I would like the U.K. to be next.
Just for once I’d like this country to do the right thing instead of listening to the Israel apologists. ( Specifically this government)

In the last twenty years, mega-donations to political parties from the super-rich haven’t just doubled.

They haven’t just trebled.

They’ve gone up sevenfold.

And that money isn’t generosity.

It’s to buy influence so politicians serve their interests, not our constituents.

Admitting that rejoining the customs union was not “currently” the Government’s official policy, Deputy Prime Minister Mr Lammy did concede that the growth potential of rejoining was “self-evident”

Last week, Amnesty International released a detailed statement documenting that “Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.”

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

This is getting stupid now.

We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.

And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

Attacks on academic freedom refer to threats to freedom of faculty to conduct research, publish, speak, and teach, based on disciplinary expertise without outside political interference.

More importantly, this also includes students’ right to learn.

We shouldn’t have borders between countries. There were no Passports before WW1 and we shouldn’t need them now. It’s politicians trying to take control of us
I knew a Romanian chap who, pre Brexit, lived in Spain where he met his Spanish wife and had a daughter before deciding to move to the UK. I was always amazed how their 7 yr old was able to switch effortlessly between Spanish and English.

Post Brexit I was rather jealous of his Romanian passport.

I visited Ukraine about 15 years ago. It seemed to take forever to cross the border from Poland to Ukraine and a distinct feeling of leaving Europe and entering a country between Europe and Russia. It was known then that corruption there was rife. Huge distinction then between wealthy & very poor
