hi i make a living being a right wing commentator and unfortunately that means being controversial which currently entails performatively pretending I don’t know about the brexit transition agreement and making jokes like “lol, no food shortages or riots yet”

Spoke to the New York Times about (you’ve guessed it) Brexit & what happens next ⤵️

For our Future's Sake #Brexit

nytimes.com/2020/01/31/wor…

We tried.

Did our best init

However, when I (finally) turned 14 in 2018, I joined the Labour Party as soon as I could, later getting involved in wonderful campaigns like For our Future's Sake and Somerset ❤️s Europe #FBPE 🍏❤🇪🇺. Through my party and those campaigns, I met people for the first time ever who I felt accepted...

Pro-EU activism over the last few years has given me so many opportunities, privileges, and experiences I’ll never forget. Not to mention so many life long friends. I owe so much to this movement🇪🇺

Suffice to say, today is a sad day, for lots of people in the UK.

We don’t know what will happen next. We have grave and legitimate concerns.

But we give thanks for two amazing years and know that young people - inside or out of the EU - will lead the way.

Some highlights from the report:

3/4 of all our events were outside of London.

Around 60% of all our media appearances were women and non-binary people.

1/2 speakers at major events were people of colour.

Last night, we held a Thank You Party to show our gratitude to our supporters, activists, colleagues and friends - for what was a brilliant two years.

We also launched our report ‘FFS, What a Campaign’, which you can find at FFSakes.uk/impact

This is a really good idea - Mayor of London is hosting free advice for EU citizens tonight at City Hall between 5pm - 8pm.

RT to spread the word.

At the For our Future's Sake wrap up party... I honestly couldn’t be happier. Big props to anyone who helps young people get into politics including Richard Brooks Jason Arthur and Amanda Chetwynd-Cowieson who deserve the world ❤️❤️❤️ #milbank43

In the week we'll be leaving the EU, it's lifted my spirits to welcome these young Brits to the European Parliament. They understand the value of our EU membership and care about the UK's other challenges. The present may sometimes look bleak, but there is hope for the future. 🌷

Great to see Jamie Dickinson & meet the For our Future's Sake team in Brussels today

'As a socialist and avid trade unionist, I felt compelled to campaign for a second referendum on Brexit. I don’t regret it. Far from it: I’m proud of the work I did with For our Future's Sake.'

This is excellent from former For our Future's Sake activist, Jamie Dickinson - clear eyed and direct about challenges the Labour Party needs to face head on, to ever win again.

FFS is a proudly cross-party campaign and won't be endorsing any candidates in the #LabourLeadership race - but we encourage any young Labour supporters to join the party before 5pm today to make sure their voices are heard 👇
