Slough for Europe
@sloughforeu.bsky.social
Cross party group for Slough people (and anyone else) who want a better post Brexit relationship with the EU.
Other than the promotion of Nigel Farage, does anyone know what Nigel Farage's principles are?
Farage is pretending he has principles...

Musk's fall out with Farage continues - interesting to see some of the comments and what Musk's fans think Farage should be doing. Seems that he's not racist enough for a lot of people... 🙄

Sorry Mr Farage, we weren't expecting you - you seem to have misread the H on the invite as a C.

WTF is this nonsense?
Can Daily Telegraph columnists be charged with inciting treason? Is this the actual Brexit that they wanted all along?

Could this be the start of Starmer's climb down on his Brexit position?
Was always inevitable Labour would need to move on youth mobility, and that would probably be part of an overall package. There's nothing else that's new in this long report, for ambition to remove SPS barriers doesn't make that happen...

It's a shame this site doesn't do polls yet - I really would like to get an idea of how many people in the UK regularly talk about abortion laws at home. Suspect the numbers are tiny.

It’s time for outriders to start riding out. Labour MPs, perhaps the odd minister, can begin to make the case that is becoming increasingly obvious to many millions of Britons. One by one, the premises of Britain’s 2016 Brexit decision are crumbling.

Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU | Jonathan Freedland
From defence to trade, the incoming US president is upending the old order – and standing apart from our neighbours leaves us dangerously exposed, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Why has Farage suddenly become interested in abortion?
He never seemed particularly religious or interested in medical ethics.
Interesting that the far right in this country are now putting abortion top of their agenda. Always has been part of it, as my book states, but I wondered when this would start ramping up…

Andrea Jenkyns has defected from the Tories to Reform.
Worth noting though that she currently holds no elected role in the party, having lost her seat at the last General Election.

Kind of wild how a load of people think they are going to get a general election because they signed an online petition and Starmer isn't as popular at the moment as he was on day 1.
It wasn't that long ago that this happened 👇

A myth about what happened on July 4 is undermining Rachel Reeves’s hopes of boosting Britain’s economy.
The myth is that Labour won the election by winning back thousands of strongly pro-Brexit voters in Red Wall constituencies that had swung to the Tories in 2019.

Did avoiding ever making any critical mention of Brexit actually harm Labour's vote share in the red wall in 2024?

Supporting Brexit is *not* a belief that is protected from workplace discrimination, an employment tribunal has ruled, as a former Ukip councillor lost her claim of bullying & harassment by her charity employer because she supported the UK’s departure from the EU.

Farage will jump on any convenient bandwagon for publicity- to get his charlatan mug on the telly, even if he sold the very same people down the river in the past.

Have just updated this starter pack to include all the recent arrivals I've spotted here.
I've just created a starter pack for the pre-EU groups from the UK that are on here.
Let me know if there are any that I've missed.
