So NI is still technically in the EU.
Gibraltar is to all intents and purposes going to remain in the EU.
Scotland wants to be in the EU.
Over 60% of the electorate want to rejoin.
An overwhelming majority of young adults want their FOM back.
4 July beckons - don’t waste it.
Young people are the most suffering the consequences of Brexit. Obstacles instead of the freedom to live and work everywhere in Europe.
Youth mobility between EU member states and the UK for 18-30 year olds would be a great opportunity for young people. https://t.co/P58jyuSmoU
When I was growing up we had no money to buy books. All I had was my local library. I spent hundreds of hours in it. But for that library I might never have become a lawyer. A thousand have closed under Conservative Governments. It’s almost like they don’t want us to read
🎉🌼🌸April Fools! 🌸🌼🎉
Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.
In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.
For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.
It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.
I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

#WhyLearnGerman? Some 2,500 🇩🇪 companies have 🇬🇧 subsidiaries, employing some 450,000 people. Deutsche Post/DHL, Deutsche Bahn/Arriva, Aldi & Lidl are the largest, but there’s a huge variety of smaller German employers that will prize UK staff with German-language skills ‼️

Learning a #foreignlanguage at school is life-changing.
I wholeheartedly agree with @LordRickettsP and @CatrionaSeth that a long-term national strategy is urgently needed to train and retain inspirational teachers and encourage more students to learn modern languages. #now

“ My next tour will use 78 days of my permitted 90. If I am offered another EU tour of longer than 12 days before March next year, I will not be able to accept it. The 90/180 day rule is killing both our ability to earn a living and our contribution to the UK economy.
"I recently toured the EU with a band as an LED technician... The tour played five cities, and used seven articulated trucks full of lighting... All the techs had to apply for A1 certification, via HMRC."
