Well done for this brave trip, and actually you put yourself at considerable risk as the Israelis are losing any sense of human dignity or respect. I think they are too far into this ethnic cleansing to stop. The Israelis are getting ready to expel 2 million people.
Yesterday, I was barred from entering the West Bank by Israeli officials, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation. What's happening here in Palestine is unjust. We've just witnessed what Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and many others have called a genocide unfold in Gaza. We came here to show the world, and to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The Israeli government didn't allow that.

As an Arsenal fan, I'm embarrassed the way this man was treated. But he is thriving at Villa and it's great to see.
Unai Emery turning up to the Ballon d’Or in an Aston Villa suit. That’s my manager. 🥹💜💙

HISTÓRICO! Claudia Sheinbaum, presidente do México, inicia sua coletiva de imprensa saudando a vitória do presidente Lula, faz o L e manda um recado a Trump e ao imperialismo americano: “É um sopro de ar fresco para a América Latina e o Caribe.” Espalhe esse video!

Because @DanielJHannan is a twisted liar like all of his Brexiteer co-conspirators. Let these losers rot in jail while the rest of the UK rejoices when we rejoin the European Union.
"Nobody is threatening our place in the Single Market..." This was the promise by the leaders of the Brexit "Leave" campaign (including Farage) before the Referendum in 2016.

Sentíos orgullosos de ser la aldea gala en Europa. De ser una luz de esperanza entre tanta penumbra en el mundo. Si Brasil pudo, ESPAÑA PUEDE. ¡El próximo #29N la esperanza vencerá al retroceso!

Burnham is teeing it up for a manifesto commitment - and that’s the right way to do it.
BREAKING: "I will never move ahead of the British public when it comes to Brexit." The PM has ruled out re-joining the EU within 'this parliament', but he would 'like' to see the UK return in his lifetime. trib.al/apj80h1 📺 Sky 501

Results from Serbia and Brazil (following Hungary) suggest that all those columns on the death of democracy are ..much exaggerated. Now let's see how it performs in Israel and the US. Whatever the results it's an extraordinary moment for assessing its vitality or weakness

I met with the defence ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom in Paris today for talks on support for Ukraine, European defence and the conflicts in the Middle East. There is a new diplomatic push for peace in Ukraine, but Putin's actions tell a different story. In recent days, Russia has again launched heavy attacks on Kyiv and sunk civilian ships in the Black Sea. There is little hope for imminent peace in Ukraine. Our task is to help Ukraine withstand the attacks and increase the costs for Russia. This month, the EU has adopted the largest sanctions listings against Russia since the war started, and more are in the works.

theguardian.com/politics/202… “There had been reciprocal benefits of free movement for Britons, particularly for young members of the population wanting to experience living in Europe” At last, that simple fact is acknowledged! It’s a two-way street #Rejoin

"We all knew what we were voting for..." 🤣🤣🤣 You've got to laugh.
Replying to @vivamjm
Rubbish, we all knew what we were voting for and your side kept relentlessly telling us. Leaving the EU meant leaving the CU, SM and saw the end to free movement.

Today, the people of Serbia turned out in record numbers to shape their country’s future. Congratulations to the Student List on its victory in the parliamentary elections. We stand ready to support reforms on the rule of law, media freedom, the fight against corruption and strong democratic institutions, and to work together to advance Serbia’s future in the European Union. @eucopresident

We forget that it's not just Ukraine that has everything at stake when opposing Putin's illegal war. Belarus, Moldova, Poland and the Baltic States and more cannot afford to have a mad out-of-control Russian elephant in their front room.
#Belarus has lost another of its bravest. Vital "Vitushka" Tryhubau was 34. One of the first Belarusian volunteers to defend Ukraine after February 2022, he died covering his fellow fighters from the battalion. He gave his life defending Ukraine - and our freedom. Remember him.

Whose fault was that Frostie? We had no idea because we didn't count anyone in or anyone out. We had literally no idea. Other EU countries require you to register at the council, you get a police check and they ask whether you've got a job and enough money. When I asked Teresa May why she didn't deploy this policy she said "It's just not British". We've no-one to blame for this immigration negligence but ourselves.
It is hardly surprising that someone open to rejoining the EU would be open to free movement. Burnham's romanticised picture of EU membership ignores the fact that we literally had no idea who was coming into the country before 2016. We were always told there were 3 million EU citizens in Britain. When we counted them we discovered there were 6 million. Any attempt to return to free movement has to reckon with the fact that a country like Spain has legalised the status of a million plus illegal migrants since then, and with the very visible tensions and anxieties amongst EU member states on the subject. There can be no viable policy which doesn't involve HMG having full control over who comes into this country. We aren't there at the moment, but we will need to get there in the end. Andy Burnham may not understand this now, but he will have to do so eventually.

Well said @libdemdaisy
“Freedom of movement… would be a really good thing for growth” Lib Dem Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper says re-joining EU free movement, along with free movement of things like “capital and trade” would boost the economy #BBCLauraK bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001bv0…

This was Minsk six years ago today. Hundreds of thousands of Belarusians took to the streets for freedom on October 25, 2020. I know how hard these years have been. But we have not given up on our country. I will keep working for the day we can all live there without fear.
