Ben Goldsborough MP has kindly agreed to open the debate for us. I am meeting Ben on the 4th to discuss why I started the petition.

One phone call from Moscow can turn off U.S. technology.

The next time Nick Clegg in invited onto BBC to pontificate as an independent tech expert…please note that here he is, named in the $27bn New Mexico judgment as one of execs engaged in a systematic cover-up of Facebook’s deceptive consumer practices.

Really glad the BBC is standing up for itself, in a way other US networks didn’t. https://t.co/K9ZZPmQ35m

The stated position of the Trump administration is that the President of Russia is a humanitarian and that the President of Ukraine should be removed from office.
The American electorate have a chance to make their feelings about this known in less than two weeks.

Calling Putin a humanitarian is like calling Epstein a protector of children.

Musk Ordered Starlink Slowdown which has led to Russians successfully killing innocent Ukrainian civilians.

Isn’t there a term for providing aid and comfort to our enemies? https://t.co/91YRfiYPHO

What. The. Actual. Fuck…
Praising Vladimir Putin as a humanitarian? What world are you living in? It’s obscene

🙌 Ten years after Brexit, the tone in Brussels is changing.

MEPs across political groups are openly talking about Britain “correcting the mistake” … from a special partnership all the way to full EU membership.

The door isn’t shut. Britain now has to decide whether it wants to walk back through it.

Are you telling me that Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock lied to us?!

Thank you, @kajakallas, for speaking plainly. All European leaders should follow your lead.

In April of this year, the U.S. Army conducted an exercise in Germany called Joint Resolve, inviting Ukrainian drone units to participate.

At the height of discussions in the Oval Office about possible American amphibious landings on the Iranian coast, U.S. generals wanted to test whether their best ground combat division could withstand an enemy highly skilled in modern drone warfare. And during those exercises in Germany, an ordinary Ukrainian FPV drone unit reportedly completely wiped out the U.S. Army's 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Cavalry Division, approximately 3,500 soldiers from Fort Hood, Texas, in the simulated battle.

Thanks to Ukraine, American generals were able to see firsthand that a landing operation in Iran could result in devastating casualties among American troops.

When that orange bastard claims that “Ukraine has given America nothing,” he ignores something absolutely priceless that Ukraine has given the United States: the opportunity to avoid yet another strategic catastrophe into which that orange head was pushing the country.

There is an old saying: If you knew where you were going to fall, you would spread some straw to soften the landing. Well, the Ukrainians provided that straw for the Americans.

Only an idiot like Trump could believe that his friend Vladimir, who supposedly provides Iran with only “a little help,” would not send several experienced Russian drone crews to Iran to help destroy American forces.

Ukraine may have saved the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of American soldiers. Because Ukraine did not keep the experience it had gained through blood and sacrifice to itself. Instead, it shared that knowledge with the Americans, even as Trump's decisions betrayed Ukraine.

That experience was purchased with Ukrainian blood. And Ukraine shared it with an ally that should never have turned its back on us.

👏 Peter Kellner hit the nail on the Brexit head:

“Brexiters will continue to say we were right to leave the EU. But only if they include the dead, exclude the young and ignore buyers’ remorse can they still claim to have democracy on their side.”

[Ron Nehring @RonNehring]

There is a war in Ukraine because Russia invaded Ukraine.

Putin can end the war tomorrow by withdrawing his troops.

No American would surrender 20% of American territory for “peace.” Nor should we demand that of anyone else.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🥳 The pro-EU majority continues to grow and deepen.

7m new voters have reached voting age since 2016 and oppose Brexit by about 5:1.

Allowing for turnout, Peter Kellner estimates 3.5m new pro-EU voters versus 700,000 new pro-Brexit voters.

Even if nobody from 2016 had changed their mind, that demographic shift alone would now produce roughly a 55–45 majority for EU membership.

Then add switching: around 5m voters have changed their minds, and roughly three-quarters of them moved from Leave to Rejoin.

Put together, Kellner arrives at:

🇪🇺 Rejoin 63%
🇬🇧 Stay out 37%

A majority of almost 9 million.
