#Brexit is costing the UK 4% of GDP per year, #OBR has calculated. This is a disaster. For the sake of the British people we must reverse this self inflicted wound or the UK will wither. UK growth could become permanently negative if this continues. #RejoinEU #ClimateCrisis #StandwithUkraine https://shorturl.at/C5hRh

The utter folly of #Brexit shown again. UK is prepared to pay to access EU defence contracts. We were a leading member of the EU, yet xenophobes lied & tricked the British people to the insane position we are in. The EU is a light in a dark world, UK must draw closer to our European family. #RejoinEU #ClimateCrisis https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3q50p7820o

Just listened to #Reform's election broadcast. A hate filled diatribe by #Farage was quite disgusting. There was no attempt to show compassion, empathy or rational political proposals. Nor was there any mention of developing local facilities 4 local people, just an excuse 4 mindless bile. #RejoinEU #ClimateCrisis #NHStreatmentfreeatpointofneed

#IMF highlights the total folly of #Trump's child like economics. World growth will be lower, with the US suffering more than anyone except Mexico. Millions of less affluent US citizens will suffer hardship as this ConMan Trump throws $Billions into the coffers of the rich. #ClimateCrisis #StandwithUkraine

There are many things that I find objectionable about the Government of China. Their stand against #Trump is not one of them. A bully thrives on weakness, Trump will pick off countries one by one. A group of countries can bring Trump back to rationality and an empathic view of humanity. https://shorturl.at/AaNDw #RejoinEU #StandwithUkraine #ClimateCrisis

Starmer's acquiescence to #Trump's disastrous cruel tariffs is wrong. Trump has shown that if he sniffs weakness he will exploit it. The UK must cooperate with the #EU, #Canada, #Australia etc, including China, to lower tariffs for nations outside US. A narcissistic bully only understands strength. Trump is using the US population to forward his illogical fantasies. #RejoinEU #tariffdisaster #

The utter folly of #Brexit highlighted again. UK is frozen out of the EU defence procurement fund. It may be that UK gets some crumbs, but it's a ludicrous situation. UK should be at the centre of the EU, strengthening the EU as the greatest force for good in our troubled world. #RejoinEU #StandwithUkraine https://shorturl.at/Bo8zB

US $ faces worst slide in over a year. #Trump's ignorance of elementary economics starting to damage the US population, they deserve much better. Trump's extortion methods of negotiation are atrocious & sickening to most people. He should study FDR's outstanding performance. https://shorturl.at/N8B4m

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7988r3q1p2o Now we see the #Brexit disaster in its true colours. Trump wants a UK deal. Of course he does, he sees a weak UK outside the #EU, this man has no conscience. We MUST get ever closer to our EU family to guard against characters like Trump. #RejoinEU #StandwithUkraine

Ed Davey's call for the UK to rejoin the EU customs union is apposite. Since #Brexit the UK has been devalued in every way, economic, scientific, medical etc. To regain our place as a force for good we must #RejoinEU. https://shorturl.at/zAjgI

Would you believe it? Well, yes, knowing this #corrupt Govt you would. The #ElectoralCommission, which oversees UK election law, has condemned #Sunak's attempts to gerrymander the rules. These unscrupulous immoral Tories unfit to govern. https://rb.gy/ocxl6a #SunakOut
