bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e3… Excellent. Freedom of movement makes so much sense - good for jobs, for investment, for trade and opportunities for students young people and mean more sustainable migration

Burnham open to 'honest discussion' on EU free movement

The PM says he wants a "factual" and "evidence-based debate" about returning to free movement between Britain and Europe.

Good morning, John @JohnTizard & thank you, as always. The #clocksgoback always seem to cause chaos in our household! With #StormBoelo in the news today, here's one which might be appropriate: "Storm, Lyme Regis" by John Cooper from 1934. #JohnCooper #LymeRegis #EastLondonGroup

EU Freedom of Movement is NOT an unconditional right under EU law: it is conditional on finding a job or being self-sufficient i.e. not being a burden on taxpayers. Otherwise they have no right to stay. #BBCLauraK

Good morning, Lin @lou_chatfield & thank you, very belatedly on my part, I'm afraid. With #StormBoelo in the news, here's one which might be appropriate today! This is "Winday Day on Marine Parade, Southend" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. It is in the collection @BeecroftGallery

Ex Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan ripped apart Margaret Thatcher's privatisation while she was doing it at a Tory Party conference, "Selling off the family silver" she's is just selling off the nations assets because she has run out of money.

UK crime was four times higher when Oasis first played Knebworth than at last year’s reunion gigs. The collapse of crime and safer streets is one of the biggest stories of our time. But one almost never told - or believed. My take on today’s figures: comment.press/lawless
