I am a Hospice Chaplain who is passionate about people finding their peace and joy.
When I read this sort of language from senior people in the US administration it seems screamingly clear to me that the future of the UK is with our European family, America no longer have our back.

If you think that Faced with Musk, Trump & Putin that Europe needs to stand together and UK should join the EU…

Then join European Movement UK - because that’s exactly the movement we’re building.

And get friends to join too. 👇
European Movement
We're the UK's largest pro-European movement. Our goal is to reverse the calamity of Brexit and restore relations with our European neighbours.

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”

Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Would we really want to take that path?
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

"If we had robust palliative care, then many many fewer people might feel as though this is their only option"

"Wes Streeting has said patients will be coerced to take their life due to a lack of care"

Palliative Care Doctor, Dr Rachel Clarke,

"There are thousands of people suffering unnecessary pain"

"We may be in a peculiar position where we have a state funded dying service but we don't have a state funded palliative care service"

On Monday we learnt that 1 in 3 children are living in poverty…

And that deprivation has hit a record high

Given their new found compassion for struggling Brits

Where’s Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Andrew Lloyd Webber to fight their corner?

The vast majority of UK hospices are charities and get a tiny percentage of funding from central gov. There is a real funding crisis and services are being lost. Please help when you can…https://fb.watch/vZBuWGY05u/?

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.
