Britain is rejoining Erasmus+.

From 2027, thousands of students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe, gaining international experience and new skills.

Run by the @BritishCouncil, the programme will unlock a range of opportunities for people from different backgrounds across the UK.

Wasn't sure we'd ever see this again. What a race!

Important: Do you have a Power of Attorney? It’s crucial protection, and not just for the elderly, more important than a will. Find out how it works, how to get one and more

80 years ago tonight, 19 Lancaster Bombers, with 133 crew, took off from RAF Scampton to undertake one of the most famous raids in the history of the Royal Air Force.

8 of those aircraft did not return. 53 crew were killed. 3 were taken prisoner.

Lest We Forget.

The Dambusters

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

There was a time when a former Cabinet Minister openly admitting gerrymandering would have been enough to bring down a government.

Not now it seems.

But surely, if nothing else, this pernicious voter ID law now needs to be repealed? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

No, ⁦@BBCNews⁩ - you have deliberately diluted this.

Rees-Mogg said his party was guilty of “gerrymandering” - that’s the clear headline - a much more serious offence. https://t.co/wgnGJWQriJ

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

Rishi Sunak tells #PMConnect that NI is “world’s most exciting economic zone" b/c of access to both GB and EU markets. Earlier he said this "very special position" makes it "incredibly attractive" place to invest. This is, of course, the status *whole* UK had before Brexit 🤔

Mind blowing

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

You’re the party who had the choice between justice done properly and justice done cheaply, and went for the third way: justice not done at all.

You have brought criminal justice to its knees, failing everyone with the misfortune to be dragged into the system, @BorisJohnson.

[Tyrone Mings @TyroneMings]

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

[Dominic Minghella @DMinghella]

The EU didn't want hard borders with us. We did.

There is no "EU Human Rights Act".

Concern over 'unrealistic' conveyancing expectations ahead of stamp duty deadline:

@TheLawSociety says people buying or selling a home now are unlikely to complete by 31 March.

I've been very fortunate to have some excellent immigration & human rights lawyers as colleagues in the past. They do great work, often up against very tight deadlines. Holding govt depts to account is not 'activism'. Good to see the below statement from @TheLawSociety

[The Law Society @TheLawSociety]

We condemn a Home Office video referring to immigration lawyers who provide legal advice to migrants as ‘activist lawyers’.
Solicitors advise their clients on *their rights under the laws created by parliament*

I have thought for several minutes about how to sum this up, but words fail me.
