No such group now as Bournemouth for Europe - it morphed into Dorset for Europe, which is thriving, so personal views here.

The right-wing is losing its combined shit over the EU flag being shown as part of the London New Year fireworks.
Are they perhaps unaware that, as the UK is a member of the Council of Europe, the flag is perfectly valid?

Addressing the real life impact of Brexit on the many who have cross border lives. Instead of binary thinking or asking why not make A, B or C your primary residence recognise lives are more complex. 40 plus years of EU membership have seen people build lives that transcend borders.

Hey remainers. We’ve really got to STOP saying we voted for this outcome.
Don’t give that lie any credibility.
1. **we** didn’t.
2. It was an advisory referendum.
3. Every democratic exercise after Brexit showed declining and minority support for Brexit supporting parties.

I can’t read the article, but if it’s talking about the SPS agreement, the idea that a large and technically complex arrangement of this sort could be negotiated in a few months was never plausible. David Henig estimated 3 years to negotiate and at least one to implement. No quick fixes.

Absolutely. But really, when you think about it, FOM is essential to make the other 3 freedoms useful. A seller of goods needs to be able to service them: needs FOM for people. An investor needs to be able to put people into his new factory: needs FOM. A professional wants serve clients in the EU.
