While visas for musicians and youth mobility schemes are being used as negotiating tools between the UK and the EU, the reality is that musicians' livelihoods, and young people's futures, are at stake. bit.ly/4cWZxae

How about it Mr Starmer Keir Starmer? How about you and @The Labour Party release the Russia report so we can see what influence Putin's regime had in the outcome of Brexit?

#AchubOCC! WNO need to come to the table & think again. Equity will not accept another cut to world leading opera, & a world class workforce. 🗳️ 100% turnout ✅ 93% yes 🪧Strike dates to follow #SaveOurWNO

I suspect this taste of things to come. At least 500 of the 650 MPs would have voted against Brexit. The terms of debate have shifted

Great to see Brexit damage being openly talked about in parliament UK exports are still 11% lower than they were in 2019 This has been a huge hit to the economy. Only joining the EU fully will give Britain & its people the economic boost they need.

There were at least eight Brexit questions to Jonathan Reynolds and his team today. "The House of Commons is at long last acknowledging what both the majority of British people and British businesses know to be true: Brexit has been bad for the UK." Naomi Smith bestforbritain.org/house_of_commo…

As long as Starmer maintains red lines that prohibit the UK from rejoining the EU, or its single market or customs union, Brexit-related problems like this will continue.

Yet again, this is being delayed because of inflationary consequences and the likely collapse of many food businesses. I don’t know how many more delays, how many consequences, how many examples, how much more economic damage will be needed for people to see BREXIT CANNOT WORK.

📣 Excellent news that the original decision has been changed and Long Covid Kids - #LongCovidKids will now be a Core Participant in Module 8 of the #CovidInquiry. Children and Young People impacted by #LongCovid will have a powerful voice.

Another great piece by Lisa O'Carroll. #Brexit damage is enough to fill an entire encyclopaedia. I concur. UK services professionals + creatives had their livelihoods, careers flushed down the toilet by our departure from the #singleMarket. So too did Britain.

Libraries are so important! #Finland is an excellent example of libraries supporting equality in society. #Suomi #library

Still true and now The Labour Party in denial. #RejoinEU

Being part of the EU makes it easy for you to live/work/study/retire anywhere you want to in a way that’s flexible and on your own terms. Lovely film. Thanks Brexit Bin 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇩🇪🕊🇺🇦 #BrexitHasFailed

Thank you for supporting libraries in this important debate that keeps libraries in the Parliamentary spot light

Tim Coates Nick Trench Council leaders who think libraries are an elitist waste of money are themselves elitist. They don't use libraries so have no idea what they offer or how important they are to their constituents at all levels and how they save money on other services like health & social care.
