De ‘kist van Oxford’, waarop een 14de eeuwse kunstenaar de Guldensporenslag en de Brugse Metten sculpteerde, keert deze zomer voor een jaar terug naar Kortrijk. Een belangrijke gebeurtenis uit onze geschiedenis op een zichtbare, bijna voelbare manier verteld. @axelronse#UKmissie
Onze voedings- en drankenindustrie doorstond relatief goed de eerste fase na brexit, zo stelde ik vandaag vast in het VK. Ook zag ik hoe het schilderij ‘De lelijke hertogin’ van Quentin Matsys in het atelier van de ‘National Gallery’ wordt gerestaureerd. #VKmissie @FlandersTrade

Na de Brexit is een goede verstandhouding meer dan ooit nodig. Ontmoeting met Britse collega @VictoriaPrentis. Vlotte toegang voor Vlaamse agrovoedingsproducten en visserij belangrijk. #BEmissionUK

@SvenOrnelis Een referendum organiseren lijkt me niet de beste manier om met die vraag om te gaan. Zie de desastreuze verdeeldheid in het VK.
Volg misschien beter het werk ivm de conferentie over de toekomst van de EU...
