Loss of Freedom of Movement in Europe has been devastating to British freelancers and small businesses that rely upon mobility at short notice to provide services across Europe.

Only an EU passport solves the problem.

It’s a serious criminal offence to conspire to remove a UK Prime Minister

Meanwhile, let’s have a look at Steve Bannon’s well documented and ultimately successful attempts to remove Theresa May (with Epstein’s support) from 2018-19

“The Epstein files make it clear that Gill was not one bad apple, but part of something much bigger and darker: a web of far-right, Russia-linked anti-democratic forces. It is an oblique and shady movement, in which [Farage] appears to be embroiled deeply.”

I have drawn them several times outside my former work projects. Here are Rievaulx Abbey, Fountains Abbey and St Mary's Abbey in York.

They deliberately chose isolated locations and 'waste lands'.

Meaux Abbey had a lot to do with draining around the River Hull, that enabled the town to develop there.

Have you heard of something called the Guga hunt?

Every year, baby gannets are killed for food under a special legal exemption

Please sign the petition calling on NatureScot to stop licensing the Guga hunt.

Yes - if 40% of the UK Voting Age Population does not vote (as in 2024) and Labour won a third of the votes of those who did vote, that means the Labour landslide was based on 20% of the Voting Age Population. This is not an anti Labour point- it is a pro democracy point.
Appreciate there are no perfect electoral systems, but FPTP has been increasingly difficult to defend on a democratic viability basis since 2014 (I despise UKIP, but they amplified the FPTP issues).

With GEs now seeing FPTP majorities on <30% vote shares, 70% disenfranchised rate isn't sustainable.

🚨 Peter Thiel, Palantir co-founder, is a rich powerful man named in the Epstein files.

I raised concerns in opposition.

The power & intellectual imbalance between big tech and politicians matters. It's easy to be bamboozled safeguards and transparency are imperative.

Yup. I went in 2018 for one day to give a paper: it was v expensive even then, despite being able to do it as a 1 hr each way train journey. A conference is the price of a holiday.

The problem has been that, due to Blue Labour, they decided to pander to far-R prejudices – the 'hero voters' – while alienating majority of core vote, members & supporters. Being xenophobic, transphobic, kicking refugees & ppl with disabilities – is that *rlly* what Labour is meant to do?

2/12 There is a reason why Putin, Musk, Trump, Vance, Thiel, and Xi all spend fortunes to attack Brussels.

They do not hate the EU because it fails.

They hate it because of its potential.

Our unity is their nightmare
