@EdwardJDavey Yes but LibDems not offering voters a chance to vote for a clear path back to the EU (via referendum). To much 'round the edges' debate .

Good to see Sadiq Khan joining Wes Streeting and David Lammy in finally catching up with the Lib Dems on the need for a UK–EU customs union. We have led the way, won the vote in Parliament and will now fight to make sure Downing Street wakes up to the damage done by Brexit too.

@danbardell ..and dougie finding his rhythm nicely too

Buendia assist, Watkins goal…. as we all predicted. #AVFC

@danbardell Hmm - stick with your principals Dan, horses / animals shouldn't be used for entertainment.

@UKLabour Pivot to pro-European party clear

People are rightly impatient to see the change they voted for. It’s our job to make sure that happens. And we’re working day in, day out to see it through.

@LibDems It shows what a party can achieve if it backs its principals with a clear pathway to return to Europe - maybe try it !!

The Gorton and Denton by-election shows people are bitterly disappointed with Labour but horrified by the rise of Reform. In many parts of the country, it's the Liberal Democrats who can stop Reform.

@EdwardJDavey And until the LibDems give us a clear pathway to rejoin the EU in full , most of us don't have a credible party to represent us.

By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe. Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather

@vonderleyen @Keir_Starmer Most of us in the UK want to rejoin (or at least have a more informed vote on the matter)

Good meeting with @Keir_Starmer in Munich. Europe and the UK share similar challenges - from intense geoconomic rivalries to threats to our security. it is natural that we work closer to protect our people and common interests. We had a successful summit last year - let's keep the momentum and deliver at the next one.

@Keir_Starmer @vonderleyen We need to return to the EU, not dance around the edges . New referendum on the table pls!

We are not the Britain of the Brexit years anymore. We must look outwards, and work with our European neighbours to keep our country safe. There is no British security without Europe, and no European security without Britain.

@AVFCOfficial Sentimentality aside (and we have loads with Dougie) , this is a brilliant loan deal - well done and fingers crossed crossed this becomes permanent.

We can't wait to see you, Dougie 😁

@danbardell Think it's all upside and indeed a shrewd covering loan deal . If we have a buy option as reported, Emery will restore him to his best and we have a formidable midfield for the long term.

Agree with me on Luiz? Pros and cons, but he knows the Emery way and the Emery way takes time we don’t have. Needs to get fully fit but it does tug at the heart strings. #AVFC

@Keir_Starmer Clearly back to the EU asap then

As Prime Minister, I will always act in the United Kingdom’s national interest.

@LibDems Be braver and bolder - we need a pathway to rejoin and a party that is strong enough to lead this

Europe is crying out for closer relations with Britain. A customs union would boost growth, restore confidence in bond markets, and save billions in debt costs.

@Keir_Starmer We need to get back to the EU to revitalise our economy. We don't need signals and subtle shifts , we need a party / government that gives us the clear pathway back.

I know people are frustrated about the pace of change. I am too. Getting our country back on track will take time, but despite the chaos we inherited, we're making progress. Wages are rising faster than prices. Waiting lists are down. Inflation and interest rates are falling. This year, Britain will turn the corner, and you will start to feel the change we promised – in your bills, in your community and in your public services.

@greggevans40 Seems a basic Gregg - managing a squad and an injury surely .

That’s how to react to being dropped #AVFC

@VillaViews_ Quietly becoming one of our best signings £ for £

Have to give massive credit to Lindelof in Torres' absence. #avfc

@EdwardJDavey And then hopefully you can firm up a referendum for a full return to the EU in the LD manifesto

Great! Now do a Customs Union!

@danbardell Congratulations

Christmas 2025 🎄

@danbardell Yep , had to turn it off

Unable to bring myself to watch and pre or post match tonight…. #AVFC

@BorisJohnson Yep - look into my eyes , Brexit will be a force for good - honest

Traitors brilliantly exposes the human flaw that makes us blind to villainy, even when it's staring us in the face. Every politician should heed the warning mol.im/a/15246725

@davesumnersmith 100% - so many people edged towards LibDem with. More positive EU outlook.

Should Labour commit to an EU referendum in its 2029 Election Manifesto?
