Is the Brexit fantasy falling apart after less than a decade? Dissent is growing rapidly - and closer EU alignment has its financial benefits.

A Youth mobility scheme will foster cultural exchange, build trust between nations & help to rebuild a UK-EU relationship that will drive economic growth & bolster security - isn’t that exactly what the Labour government pledged to do in its manifesto?

So why oppose it?

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

BBC Questiontime tonight should really have been called "Zia Yusuf's Reform show" given how much time Fiona Bruce gave him to speak uninterrupted #BBCQT

Thankfully, audience members repeatedly called out and rejected Reform blaming immigrants for a lack of public services 👏
