UK EPP: Alliance EPP. The pro-EU British 4 Freedoms Alliance supporting Europe’s main political party EPP

[Dirk Hazell 🇬🇧🇪🇺 #FBPE #StandWithUkraine @DirkHazell]

December issue of @CounselMagazine interviewing Tim Otty KC on Ukraine/Netherlands case against Russia is powerful advocacy for European Court of Human Rights which no mainstream British political party should undermine.

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Good journalism exposing a party shamelessly betraying its past. Cameron made 2009 euro-candidates sign up to quitting EPP and we all know how that went. This is gutter politics, guaranteeing the brightest and best will spurn an ever feebler parliamentary party.

** BREAKING **
Conservatives will be BANNED from standing as Tory candidates at the next general election unless they sign up to leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, Kemi Badenoch tells @CamillaTominey. @GBNEWS
Camilla Tominey: Robert Jenrick, your colleague has suggested that if they don't sign up to this plan, they should be kicked out of the party. Do you agree with that?
Kemi Badenoch: Well, I was very clear at the shadow cabinet where we agreed completely. It was unanimous that we cannot have a party where people do not abide by manifesto commitments. If you do not agree with leaving the ECHR, then you should not and cannot stand as a conservative candidate at the election.
CT: So are you saying you will kick people out if they rebel against this?
KB: They can be in the party but they cannot stand as MPs.
CT: They cannot stand at the next general election?
KB: No no no no no. We have lots of members who have lots of views. We don't remove people for having slightly different views on policy. But if you want to be a Member of Parliament as a Conservative, then you need to understand that leaving the ECHR is a manifesto commitment. More now at @GBNEWS.

Leaving #ECHR nails down coffin of @Conservatives - the dismal trajectory Cameron chose in quitting @EPPGroup https://t.co/Idw67HpEeq

Sympathies to @Nigel_Farage for having, in front of the cameras, to sit next to Kruger explaining - & possibly engaging mouth before brain? - why it’s such a risk for him to join @reformparty_uk 🤭.

@donaldtusk Quite so. 0% excuse for this in a country which suffered so appallingly after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Happy Europe Day to one and all!

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Let’s be worthy of those who sacrificed to make possible VE Day on this 80th anniversary: a Europe freer and more united than ever before in our shared history. And remember those who continued risking and giving their lives to secure VJ Day.

We mourn the passing of Pope Francis, a humble servant of God and tireless advocate for compassion, justice, and mercy. Known as the “people’s Pope,” His Holiness was a beacon of hope, and his legacy of compassion and courage will live on.

[Fx Bellamy @fxbellamy]

Du pape François, nous garderons l’attention aux plus vulnérables, la volonté de contempler, dans ceux que le monde trop souvent méprise, oublie ou rejette, le visage de l’absolu. Au lendemain de Pâques, il nous laisse cet acte de reconnaissance, et d’espérance. Laudato si.

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Yes, congratulations to @CDU. Legacy of @David_Cameron unfortunately lingers with AfD he helped with formal alliance (including Putin).

[EPP @EPP]

A big victory in a crucial moment for Europe! Congratulations to @CDU and @CSU for their victory in the federal elections in Germany. We are confident that a new government under @_FriedrichMerz will deliver the necessary leadership towards a strong Germany in a strong Europe.

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

.@MichelBarnier - a better PM than we have had in the UK for a long time and a worthy successor to the excellent best of the 5th Republic.

[Nicolas Baudon 🇫🇷🇪🇺🇺🇦 @nicobaudon]

Merci de tout cœur monsieur le premier ministre ! @MichelBarnier

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Absolutely correct.

[Fx Bellamy @fxbellamy]

Cette censure l’emporte pour une seule raison : la gauche obéit à Jean-Luc Mélenchon, qui ne cherche qu’à provoquer le chaos, et Marine Le Pen a choisi ce soir de le soutenir. Dans le contexte actuel, rien de meilleur pour le pays ne peut sortir de l’éviction de Michel Barnier.

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Not before time! Yet another @David_Cameron error, appointing oil executive who was … Old Etonian. @PrivateEyeNews reported a considerable time ago on the scandal & Welby should have had to go well before the Coronation.

Punditry is always a risk (though objective facts favoured Trump). The risk you should have taken would have been resisting fatal defect, objectively manifest from the outset, in Cameron’s leadership of the Conservatives. That might have taken you to statesmanship.

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

Journalists would like the US race to seem as close as possible - it suits their appetite for suspense and @afneil ‘s desire to prod the establishment. But he is wrong. Kamala Harris will win. And by much more than “a couple of thousand votes”

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Kemi Badenoch: Partygate was overblown and Boris Johnson was great. We know where we stand then.

James Dyson blasts Rachel Reeves’s ‘spiteful’ budget: anyone who supports Brexit then offshores themselves & businesses would know about spite.

@edwinhayward Excellent!

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Hardly top priority: most at Westminster will still be unelected and those elected are put in by a discredited voting system. Whitehall still over-centralises the UK and there’s no sign of Johnson’s massive transfer of power from legislature to executive being reversed.

[Chris Murray MP @ChrisMurrayMP]

Just voted to abolish the hereditary peers in the House of Lords.

LONG OVERDUE if you ask me. Very pleased the Labour government is getting on with this so swiftly.

[UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine @UK_EPP]

Multiple choice: crocodile tears, stirring with wooden spoon or simply lack of foresight? But, yes, remarkable lacunae from prosecuting barrister.

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

I simply never thought it was possible Labour would be this bad. The biggest shock is Starmer’s astonishing lack of judgement, in pretty much every thing he says and does. Sensible Labour MPs must be utterly despairing
