Welcome to the latest #WattsUp! and #Transport & #Europe News & Views! 'During the course of the next twenty-four months there are important elections, but also unprecedented changes planned in policy and regulation' @sweden2023eu uktie.eu/news/uk-transp…

@HullTweeting @FabianZuleeg You've clearly not looked recently at the evidence. Clear majority of Brits think the UK should be in EU. independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-…
