During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!

Lobbyists for Big Tech now outnumber MEPs

On average, there are 3 meetings a day between Big Tech lobbyists + senior EU figures. Meanwhile an NGO fighting to stop people's water supplies being hoovered up by data centres will wait months to get a single meeting.

A fascinating listen 👇
💸 Do you know how much money Big Tech is spending on lobbying in Brussels? How has this amount been increasing? On what is the money being funnelled to and what can we do about it?

🇪🇺 How many times can the EPP side with the far right before we stop calling it an exception?

Despite reassurances from VDL, Manfred Weber and Roberta Metsola, the EPP continues to strike tactical alliances with far-right groups whenever numbers are tight.

In today’s edition of “What Can I Do?”:

Use “we” instead of “I” when addressing the issues of dangers, challenges, strategies, etc.

It may sound insignificant, but it’s an immensely powerful action.

“We” forces us to focus on the necessity of collective protection against shared threats.
Last thing I forgot, I promise!

Defensively shutting down over a call-out replicates the shitty power dynamics you think you’re fighting.

Black folks tiptoe around white feelings; women bend over backwards to not upset men.

REPEAT
and
REMEMBER

Ego is the antithesis and enemy of solidarity.
Forgot to add: expect to get called out when you fuck up, and view it for what it is: an act of love, not an attack.

Defensiveness instinct (to avoid shame) signals ego “I” attachment vs. higher “we” commitment: the collective good.

Instead:

Reflect.
Recalibrate.
Grow.

(It’s a gift)
