Some are claiming that freedom of movement with the EU would mean hundreds of millions of Europeans wanting to come to Britain.
They didn’t do that before 2016.
The scale of the claim is absurd.
And more importantly, free movement never meant anyone could simply move here indefinitely without meeting any conditions.
After three months, people who weren’t working, studying or genuinely seeking work could lose their right to reside if they also lacked sufficient resources and health insurance.
David Cameron’s government chose not to enforce those rules.
Blaming free movement for that choice doesn’t make the scare stories true.

Como are a young club. They were playing against amateurs nine years ago.
And tonight, it turns out that they still are.

So a room full of angry pensioners who want to make the lives of younger people more miserable — nice to see it confirmed.

“Brexit was a huge loss both for the British people and for the European project as a whole. If the United Kingdom were to make such a decision, Spain would welcome it with open arms and once again embrace our friends in Britain.” - President Sánchez

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
I believe Brexit was an enormous loss both for the British population and for the European project as a whole.
Therefore, if the United Kingdom were to take a decision in the direction you are suggesting, Spain would certainly applaud it and once again open its arms.

🇬🇧🇪🇺 Should the UK Rejoin the EU? ❓
A recent poll shows a majority of Britons now support rejoining the European Union. 📊
🔹 59% would vote to rejoin the EU
🔹 32% would vote to stay out
➡️ A +27% net support for EU membership
🏛️ By party:
🔹 Greens (Greens/EFA), Labour (S&D), and Lib Dem (Renew) voters show strong support for rejoining
🔹 Conservatives (ECR) and Reform voters remain strongly opposed
⚠️ Important context:
While support for rejoining is clear, polls also show Britons are against rejoining if it means giving up past opt-outs. At the same time, polls show that EU citizens oppose the UK rejoining if those opt-outs are kept, making the path back far more complex.
🤔 Should the UK rejoin the EU? 👇 And should they keep their previous Opt Outs?

Leaving the European Union has done immense damage to living standards, to businesses and to economic growth in London and across the country.
It’s great to see the Prime Minister calling out this historic mistake.
Looking forward to working with the PM to open a new chapter in EU relations.
"Brexit has done more harm than good."
Andy Burnham says he will 'lay out options' at the next reset summit to tighten the relationship between the EU and UK.

Tommy Robinson releasing a sleek, pre-emptive video is the ultimate giveaway that the upcoming Channel 4 Dispatches investigation is going to be absolutely brutal.
He knows the facts are coming, so he's desperately trying to manage the damage beforehand.
Grifters always use the exact same playbook: when a real investigative journalist holds them accountable, they immediately cry mainstream media hit piece to keep their followers blindfolded.
He isn't getting ahead of the story, he is running scared from it. Let's see if his supporters actually look at the evidence or just swallow the deflection.

Will you look at that. @ZiaYusufUK has linked up with Ryan Bridge from Raise the Colours, who is currently on bail in connection with an assault. He is also on bail in a separate matter after being arrested on suspicion of causing racially or religiously aggravated harassment, alarm or distress.

People like Zia Yusuf often say they don’t have a problem with immigrants, providing they integrate and contribute to the UK. Well here’s an asylum seeker who volunteers for local charities, served as a trustee of local schools, became a councillor in her local area and rose to lead that council, and is now seeking to become an MP for her home area - and that’s still not enough integration or contribution. It never will be because whatever she does, her real sin in the eyes of people like Yusuf is simply being from Somalia.

Mate, you’ve just been caught openly breaking electoral law.
You’re finished.
The only place you’re going is prison.
