"We Europeans cannot afford to waste our energies on internal disputes or arcane institutional debates."

Margaret Thatcher, 1988

"EEA migrants contribute much more to the health service and the provision of social care in financial resources and through work than they consume in services."

"Barnier said very clearly without the backstop there is no agreement. And my understanding is that all of the member states support this. They have supported it for more than 2 years. We must not kid ourselves that we can fudge this Irish backstop issue." bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… "It matters to communities across Ireland, it's hugely important to the Irish economy and especially the Northern Irish economy, and it's the main thing that's stopping us from getting a ttransition deal."

After March 2019 if there’s no deal.

"Surcharge-free roaming when you travel to the EU could no longer be guaranteed."

A reminder that @The3Million and @BritishInEurope are not an amorphous mass of anonymous people that can simply 'go home' or 'come back'.

Every single #OneOfThe5Million has their own story.

Their family.
Their dreams.
Their rights.
Their identity.

Their life.

As #OneOfThe3Million who has been #800daysInLimbo I fully support this letter.

Despite being profoundly affected by Brexit we did not have a say in the EU referendum.

We need legal certainty.
For ourselves and our families.
Now.

#EnoughIsEnough

@MichelBarnier @DominicRaab Many thanks to our amazing Cardiff MPs @JoStevensLabour, @SDoughtyMP and @AnnaMcMorrin for supporting this campaign. Your help is highly appreciated.

"Resurgence of deadly measles blamed on low MMR vaccination rates"

A reminder what happens when people rely on populists and fake news, dismiss expert advice and wrongly decide to 'take back control'.

Measles kills.
Vaccines work.

Evidence matters. "Anti-vaxxers are still spreading false claims as people die of measles"

It was great to welcome the #gdTcells community to this exciting conference #gd2018 in #Bordeaux, and catch up with so many friends, collaborators and researchers in the field.

1/8 I would have preferred to have more time for everyone - but with almost 300 delegates, 160 abstracts submitted, and all the smaller and larger details that required our attention there would probably never have been sufficient time!

Europe.

It's not about customs union.
Or markets.

It's about values.
Shared values.

1/ Belonging.
History.
Aims.
Challenges.
Ideas.
Cooperation.

The disregard of the British government for the wellbeing and the #citizensrights of people lawfully residing in UK and EU27 has reached breathtaking proportions.

#inLimbo:

- EU nationals in UK
- UK nationals in EU
- #Windrush generation

Plus their families and partners. Statement by Immigration Minister @carolinenokes:

"These are people who have built a life here, and who in turn have made a massive contribution to the life of this country."
