision by Boris Johnson’s gov was to ban 200+ million EU citizens from travel to UK using their identity cards. European travellers can visit dozens of nations, inside & outside EU, without passports – not Britain

Spain's economy is booming - thanks to immigration. Ideological rigidity against foreign-born workers isn’t just xenophobic, it’s economically shortsighted. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The first of many legal challenges? The policy is cruel & unnecessary & makes Labour no better than the Tories or Reform-UK. They'd better learn that lesson quickly! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Thanks Jane. That deserves a follow ;)

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

"Welcome to the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference, a fatuous echo chamber of self-congratulation", says John Crace. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... "Why is Spain’s economy booming? Thanks to migration – which proves xenophobia doesn’t pay". There is a better way to handle immigration - a kinder, more compassionate way & 1 that would benefit the UK economy & society. Wake up Labour! @bremaininspain.com

Spain has chosen to be an "open & prosperous" country & is thriving as a result. The attitude towards immigrants is not only welcoming & compassionate but has contributed significantly to Spain becoming "Europe's buzziest economy". An important lesson. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

I'm British, regardless of my location. I have an opinion about British politics as it affects my life & the lives of my family & friends. I'm on social media where people share their opinions. If you don't like my opinions, feel free to ignore them, as I'll ignore yours.

There is only 1 way to beat the Farages & Trumps of this world & that is to expose them for what they are, & by demonstrating to the country – & the world – that there is a better way. @bremaininspain.com @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @stellacreasy.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/ope...

"Undoing the damage done by leaving the EU is like crossing a fast-flowing stream. It must be done in one jump". www.theneweuropean.co.uk/peter-kellne...

How anyone in government could have been stupid enough to believe this was a valid policy just beggars belief.

One Brexit per lifetime is quite enough for anyone! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

UK should re-join single market and customs union with view to re-joining EU, says Eastwood | Alliance Party www.allianceparty.org/uk_should_re...

Fantastic piece! [UK is now] "just another third country sitting between Ukraine and Uruguay". Oof!

In this new world, if you're not around the table, you're on the menu. If China, Russia, US are allowed to decide Europe's future, our future won't be ours. European leaders...lead! on.ft.com/3CQFzlI

Why did that immediately make me think of Severance?

This "cruel" proposal is yet another misguided attempt to out-Reform the far-right. When will Labour wake up? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Writing this with a heavy heart: the refugee citizenship ban is the single most unconscionable policy Labour has proposed since it entered power. It’s the moment that I felt my support for this administration begin to crumble inews.co.uk/opinion/colu...
