Many have endorsed TNLs as the way to make our elections more #European, from pro-#EU groups (@federalists, @EMInternational), to politicians (@EmmanuelMacron, @vonderleyen) & advocates (@jonworth, @alemannoEU, @AndrewDuffEU). They argue TNLs will bring a European dimension. 2/25
To be clear, the point of this thread is *not* to argue that TNLs will make our common election less European, simply that they will not remedy the election's core deficiency (that national parties are in control) and that, therefore, they are not the right way forward. 3/25

In other news, European Democracy Consulting just notified the Authority on European Political Parties and Political Foundations that it was in breach of its transparency requirements. Short of a remedy, we will lodge a complaint with the @EUombudsman. eudemocracy.eu

Sharing on social media isn't enough. You need to speak to the people in your life and get them to the poll station tomorrow.
Tell them: If you're bored of Brexit, Brexit HAS to stop. Otherwise it's 7-10 years of trade negotiations with the same arguments we've heard for years!

And if Brexit does stop, it'll be because people voted to stop it.
So if you don't turn out to vote in the #EuropeanElections, then a party led by Nigel Farage with NO BLEEDING MANIFESTO, who want out when the country wants in, will be our primary voice on the European stage.

"If you're interested, & I'll fund it somehow, I think you're the perfect guy, what we'd like to do is help knit together a populist nationalist movement throughout the world."

This was filmed in 2017 & is taken from the new documentary about Bannon, @TheBrinkFilm.
There's a moment in this clip when Farage looks towards the camera, clearly thinking: "I'm being filmed conspiring with a far-right extremist. If this ever gets out it won't look good."

Been holding off on posting this #Thread regarding the #LocalElection2019 going on in England and Northern Ireland, but the results are fascinating to me here in Scotland for sure. There is a clear #RemainBacklash going on and this is HUGE, shall go into more detail on why.
Clearly, the #LocalElections2019 is one of the biggest elections in history for the Lib Dems and the biggest night for the Green Party, there is been a massive shift towards these two parties over the usual Tories and Labour, but why is that? Clearly, #Brexit is a big part of why
How the Tories and Labour have handled #Brexit is nothing short of embarrassing, both these parties have refused to support a #PeoplesVote and give us a second say on leaving the EU. Yet Lib Dems and Green Party have been consistent since the get-go as remain parties.
What kind of person chooses to use specifically NON-European people fleeing war, who have no EU rights to enter the UK, as a political tool to scare people about immigration from EU countries?

As much as I criticise the failure of our media in 2016, @krishgm did an absolutely stellar job taking Nigel Farage apart on the blatant racism behind that poster in 2016.
These people... For God's sake! We let them WIN the #EuropeanElections in 2014! And they're the ones who pressured Cameron to call the referendum. Our country is being shaped in their image!

Don't be fooled: Farage is trying to pretend he's a moderate now with his new Brexit Party, and that UKIP is now too extreme for him, but he was just better at making it look respectable than Gerard Batten is.

UKIP is currently lead by a man who called Islam a death cult on #Marr and who works with Tommy Robinson.
The Brexit Party is led by a man who this video proves is racist.
If you don't turn up to the #EuropeanElections THEY will be the ones representing us on the European stage!

UKIP doesn't win General Elections, but they won the 2014 #EuropeanElections because only 34% of us bothered to turn up.
Can we maybe elect some MEPs that actually reflect true British values, rather than a bunch of 1930s tribute acts?
Can we try that?

Only 34% of us turned up to the last #EuropeanElections.
The consequence of that was that Nigel Farage became the face of the UK.
So despite us having 3 times the average number of MEPs, Mr "Destroy the EU" wasted our influence then told us we had none.
REGISTER TO VOTE TODAY!!!
