Had blog called Conversations with Europe to chat with engaged folk across #Europe, since 2016. Now a voice for #Rejoin. European Federalist. #IAmEuropean
I'm sure I speak for millions when I say that my passion for the UK being in the EU was not a 4 year whim, but has been an integral part of my identity for all of my adult life.
I treasured the rights & freedoms I had & took full advantage of them - doing so enriched my life.

If I see another tweet from an MP of any party suggesting we move on and remainers and leavers are now in this together.... 🤬 They just don’t get it, it’s like asking someone who has been abused to not only forgive their abuser but help them with their abuse. Sorry, NO!
There’s now a border in the Irish Sea, Gibraltar is in Schengen, we’re not part of Erasmus and if we diverge from EU standards we’ll be hit with tariffs.
The PM promised he’d never sign up to any of the above.
So 11pm & #Brexit is done
Today’s a sad day for so many of us - but tomorrow we’ll pick up struggle again for future based on closer ties with countries which share our values & for greater cooperation to tackle climate crisis
We’re #StillEuropean & will fight for better future
Today marks an end. But also a beginning. The emperor is about to strut about the place completely naked. Ministers and tabloids will want to praise his tailors’ refinery.
Make your resolution to be the kid who calls the whole charade out.
Happy New Year! 🍾
Gove is seriously deluded if he thinks there are no longer leavers and remainers and we should all accept this outcome and Come together . I shall forever remain a remainer.
Mrs May, sitting in the Commons in a striking orange outfit, must be reflecting on how this is a man’s world. She comes up with a crap deal and her party says it’s crap. Johnson comes up with a crap deal and her party says it’s historic.
So disappointing to hear @Keir_Starmer pretend those of us voting against the Deal are voting for No Deal.
The Government has a majority of 80. This Deal will go through - but by supporting it, Labour is taking joint responsibility for it - now and in the future
In other words, under the definition of sovereignty that justifies Brexit for the ERG there was never any need for Brexit. Even after all this time, I still marvel at the mutton-headedness of it all.
