Toe in the water over here to see if it’s more…civilised (and less MuskTrumpian)
It’s been ruinously expensive, in more ways than one
It hasn’t worked, big time
It can’t be made to work, ever
It’s time to start on the path to #RejoinEU
The worst airports in Europe for post-#Brexit border queues
There will be 3 types of Brit with time to reflect on their EU Referendum stance as they queue; Leave, Remain and Didn’t Vote

As long as electricity remains 3-4 x more expensive than gas per kilowatt hour, this heat pump initiative is of little financial use for most people
That’s the thing that must change
As the grid gets greener, there’s no excuse for avoiding that change!

Trump’s tariff threat on Greenland is a golden opportunity for Starmer – it is time to #Rejoin the EU
Now, more than ever, it’s clear we’d be #StrongerTogether
And Starmer does indeed have an ‘excuse’ to go for it!
NOT to do so would be a strategic failure…

“The security of our constituents compels us to get real and bold on the EU reset. The UK cannot play at being an economic rival to the EU while the machinations of Trump, Putin and Xi require us to be the closest of strategic allies”

“Were Trump to take a fancy to Scotland – hell, he owns a couple of golf courses so why not the whole country: first he takes Turnberry then he takes Holyrood – what would Starmer do then? Apart from saying how disappointed he was”

Water firms could be let off pollution fines as part of government overhaul
This government always seems to think it sufficient to tinker at the edges of the big problems we face, rather than make the necessary bold moves

Commit to a referendum in May 2028 asking the next government to rejoin the EU
There’s little chance of such a Referendum taking place (and we know they’re a very blunt instrument in the UK,anyway), but it’s worth signing and sharing to keep up pressure!

Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US
European solidarity in the face of Trump’s bullying of his ‘allies’ was never more necessary
