(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

"Public sentiment toward Brexit has changed dramatically since the 2016 referendum, when 52% of voters chose to leave the European Union (EU)...

One of the key factors driving this shift is not merely people changing their minds but rather a demographic process known as “cohort replacement.”"

No opposition voiced by the govt. your thousands of emails stopped them shutting it down.

Well done @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social on a superb speech. 👏👏👏

🇪🇺The Motion for an EU-UK Youth Mobility Scheme has passed!🇪🇺

Together, we can rebuild opportunities across Europe for the next generation.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported me today.
❗ TODAY ❗

I'm proud to present my 🇪🇺 Youth Mobility Scheme Bill 🇬🇧 – a vital step to give young Brits the chance to live, work, and study across Europe.

The botched Brexit deal robbed them of these opportunities. It's time to fix that and reset our relationship with the EU.

Anyway, some positivity. Ed Davey gave a good smart speech this morning, and I think his party’s new policy on the EU is good for the pro-European cause more broadly and the Liberal Democrats specifically:
Lib Dems chart a distinctive pro-European course
Forging closer ties between UK and EU may prove sensible electoral strategy for UK’s third party

When you break from the herd, as we did with Brexit, you become vulnerable. It’s no surprise that Musk has targeted us as a punch bag. Or that the vicious clowns who fetishised ‘sovereignty’ and ‘control’ are brown-nosing him now. ‘Make Britain great again’. Christ, you stupid traitorous bastards.

The rest of the UK calls on everyone who actually cares about democracy - and the economic recovery of this country - to demand our govt clears up the epic Brexit mess made by this lying piece of shit. And to never allow him and his brand of populist garbage anywhere near power again.
