Just one final push to get it over that magic 100,000 and get a parliamentary debate? Why not!

NEW: Former MP Andrea Jenkyns, who received a damehood in Boris Johnson's resignation honours, quits the Tory party for Reform, saying it was "not an easy decision" but "the truth is undeniable, the ship is sinking".

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Which.... is the case for all other property owners as well. The gap between the coverage of this proposal and its reality can be seen from space.
memo to farmers protesting today, if you’re desperate to hand your farm to your offspring then give it to them while you’re still alive, panic over, so long as you live another 7 years there’s no inheritance tax

Petition: Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible
I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there ...

Inevitably, all this will fail. People who voted for it will learn the hard way - and just like Brexit, they'll continue to blame everyone else

Totally this. The failure to plan for this is not the issue now. The issue now is to get on with it.
We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.
