CAN WE HAVE OUR BALL BACK PLEASE?

Today Alice made her debut at The Oval! We met @kaybee64.bsky.social , did the rooftop gardens, Dad got conned in the shop, we hit some balls on the outfield and visited the museum and sat in the pavilion.

We don't just need a "better trade deal with the EU". We need to urgently rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union as a first step towards rejoining the full EU. Brexit was a historical mistake that needs to be rectified. It is now an existential threat to our economy and security.
