Norway, Iceland, Switzerland & Liechtenstein are in the Single Market but not the EU. Andorra, Monaco, San Marino & Turkey have customs unions with the EU for certain sectors. I'd prefer our first step toward rejoining to be more like Norway or Switzerland than Turkey. That means Freedom of Movement

I’ve investigated a lot of domestic violence cases and something was gnawing at me about the way Trump lashes out at a female reporters.
Then it occurred to me that “Quiet, piggy!” is probably something Trump’s dad screamed at Trump’s mom.
ABUSE IS GENERATIONAL.

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.
Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.
And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.
Thank you Zack. 💪

It can't solve the crisis:
It is a monopoly
No competition
No substitute service
Owners want profit
Customers will be fleeced
Public ownership is the only viable option.

Anything given to TW can't be denied to others. Sewage will be dumped. Customers will be fleeced. Returns will be extracted.
