"Boris Johnson, directly echoed this two years later. In May 2016, he told reporters that “if you want an example of EU foreign policy-making on the hoof, and the EU’s pretensions to running a defence policy that have caused real trouble, then look at what has happened in Ukraine”."

If we don’t make a stand now about the over platforming of Reform and the lack of coverage of our other parties, we’ll regret it for decades. The damage will be done and it will be too late. Sign now and please pass on. We have 6 weeks to get to 10k petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Boris Johnson’s “#BrexitPlane” has not flown VIPs for two years and appears to have been used for refuelling other RAF jets over the North sea.
The £900,000 rebrand was criticised as a waste of money.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

With senior Tories now calling for a policy to leave the ECHR here is a reminder of why joining Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR is a very bad idea
As we inch closer to 2025, a good time to remind ourselves (and everyone else) of the importance & benefits of membership of the ECHR

Sad to hear of the death of Pete Sinfield at the age of 80. Lyricist with King Crimson, ELP, Leo Sayer, Bucks Fizz, etc. Think of him when you hear Greg Lake's 'I Believe In Father Christmas' this Christmas or Bucks Fizz 'My Camera Never Lies' or Celine Dion 'Think Twice'.
