I'm proud to present my 🇪🇺 Youth Mobility Scheme Bill 🇬🇧 – a vital step to give young Brits the chance to live, work, and study across Europe.
The botched Brexit deal robbed them of these opportunities. It's time to fix that and reset our relationship with the EU.

I couldn’t give a damn about Badenoch’s speech today. They’re out of power. 4+years from an election. Incapable of working out where they went wrong. Unapologetic for the damage they’ve done. Pathologically dishonest and very unpleasant. Nothing she says will change that. Nothing she says matters.

Weaker, poorer, unhappier, more divided and with an emboldened and radicalised loud minority who champion overt racism and selling out to Musk and Trump…
This is where Brexit has led us. Over and above these dismal numbers. That is the true cost.

Farage would have us believe that he's hugely popular with young men.
Seems that young people have a rather different view on the matter.

Just remember that the same people who are offended by Sadiq Khan being knighted were perfectly happy when Jacob Reed Mogg was knighted and people like Toby Young, Charlotte Owen, Ruth Fox, Therese Coffey, and Shaun Bailey were put in the House of Lords. Ignore them.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).
