We have successfully campaigned to stop @BorisJohnson’s government from implementing a No Deal #Brexit time and again. Now they are trying again with one last roll of the dice. This is our final hurdle, and we will stop No Deal again, but we must act now. 📅 Join us Thursday

I wish we could do the same. Sadly it is increasingly difficult to trust the current #government

I trust the British government to implement the Withdrawal Agreement, an obligation under international law & prerequisite for any future partnership. Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland is essential to protect peace and stability on the island & integrity of the single market.

This is an insane move at the start of new week of negotiations. Has the #UKGovt forgotten the international treaty it has signed? Does the #GoodFridayAgreement and #NorthernIreland peace process mean nothing to them? @euromovescot @EuroMoveNI @EuropeFife @Stirling4Europe

So much for negotiating in good faith. Who would trust signing any deal with this Government?

In the UK, #civicaction was super strong over the past years. Sadly, #European values like #democracy, #rally.s etc. are not implemented in #Belarus which is why NOW, we need your support in standing up FOR the #BelarusProtest fighting for exactly those European values we need

STOP SCROLLING! START SIGNING! Whilst student activists in Minsk were arrested for peacefully protesting in favour of democracy yesterday, it will only take you 30 seconds of your time to #SignForChange for a #FreeBelarus. Make a Difference: jef.eu/Belarus

A powerful statement from our colleagues at @tnf_webzine @JEF_Europe on how the #EU should step up and protect citizens’ rights in the final #Brexit negotiations.

It is cruel to deny #youngpeople access to the #Erasmusprogram which has given such huge intercultural benefit to so many young UK students up to now. Signing up to Erasmus is vital. Working collaboratively with European researchers is an imperative too or we will be left behind

Citizens of #Belarus are standing up for democracy, human rights and the rule of law, and as Europeans, it is time we did our best to support and empower their cause. Our petition is a chance to #SignForChange in Belarus. Play your part. 👇 JEF.EU/Belarus

#civicaction and #democratic #activism can never be wrong! #Belarus is showing how our #European values of #democracy #peace and #freedom are unstoppable!
Věra Jourová@VeraJourova23 Aug 2020
31 years ago, Baltic citizens united to make a human chain as peaceful demonstration against oppressing regime. Today, 🇪🇪 & 🇱🇻 & 🇱🇹 and others repeated the gesture in solidarity with #Belarus. #FreedomWay I support them and will always stand for free elections & people’s will.

Anyone with half a brain saw the risks of compounding Covid & Brexit back in March/April. They could have taken an extension in June... ...but they were too irresponsible & incompetent.

UK-EU trade deal 'seems unlikely.' ... That doesn't sound promising. Hurtling from one crisis to another - the only difference is that one was avoidable. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5…

So "taking back control" actually means desperately trying to replicate an EU regulation when it suits the govt agenda🤔? "Picking and choosing aspects of the current EU system" - it's just not going to fly. theguardian.com/politics/202…
