Rejoining the customs union would reduce trade friction with the largest free market in the world, Europe. If we're serious about economic growth, we cannot afford to remain on the sidelines.

She warned us all. Nobody wanted to listen. She was right about all of it. He’s even more unhinged than we imagined. We could be just living our peaceful lives right now.

But, no.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

We cannot afford to act in isolation in the face of so many global threats. We must cooperate with Europe if we are serious about our security.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Keir Starmer is talking about closer alignment with Europe, so here are three simple resolutions for 2026, keep the promises on EU relations, take real steps towards the Single Market and Customs Union, and listen to the public that wants closer ties.

Pay back your travel expenses Jenkyns!

Reform UK’s Andrea Jenkyns is claiming travel expenses for her job as Mayor of Lincolnshire, why? Because she lives in Yorkshire (despite saying she lives in Lincolnshire on her nomination forms).

“It might take our producer five minutes to find 60 economists who feared #Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.

But by the time we went on air we had one of each: we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance.

It wasn’t.”

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

What does Europe mean to you? Watch European Movement UK's video featuring Caroline Lucas: bsky.app/profile/euro...
To so many of us, Europe is more than a place, it’s a part of who we are. Hear what the public had to say when we went out and asked them what Europe means to them.

Imagine if a referendum were held in which 52% of those who voted declared that the Earth was flat.

And that subsequently everyone in the UK was forced to behave as if the Earth was indeed flat, and all main parties said "Ok, flat it is. Evidence be damned."

That's Brexit.
