Remember: before Brexit we had the legal right as EU citizens to go, live & work there. Now we - in common with all citizens of non-EU or non-Schengen member states - face tight checks just to visit for up to 90 days in every 180. Brexit was incredibly stupid, wasn't it?

This IHT policy is an idiotic act of political self harm… a free hit for the populist right
At today's press conference, @beverleyturner asked President Trump how important farmers were to him amid the backdrop of the UK changes to inheritance taxes. Thank you for backing your farmers, Mr President. We need our government to do the same and #StopTheFamilyFarmTax.

We estimated that 378 pubs – more than one a day - will close this year across England, Wales, and Scotland, which would amount to more than 5,600 direct job losses. @Will_LJ spoke to the @BBCr4today about how to change this sad state of affairs. We’re calling on Government

WHY ARE SO MANY COUNCILS SO TOTALLY USELESS??? There are thousands of filthy and overgrown signs like this all over Britain. They contribute to our country looking like a run-down dump. If you want to see a sign it’s a case of DIY. Third World here we come.
