Congratulations also to Virginie #FBPE, Chair of Ely for Europe, who has been elected as an Independent Parish Councillor in Ely. #LocalElections2021 European Movement UK (on BlueSky) @SECambForEurope @SNAH4PV

Despite the national electoral results that are (for now) rewarding Johnson's lies, we congratulate some local successes that are a silver lining - maybe with national lessons Ben Hatton 1/5

We are delighted to see two tireless campaigners and EU citizen residents elected: Virginie #FBPE, chair of Ely for Europe on her election as a parish councillor in Ely, and @alexandrabulat on her election for Abbey, Cambridge, to Cambs County Council Congratulations! 2/5

And today we're delighted to see M Met elected as Mayor in place of @MayorJPalmer. We're delighted that he was helped by transfers from voters who voted for Aidan Van de Weyer 🔶, showing the need for PR nationally (and why the Tories & dark money will fight it bitterly) 3/5

... it also means that a Labour administration will need to listen and compromise to remain sustainable.. and we hope that the County Council results will support this too.. 4/5

... and finally we hope that the national parties of M Met and Aidan Van de Weyer 🔶 will learn from these lessons too. The Tories certainly will. 5/5

Happy Europe Day 2021🇪🇺⭐🇪🇺⭐ #EuropeDay2021 #EuropeDay

My blood is boiling. Please retweet as much as you can. We have to stop this slide before it is too late. "They took me to prison; then I burst into tears". The "nightmare" of a young graduated Italian woman at UK border after Brexit.   repubblica.it/esteri/2021/05… via Repubblica

Amazing news!

If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen or their family member living in the UK (resident in the UK by 31 December 2020), you have less than 50 days to apply to the EU #SettlementScheme. Apply today at gov.uk/settled-status…

Tory MP Lucy Frazer admits post-Brexit trade is "more difficult than we anticipated". Thank you Kay Burley for reminding her that Brexit was sold to voters in 2019 as "oven-ready", NOT something that needed "untangling" which is the excuse used by @lucyfrazermp. #BrexitReality

PLEASE, please sign and RT. With the deadline for Settled Status applications looming, we're looking at a huge, unnecessary tragedy in the making... petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5776…

Please sign, RT share widely. Many petitions are important issues of principle. This one is more- existential for many, for decades. Let's avert another #Windrush for EU citizens who unknowingly miss June 30 deadline. Many may not realise until too late @lucyfrazermp @ab4scambs

Five years after the #Brexit referendum it's hard to feel optimistic about the UK's future, but despair is not the answer. If we work together we can build a future to be proud of & repair our relationship with the EU. Join the European Movement today! europeanmovement.co.uk/join23june

Happy #FollowBackFriday to the #FBPE community! Surely one point of this is to build a network capable to act en masse and at short notice, right? So please show kindness and support to the most vulnerable EU citizens in the UK, and sign and share this: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5776…

So we are ONE day before the deadline, the Home Office helpline is impossible to reach and even the online application stopped doing their time estimates. How on earth is the Government still pretending everything will be fine? 1 July will see thousands losing their rights.

Wayaloo @jablonow Please support the campaigns to extend or #DitchTheDeadline. For the former, please sign & RT petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5776…. For the latter, please phone your MP TODAY and follow @janestevenson68
