Migration works both ways, talent comes to us, Britons go abroad to study/work. Experience/skills exchange boosts our economy/culture.
Mobility frameworks in #singleMarket are vital for this.

Today, the Pink Protest gathered outside Downing Street, claiming immigrants are a threat to women.

We talked to counter-protesters from Stand Up to Racism, they told us:
“We are terrified that women’s safety is being used to justify hatred.”

@liamthorp.bsky.social that's a great article. #Farage's obsession with immigration, which we could always control, even as EU members, has caused so many losses - careers, livelihoods. family unity. Here's another example northeastbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

"This indulgence is reckless

If Labour or the Conservatives gave oxygen to such conspiracies, the media would be merciless. When Farage and friends do it, it is filed under “colour” – part of the spectacle."

The Farage ‘mirage’: how the media is warping our politics

It is time that the media fulfils its role to critically examine politician’s statements and call them out when they stray from the truth

More ridiculous claims by #Farage. This is the man who dismisses #NetZero as a waste of time, who would gladly damage the earth to please donors from fossil fuel companies. He cares nothing about the environment.
