.Rishi Sunak to deport St. George to Rwanda & let the dragon’s breath of bigotry infect every corner of this once proud archipelago.

Has Rishi Sunak brought the UK’s seat at The Council of Europe into question?

‘Defending Brexit’ to be the Tories’ election rallying cry as they make a last stand with their backs against The Red Wall?

GB News’ll struggle to do owt ‘cos all its presenters are Reform UK candidates, no?

Who’s Robbie Gibb got lined up for BBC Politics?

Really good communication, this.

IMHO, this is in tune with the real will of the people 💚

Can we just get on with the election please UK Prime Minister?

Good

Farage says he would lock young people up in the UK. Would he remove their passports?

Nick Robinson Nigel Farage Reform UK Ofcom Richard Tice 🇬🇧 Lee Anderson MP Excellent, Nick.

Not in UK Prime Minister’s gift.

Not a good look.

Simon Usherwood UK in a Changing Europe POLIS What obstacles exist for the EU in introducing measures for 18-30 year old Brits without reciprocal measures from UK?

Big problem for Keir Starmer this. The 18-30 cohort wants this. They’ve been shafted by Brexit & The Labour Party won’t last w/o them.

Election issue, IMHO. Time to get off the fence, Starmer.

Next up: The EU27 uses its new ETIAS system to give 18-30 year old Brits a 4-year single state pass.

Bilateral visa-free 'exchange reciprocity' proposed for young Europeans between the UK & individual EU member states (but not the EU as a whole).

It's a start but Freedom of Movement it isn't & the administration will be tricky & perhaps rather reliant on ETIAS.

Hot on the heels of Rishi Sunak’s 18-30 cultural exchange programme with Rwanda.

4 things:
1. Timing was clever before GE campaign starts.
2. Negotiating is coordinated at EU level & all 27 aligned.
3. EU27 can act unilaterally anyway.
4. The working at EU level with subsidiary coordination & TEU compliance is in the shop window for young Brits.
