Freedom of Movement isn’t just about travel. It’s about the ability to say yes to a job, a relationship, a life somewhere else. When visas are required, you don’t lose the possibility — you lose the freedom to decide. I spoke about this at the London4Europe rally. youtu.be/JYA3gVGxlnw

Reform keeps saying that the NHS being unsustainable without a shift towards insurance-based healthcare. When they talk about insurance-based healthcare, it is not pointing us towards the European model. It is pointing us towards the American one, while pretending the two are equivalent. (1/3)

Farage, here are benefits of working from home: • Improved Work-Life Balance: Flexibility allows employees to better manage responsibilities, such as childcare & appointments • Time & Cost Savings: Eliminating daily commute saves time & reduces costs of fuel, public transport & work attire (1/3)

It isn't only producers and performers who are losing out, rather, the millions of people across the country who look to theatre, drama, and other forms of entertainment for their leisure. Articles like this just emphasise how widespread the impact of Brexit is, and we must fix it.
Brexit has left performers in a cultural cul-de-sac. Leaders at Spotlight and Equity flagged the damage that Brexit is doing to touring theatre in Europe, warning that producers and performers are losing out as a result. The Stage, 5 February.

London is one of the safest places in the UK, but the Media's constant racist narrative and knife crime hoax has convinced everyone else in the UK it isn't. Just as it has brainwashed everyone into thinking immigration is a problem.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.
