This is a sad week for Europe, but this is not the end of our story. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ช๐บ
As our former MEP @AlynSmith once said: "I am not asking you to solve our domestic discussions. I am asking you to leave a light on so we can find our way home"
We will ๐๐ฏ๏ธ
#Brexit
@RhonddaBryant You are the guy that makes it easy for ๐ท๐บ to export to ๐ฌ๐ง and harder for ๐ฌ๐ง to export to the ๐ช๐บ while lying about delivering touring for bands, that is in your manifesto.
Starmer's UK-EU summit is as dead as his government
Too many red lines
Nothing to talk about โฐ๏ธโ ๏ธ
David whitters on about the usual blaming both sides.
The UK-EU summit provisionally set for July 13 is in doubt.
This should come as no surprise to those noticing we're coming closer to the date with no announcement.
There are considerable frustrations on both sides as to current talks and future plans.

@granviledufleur@danielanadj77 I don't really understand how the English managed to ever have an empire because the current lot of English aren't really up to even governing their own country very well.
It is like governing and managing seem impossible to them at any level!
@granviledufleur@danielanadj77 The UK had the permanent chair of the single market comittee
The UK directed european policy all the time.
You gave that up for ** NOTHING **
When Ukraine was threatened by Russia ***

So the possibility of directing EU policy, now and again, as opposed to being 100% free to control our own policies in the interest of the British People ALL THE TIME.
Yeah Stuart you canโt win this argument,
which is why no matter how often we told you why we voted to leave, you just ignore it and start prattling on about the economy and queues at passport control.
WE NEVER CARED ABOUT THIS. Most of us canโt afford to go to the local Zoo, let alone go on a holiday to a European country, and this is WHILST WE WERE IN THE EU!!!, and yes nothing has changed.
We still canโt afford anything, and have to choose to eat or heat.
Thatโs the World the majority working class Leave voters you sneer at, exist in.
You will never understand us because you refuse to listen and you donโt live the poor hard lives we live day to day.
We want an independent Britain, whatever the cost.
Because you consistently refuse to listen, you have woken the working class majority again, and you will have to live with the consequences, a Reform Government, which will likely be quickly followed by a Restore Britain Government, when Reform betrays the working classes.
@granviledufleur@danielanadj77 Yet, when the time came after 2014 you instead chose to run away and undermine the EU with Brexit instead of using the chair of the single market and the EU parliament to gather support throughout the EU in order to prevent the invasion in 2022.
You are an insular, coward.
@Tolstoy1999@Simon_Nixon "The nationalists were trying to protect the union, which the unionists wanted to break"
Sinn Fein defended the GFA, unionists didn't.
Now ignoring strands 2 & 3.
NI, Wales and Scotland governments voted against the Brexit agreement, Westminster didn't.

An important article ๐ from @NigelDoddsDUP about his EU Withdrawal Bill, which gets First Reading in the Lords today.
It would provide for the dismantling of the pernicious Windsor Framework in Northern Ireland, and its replacement by mutual enforcement arrangements, so that *all* of us in the UK would set our own laws, and so that the necessary reforms to our economic life could be accomplished without leaving Northern Ireland behind.
Of course this government has no intention of doing this. As Lord Dodds notes, they are proceeding with the European Partnership Bill which will start the process of giving further powers to Brussels.
But it is important to show there is an alternative, a feasible and practical one. Once this government is gone, I hope its successor can get things back on the right track and restore full democracy to all our country.

@granviledufleur@danielanadj77 I am chatting to someone in Odessa at the moment.
I'm teaching her how to grow Sunflowers because life is difficult for her. ๐๐ป
Any message you would like me to pass on as to why you failed to prevent the 2022 invasion after doing nothing after 2014, apart from Brexit?
@granviledufleur@danielanadj77 I don't understand
Please explain why someone who seems to like freedom so much didn't use their unique political power as the chair of the single market comittee, (the most powerful european politician) to help Ukraine more and direct the whole EU?
Instead of running away?

Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage should be arrested for inciting riots.
Any normal person would've already been charged released on bail!
The problem is, they aren't normal people, and this is what actual "two-tier" policing looks like in the UK.
@granviledufleur@danielanadj77 Freedom was cheap.
The cost of being an EU member was ยฃ2.90 per week for every Britain.
For that we had the permanent chair of the single market committee with the power to direct european policy and work with the EU parliament to defend european security & peace under Article 2
Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.
Thereโs no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.
@jessicaelgot I shouldn't worry though.
There is a Labour representative there, so ignoring the refugee convention to watch people drown while ruining people with Brexit and supplying arms to Israel will be fully represented - all while burning the economy.

@Tolstoy1999@Simon_Nixon I used to be a unionist and a member of the Conservative and unionist party
I realised the unionist bit didn't exist and instead there was English nationalism
To confuse things further, the nationalists were trying to protect the union, which the unionists wanted to break. ๐๐คช
