Delighted to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social agrees with me and @savefom.bsky.social that restoring mutual Freedom of Movement of people should be a priority and a first stage in rebuilding relations with the EU.

Just fantastic. ♥️

A simple rule of thumb: Any politician who proclaims to be pro-EU while avoiding supporting re-entry to the Single Market is afraid of mentioning Freedom of Movement. Many have been playing that game for 10 years, and pro-EU voters are wise to it. Anything without Freedom of Movement is still Brexit

Liverpool has 12,764 households on its social housing waiting list. It has just five "additional social rent dwellings".

What is the govt doing?

Watch the Minister's reply.

Heading back aboard the TLK Małopolska, a classic loco-hauled train with opening windows, my favourite way to travel in Poland! Shame to get a 'Peter' locomotive instead of something more classic though...

Such incredible blue skies too, the weather today is all over the place. 😂
