Hi, just to introduce myself: I'm Mark, work in Geneva- live in France. I used my freedom of movement rights to make a life for myself. Now trying to do my small bit to return those rights to those who have lost them. This is the view, right now, from my house. That's Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc.

I’m tired of Starmer's Labour playing Trump’s lap dog whilst at the same time ignoring the desperate need for the UK to rejoin the SM and CU.
It’s about time our government showed some balls.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
