A recent poll by Opinium, commissioned by European Movement UK, found that 75% of Britons favour joining the Single Market to lower taxes. Rejoining would be a practical step towards economic renewal and a more confident role in the world - we must act soon to prevent any more damage to the country.

There’s a typo; it shd read “Mandelson’s disgrace raises far bigger questions than Starmer’s judgement. The shame is on all of Westminster’s political classes, who have shown themselves repeatedly willing to turn a blind eye to ethical lapses within their midst, when it has suited them politically.

So you had a dual stitch up — the Russian/American oligarchs around Farage and Johnson, and the Russian/American oligarchs around Mandelson. Leave or remain, they didn’t want their contacts investigated. So Brexit went ahead.
Lots of things are beginning to make sense now. Given Mandelson’s role in the People’s Vote, and his proximity to Epstein and his MAGA/Russian ties, no wonder they dismissed @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on Cambridge Analytica/Vote Leave and our joint investigation into Russian interference

A new all-electric double-decker Climate Stripes bus has started taking passengers around Reading today.
The bus shows the warming stripes for Reading back to the 1860s and will hopefully help start climate conversations amongst passengers.

Security lies in cooperation, not isolation. We are stronger against emerging global threats when we work with Europe, not when we observe on the sidelines.

Nature is the "ultimate foundation" for the economy, the King has told global experts meeting in Britain to discuss the decline in biodiversity.
Charles told delegates at an @ipbes.net meeting that nature is "vitally important" and underpins the climate, food, water and air we rely on.

Trump, his administration, and American tech oligarchs are waging a hybrid war on Europe.
They are attacking us because they fear our potential. They know Europe could be a true world power if we actually united.
We need to stop asking for permission and dare to be ourselves

These are some of the oldest terrestrial plants on Earth, with fossil evidence indicating they were among the first organisms to colonize land around 475 million years ago. Try wrapping your head around that.
