In which I look at Blair's recent comments on (not) rejoining the EU. He has history. The new Labour prime minister should not follow Blair. @Remain_Labour@UKLabour@euromove https://t.co/SGYMtnwijw

Happy pride month to the late Roy Jenkins (L). You can thank him for homosexuality being legal, and historians believe he was himself bisexual - having a close romantic relationship with friend and Labour rival Tony Crosland (R) when they were young.

Will be huge political win for EU when UK finally applies to rejoin. So it will surely agree to open negotiations. But from a position of strength. UK government of time will need humility, good negotiators, honesty with electorate and courage to resist Brexit throwback media.
Sad for Etienne Davignon passing away. His proximity with Jacques Delors and his pro European 🇪🇺 tireless commitment are among the main pillars of his great personality. We will all miss his enthusiastic engagement. @DelorsInstitute@DelorsBerlin@DelorsEurope
La Belgique perd un très grand homme d’Etat. Le Roi perd un ami très cher.
België verliest een heel groot staatsman. De Koning verliest een heel dierbare vriend.
Le @SpinelliGroup élit Raquel García Hermida-Van der Walle à sa présidence. Merci à @gabischoff pour son engagement européen. À 40 ans de la disparition d’Altiero Spinelli, nous donnerons un nouvel élan au combat fédéraliste et réformateur dont l’Europe a besoin 🇪🇺

@AndrewDuffEU The idea of a “special relationship” for the UK with the EU is an infantile disorder that will soon pass. The British political class can only proclaim a little of European reality at any one time.
