So #Reform want to cut the price of a pint by 5p. Laudable, you might think, but wait til you hear how they'll pay for this. They plan to fully fund this promise by reinstating the two-child benefit cap. This gives an insight into the minds of Farage's heartless Party, & the lengths they will go to if they think there's a few votes in it. This heartless policy would be paid for by returning 450K children to poverty. Reform have already demonstrated their heartlessness by their treatment of care home residents, now they propose to increase inequality in an already inequitable & cruel society. Shame on them!! #RejoinEU

Today it is six years since the UK left the EU. And what a disaster it has been.

Labour needs to rediscover that EU membership works
Nigel Farage may be riding high in the polls, but the damaging reality of Brexit is clear to see

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/115762325563043978
Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission
I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).
By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?
Thank you for your consideration
@_elena @EUCommission It's the same thing with @thegreenparty@threads.net where they are also @thegreenparty@mastodonapp.uk on Mastodon but have never posted anything. But want to #RejoinEU so should invest in EU platforms like Mastodon.
The United Kingdom is coming back to Erasmus+!
Negotiations for the United Kingdom’s association to Erasmus+ in 2027 have been concluded.
It will offer significant opportunities across education, training, sports, and youth, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.
This follows the EU-UK Strategic Partnership agreed at the first ever Summit in May.
A step forward for youth, education, and cooperation, together again. 🤝
@EUCommission I hope they fix theirs mistake and #RejoinEU 🇪🇺

Funny how many donors to Farage and people close to him get money from Russia, then pass it on to him. I mean it’s almost like he’s a traitor and a Russian asset, but that can’t be true of the great patriot, can it?…..

No one is suggesting you can print these out on a home preinter really easily- or a few people together can get them printed cheaply if they split the costs

The knives are out for # Starmer, & he has brought it on himself. He has attempted to Govern for the newspaper barons, & earned himself the accolade "worst Labour Prime minister ever," even from those who lent him their vote to be rid of the worst #Tory reign ever. When he looks back, may he reflect that it was because he closed his ears & his mind. Not least, by his dismissive & patronising "not in my lifetime" blob.

Well said.
"Imagine a family stuck in a house that constantly floods. The carpets are soaked, the walls damp. It’s always cold, no matter how much they turn up the heating.
"The family try everything. They promise to replace the sodden carpets and find new, innovative ways to warm the house. Someone with a laptop wonders if AI might be the answer. But no one ever looks upwards and says: maybe we should just repair the giant hole in the roof.
"Britons are that family – and the giant hole in the roof is Brexit."

@timrichards yes, very well put! I bet UK's economy would boost if the gov just tried to get back into talks with EU about a #RejoinEU

I keep seeing people saying "Brexit was a 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲".
I think you mean the direct result of a conspiracy by billionaires who wanted to weaken the EU, and open up the UK to exploitation, including forcing private health care on us, with some assistance from Russia.
Have people really forgotten Tice visiting the billionaires, and then bragging "We're going to take the UK out of the EU"?
It was a scam, a fraud, a crime, not just a 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲.
