Peter Palmer @blacksearoamer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The arguments for Britain rejoining the EU have only strengthened. Not only because of the economic damage. In this polarised world, with international rules and norms no longer respected, an isolated Britain is weak & vulnerable. We need a strong, united Europe, with Britain at its heart. 050

Peter Palmer @blacksearoamer.bsky.social · 23/03/2025There comes a point when Starmer needs to recognise that attempting to be a bridge between America and Europe isn't working.
