Europe and the UK should come closer together – on security, on economy or on defending our democracies.
Ten years on from Brexit, our futures are as bound as ever.
So, it is in our common interest to be ambitious about our partnership.

This is the most devastating interview and she is an extraordinary MP
"Epstein victims and Al-Fayed victims are watching what we do - they're not listening to what we say."
MP Natalie Fleet says it’s time to talk about the victims of sexual abuse with the same passion we’re talking about how bad the government is.

If you’re affected you should find better legal advice than this post. But essentially:
from 25 Feb if you are British with a 2nd nationality, you MUST use a UK passport to enter the UK. Which is quite a problem if (for example) your UK passport is expired or you’ve been using an EU one for years

This is really what I want people to appreciate. I get that it feels good to be like "well that person's a pedophile too!" But in many cases they weren't. They were just people who didn't think it was a big deal. That's terrible in its own particular way.
I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity
