‘Now we’re awake’: everyone onboard and the EU bus is leaving. Will UK be on it?

Keir Starmer underlines at #PMQs that President Zelenskyy is a democratically elected leader.

And that suspending elections was exactly what the UK did during the Second World War, due to the difficulty of holding elections during wartime when so many citizens are displaced.

Leaving the ECHR could result in the UK’s trade deal with the EU being terminated because the convention is written into the 2020 Trade & Co-operation Agreement & would also breach the Good Friday Agreement which requires the Convention be directly enforceable in Northern Ireland
“At some point we will probably have to leave the ECHR”

says Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch today

Joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the European Convention on Human Rights is a VERY VERY BAD IDEA - THIS IS WHY

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Reeves defends China visit, hails £600m UK investment over next 5 yrs.

What?

Can get £100bn boost by joining the EU

HMRC failed to collect £500bn tax since 2010

Can boost economy by equitable distribution of income/wealth, but not on govt agenda.

Need policy change
