Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored.
We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

I support Davey's project to return the UK to the CU. It's a big breach in the establishment wall around Brexit. But it's the SM which is far more important to our trade. I suspect Davey has steered clear of that because of FoM. If so, that's disappointing.
We should have a referendum on FoM.

There’s a small proportion of the population that are anti-immigration & will back Brexit to the end. It’s infuriating that Starmer still panders to them. They’re already Reform. For the sake of the economy,why can’t he back SM & CU re-entry? Labour are petrified of Brexit,fumbling along. Shameful 🤷🏻♂️
The @UKLabour party is losing ground because it’s trying to please Brexit believers who likely didn’t even vote Labour.
The majority want to rejoin the EU but Labour is intent on trying to continue Brexit and Brexit only ensures failure.

While animal movements are largely regulated through electrical signals and muscle contractions, plant movements are controlled primarily through hormone signaling, changes in turgor pressure, and cell wall loosening.

"Nature knows best" and "Crop production should function like Nature" are enticing ideas, but there is no evidence they work as consistent strategies.
