A sympathetic shield hides a massive power grab. The UK government uses online abuse of lifeboat volunteers to justify sweeping internet censorship.
Evidence: Volunteer Safety, State Censorship, Regulatory Expansion

Five years in and it is obvious that #AUKUS was a con from the start; the U.S. never had any intention of handing over any submarines, they just wanted a naval base in the Indian Ocean and a dumping ground for their nuclear waste.

State of the Union- Highlights

The two main influences on the EU at the moment seem to be Ukraine and Canada.

Australia is in the queue too. Will others follow?

Perhaps the EU will become the new Commonwealth home?
Now that Britain has taken its toys home, gone Brexit backwards.

#OnThisDay 16 September 1858 Andrew Bonar Law was born in Kingston, New Brunswick. He served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1922 to 1923 as leader of the Conservative Party. #OTD #history #ukpol #ukpolitics #scotland #england #newbrunswick #nb #politics

Unfortunate day to do it.

A small village of Reform Boomer dinosaurs airing its hate and stupidity in public, selfish, going backwards.

Or an EU going forward, for everyone, rolling out a whole stream of ideas that will improve people's lives.

I know which I prefer.

Bit more ambitious than Burnham's bus pass fiddling around the edges. No made-up red lines here. Real change.

Bulk purchase critical raw materials
Double 'green' electricity
Savings and investment union
Climate and water initiative
'Housing is a right' plan
Eradicate poverty plan

More on the UK being a possible partner in a "European Security Council"

The ESC would be a unified response to the new style of terrorist activities, non-military and hybrid security threats.

She proposed an EU version of NATO’s Article 4.
Not a new NATO, but a structural shift.

"EU rebuffs Mark Carney’s ‘unique alliance’ with Canada"
Says the FT.

Which stinks of poisonous Brexiter influence.

As VDL in her "State of the Union" address invited Canada to be the first "Associate Member".

UK mentioned as possible partner in a new "European Security Council"

I'm seriously impressed by the Reform UK party's many scandals and leadership implosions. It is almost as if they hire truly awful people on purpose 😂 #ukpol

If ever a country made a wrong turn on the pages of history, it's the UK marching away from the EU.

Those bastion countries of the Commonwealth, so beloved by Brexiter's in 2016...

First Canada seeks an alliance with the EU.
And now Australia joins in.

Where are we? Lost. Dying.

Reform Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said:
"not some sort of silver bullet."

Interesting from a Brexiter.
Considering Brexiters invented small boats.

Not like billions to France, worker shortages, gutted tourism, and *still* having a problem is something that 'worked', is it?
