I still want my EU citizenship back...
I still want complete freedom of movement back too with the right for younger generations to live and work wherever they so wish, and we want it quickly!

Billionaire brothers who backed Tories give Reform £100k
Oliver Wright

Extracts

Britain's
second-richest family have
begun giving money to Reform UK after years of supporting the Conservatives.
A company linked to the property tycoons David and Simon Reuben donated £100,000 to Nigel Farage's party the first time the brothers have given to any party other than the Tories.
Reform has also received £3 million from Christopher Harborne, 63, an entrepreneur who now lives in Thai-land, adding to the ty million he gave in August. At the time, that was the biggest single donation to a UK political party by a living donor.
In the last quarter of last year, Reform received more than £5.4 million in do-nations, the Conservatives were given £2.4 million and Labour received
£1.9 million.
The Reuben brothers - David, 87, and Simon, 84, who own property including Millbank Tower and Admiralty Arch in London — have donated almost El million to the Conservative Party since 2008. They also supported Boris Johnson after he left No 10, giving him office space worth £85,000. Their family wealth was put at £26.87 billion in The Sunday Times Rich List last year.
Reform UK has its headquarters in Millbank Tower, but it is not known whether the brothers donation linked to reduced rent payments.

Other Reform donors include David
John Grainger, the co-founder of a biotech firm, and Gary Dutton, a double glazing entrepreneur, who both gave the party £250,000.
Reform also received £100,000 from Isabel Goldsmith, sister of the former Tory minister Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park. Her father, Sir James Gold-smith, was seen as the godfather of British Euroscepticism.
For the second quarter in a row Lord Bamford, the chairman of JCB, gave £200,000 each to the Conservatives and Reform. At the time of his first do-nation, the company said he was "sup-portive of pro-business political parties that create the conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper".

More billionaire cash bankrolling Reform.
JCB’s chairman, Bamford, said he was “supportive of pro-business political parties that create conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper."

Reform wants to repeal the Equality Act.
Prosperity for them means loss of rights and pay for us.

So the government messaging needs to be consistently about

“easy, frictionless border crossings for those entitled to stay”.

EU membership delivers that.

5 political parties separated by only 9 percentage points. An election under FPTP would be a complete lottery. It’s time to upgrade our democracy, the current electoral system is not fit for purpose. #PR

Ten years after the Brexit referendum, UK-EU relations are entering a new phase.

Not reversal.
Not confrontation.

Gradual recombination — sector by sector, agreement by agreement.

The political story says separation.
The policy story increasingly says cooperation.

Are we safe from enemies here at home? Is a hostile foreign government encouraging British citizens to act illegally against our national interest?

Excellent but horrifying article from EA Bylines about the Trump régime's active attempts to undermine European states, including the UK.
