Proud British - no to independent notions.
Green don't cut the ice - laudable as they are, they remain mostly with their heads in the clouds!
If you have a cat or cartoon/animation as an avatar - it's unlikely you'll be taken seriously!

Europe needs its own playbook to counter hybrid attacks.

An Emergency Security Protocol.

When triggered by one Member State, all Member States would coordinate a European response.

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.

I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU.

And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

Good plan, Australia and Canada.
Huge sigh, UK.

How long do we wait, how much do we lose, how stupid do we have to be?
Australia and Canada are leading the way - they are choosing closer ties with the EU.

The EU is our closest partner.

The UK government should put EU membership on the table. It's really a no-brainer.

Complaints to watchdog about England water firms jump 84%, up from 8,235 to 15,115.

Complaints about bills, affordability, services.

Millions suffer in silence but don't formally complain.

Sewage dumped, leaks everywhere, customers fleeced, shareholders and execs rewarded.

Many complaints were about affordability, after customers saw steep hikes to bills.

Piddington lies in the South East Region of the UK, which voted for the UK to leave the EU. So, the 'Piddingters' have voted to become an independent State. OK, I'm in favour of self determination. The UK should build a fence around the village & require a visa, before anyone enters the UK.

Why has the Green Party no credible defence policy!

In a skewed interview, Zack Polanski & Anna Stavrianakis, concluded that there was hysteria in Britain over Russian threats.

So unbelievably naive! The Greens won't keep the UK safe.
