Freedom of speech is the foundation of our strong and vibrant European democracy. We are proud of it. We will protect it. Because the @EU_Commission is the guardian of our values.

We strongly condemn the U.S. decision to impose travel restrictions on five European individuals, including former Commissioner Thierry Breton. Link to full statement: link.europa.eu/NtMX4K

France condemns the visa restriction measures taken by the United States against Thierry Breton and four other European figures. These measures amount to intimidation and coercion aimed at undermining European digital sovereignty.…


The scary world of the US administration. They have taken the view that we cannot regulate services in our country and we cannot defend ourselves from various information attacks. There maybe debates on the boundary, but the view seems to be it’s not a matter of any boundary.

Today, the United States issued SANCTIONS reinforcing the "red line" I invoked on @GBNEWS. Namely: extraterritorial censorship of Americans. Today's sanctions target the censorship-NGO ecosystem.🧵

I spoke to radio 4 Today this morning about the fact that I am taking legal action against the University of Bristol for failing to uphold my rights as a visiting speaker 🧵

“I’m not some kind of provocateur.” Professor Alice Sullivan says the University of Bristol failed to protect her freedom of speech after a talk she gave was disrupted by a trans rights protest. The university says the talk went ahead safely in line with its ‘strong commitment…

Why are so many people obsessing about the EHRC’s guidance as if it can somehow disregard the law? Begging intelligent politicians like @darrenpjones and others to watch this concise explanation from @michaelpforan May also be of interest to @IsntWorkingPod @SimonFanshawe

Remember how they said that #Brexit would save #Fishing? And #Farage was the loudest of those liars? And we said it would hammer EU export markets? Fishing operators out of Hastings: In 2016, 60. In 2025, 16. We will never get that back.

Fishing operators out of Hastings:

When terrible things happen it can be easy to believe the world is terrible; it's important to remember that there is far more good than evil. While there are a small number of people who commit horrific acts, there are many more people who will save others from them. 43 year…

There are lies, damn lies and statistics… there’s also just wrong captioning a graph. Not growth, proportion of the global economy. FFS/FGS it’s written on the f’ing chart. This indicates longer term radical progress.

EU growth since 1990 - but we should definitely go back in 🤪

An image of not just a divided continent but a divided country. What kind of ancient thinking is this, that the country is seen as a means for the leader’s grandeur.

We keep being told to prepare for war…would you fight for Keir Starmer’s Britain?

Superb interview @KishwerFalkner. "Their anger should be directed at those snake-oil salesmen who sold them the fiction they had rights that have been taken away, and not ever explained that rights are balanced." Cruelly they lied to children too. thetimes.com/article/2e926a…
