Strong backing for our idea of flying EU flag above Leeds Town Hall - on 9 May Europe Day - from visitors to today’s city centre street stall. Those completing EuroMonitor poll also think better EU trade deal more important than new US one. Great #RejoinEU support, too.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Went to a lovely social get together with Green Party members today.
Some of us talked about how big money is being pumped into Reform and how they desperately try to appear popular, using attention seeking methods, bots probably.
But this is what we need for our country 👇
Used to vote for the Labour Party?

Let's talk!

Joe Biden has approved the provision of anti-personnel landmines in Ukraine - a move that will endanger civilian life for years to come.

As a signatory of the UN Anti-Personnel Landmines Convention, the UK government must condemn this irresponsible move.
Biden approves anti-personnel mines for Ukraine, US official says
President Joe Biden has approved provision of anti-personnel land mines to Ukraine, a U.S. official told Reuters, a step that could help slow Russian advances in its east, especially when used along with other munitions from the United States.

Genuine question (as they say...but it really is): what is the inheritance tax status of other non-agricultural business assets--the family shop, for example?
Is it different, and (this is rhetorical) why?

Trump's victory and its huge consequences for the US and the rest of the world remind me of Galadriel's words in LOTR.

"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost."

On 31st Dec 2023 Mogg's REUL Bill revoked 600 EU/UK laws with 1000's more for the chop by 2026, 3 main areas were employment rights, food safety and environmental laws.
My question for former human rights lawyer Keir Starmer
'Are you going to keep revoking EU/UK laws as per Moggs' REUL Bill?'
