When words fall short, symbols speak. Like the motifs Ukrainians paint on Pysanky, their traditional Easter eggs – symbols of resilience and hope, unbroken by Russian aggression. The EU supports Ukraine in the war and along its European path. For a prosperous, peaceful future.

This trip has changed me. It has brought home the enormity of what the people of Ukraine are trying to achieve, but also how this is all happening on our doorstep. We are just 3 tanks of diesel and one set of road tolls away from a conflict that will define our century.

It would be unforgivable if the Government goes ahead with cutting taxes for US tech barons to appease Musk and Trump, all while slashing support for disabled people and front-line public services to the bone.
iOS style notification reading - Don't cut the Digital Services Tax! - Scrapping the tech tax would blow a £5 billion hole in the public finances - meaning more tax hikes on ordinary families and businesses or more cuts to public services to pay for it.

The Government cannot go ahead with cutting taxes for tech billionaires like Elon Musk while slashing support for disabled people and carers. This is simply about fairness.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

The campaign for a fair voting system is gaining momentum - also in Westminster. We've now got the most pro-PR Parliament in history. This Thursday, MPs will debate voting reform. Contact your MP today and ask them to be there. Let's make it huge! 💪 actionnetwork.org/letters/pr…
Quote by our CEO Emma Harrison: First Past the Post has become a liability in the process of trying to restore trust in politics. It is unsustainable and dangerous to maintain an electoral system that frustrates more people than it enfranchises. It is vital that we fix this broken institution and place equal votes at the centre of our politics. Our activists are working to make the case up and down the country. It's time for a National Commission for Electoral Reform.

“Our politics could be transformed for good by introducing a fair voting system that gives MPs in safe seats nowhere to hide.” Tactical voting can see off the Tories – that’s the message behind my paddleboarding and bungee jumping ⁦@EdwardJDavey⁩ theguardian.com/commentisfre…
