Congratulations to all those countries including Slovakia, now my new home. Glad to have played a small part in its accession on the EP Joint Parliamentary Committee for Slovak EU accession. Správna voľba a Gratulujem Slovensko!

I remember Leave campaign promises (lies!) Brexit would make food footwear & medicines cheaper. I knew these guys as chancers & charlatans who just made it up as they knew they'd be unaccountable!

Quite right. Dictators like Putin with no empathy for innocent suffering of others only understands brute force or anything which threatens hid totalitarian power structures & particularly his own life or hold on power.

Not a good look and what happened to the King's Flight, that branch of the RAF tasked with jetting Royals & Ministers around the globe? UK under Johnsonism became a mendocracy, then kakistocracy and now a plutocracy! 😆 Not sure whether to laugh or cry as UK governance degrades.

Russian war criminals I pray will one day be held accountable for their fiendish crimes.

Why some of us after more than 3 decades of membership left in disgust. Decency, integrity, honour & moderation coupled to competence & expertise no longer valued or a path to progress or promotion. Brexit fanaticism & loyalty to party leader main quality looked for in selection!

Let's hope some of them can escape and join the Free Russian Forces fighting on Ukrainian side to rid Russia of the evil Putin dictatorship.

Funny old globalised world. Taken by my kids to watch here in Bratislava an American football match between SK St Nicolaus Monarchs & CZ Usti nad Labem Blades. No idea of the rules but looks a tough game. A lot of the time it seems stopped positioning with sudden bursts of action

Another prediction I made but for some Brexiteers their objective was to principally curtail EU migration & promised a new deal for easier Commonwealth migration eg curry house chefs when seeking votes. However Leave didnt promise large net increase in numbers we're witnessing.

Always predicted City of London would suffer which I proudly represented for 20 years. I was dismissed as scaremongering but was actually seermongering as it was obvious € trade would be repatriated to the continent by EU states like France & Germany wanting their business back!

Cui bono. Last minute defections before a GE always raise a number of questions. I'm a Dr too and left the Tory party after 36 years a member as it was clear for some time it was no longer a party I could feel comfortable in.

Well said my previous home for 20 years. I hope more national Parliaments will soon say similar things about the clear threat from Russian kleptofascism.

Concordo ela realmente merece ser reconhecida pelo Estado Português por seu papel histórico e simbólico na Revolução dos Cravos.

Rwanda may or may not deter UK asylum seekers but majority of immigration last year from the developing world came by other legal routes & often to replace EU citizens who no longer come post Brexit. Reform UK will continue to capture the anti large scale immigration voter.

HMG won't even mention the B word under its culture of omertà. We'll never heal the divisions of Brexit unless its protagonists display honesty about its consequences rather than denial or obfuscation. David Cameron is a statesman of integrity so surprised he goes along with it!

God Bless America, EU and Western democracy helping Ukraine fight against the sheer evil of Putin's Russia.

Shows how beneficial being in the €zone is for countries with histories of fiscal overborrowing.

Best global news for months. Democracy and freedom will prevail in a sovereign Ukraine. Putin's evil war machine will be defeated.
