More powerful evidence of the disaster of #Brexit from @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social. If we’re to avoid yet more austerity, we need to start by rejoining the customs union & single market. Brexit was a reckless waste of money we simply can’t afford @europeanmovement.co.uk
Rachel Reeves is studiously ignoring the cause of Britain’s woes: the Brexit-shaped hole in its roof | Jonathan Freedland

Enabling freedom of movement is vital for strengthening the UK economy, and rejoining the Erasmus+ programme would be an important step towards achieving this.

Today, Members of Parliament voted overwhelmingly AGAINST Nigel Farage's bill to take the UK out of the ECHR. This is a win for all those who want to protect our last line of defence of our rights and freedoms.

Over 55,000 people have called on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights, standing against a reckless push to repeat the mistakes of Brexit. Today their names were handed in, a reminder that this country still believes in cooperation, justice and the rule of law.

Dominic Grieve is right. Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be a reckless act of self-harm, breaking security ties, breaching international law, and weakening Britain’s standing while doing nothing to solve the problems this government pretends to fix.

What Reform’s “detain and deport” really means:
❌ Sending people to torture and death.
❌ Making the UK a rogue state outside international law.
❌ Higher prices as leaving the ECHR wrecks our EU trade deal.
This is not about control, it is about cruelty - we must stand against it.

No matter how much the government, major parties, or tabloid press push “Brexit benefits…”
People know Brexit doesn’t.
Brexit leaves the UK in a structurally weaker position, bleeding money, time, efficiency and opportunity daily.
