Six years after it was scrapped, Erasmus+ is coming back. As our Campaigns Manager, Richard Kilpatrick, explains, this goes far beyond university exchanges, supporting schools, youth programmes, vocational training and deprived communities across the UK.

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

This is a great point to make. It's important to recognize many news orgs go against their readers interests and lobby on behalf of advertisers. But it's difficult to find a case more blatant and hideous than this one
Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions £ in advertising and referral deals.
For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas")

Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.
