Kay: Your Foreign Secretary called Donald Trump a "neo-Nazi sociopath"...

Govt Minister @patmcfaddenmp : You should hear what his running mate called him...

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

I welcome the historic agreement on the Pact on Migration and Asylum

Congratulations to the European Parliament and Council for agreeing on this landmark proposal of this mandate.

I thank @MargSchinas and @YlvaJohansson for their tireless efforts ↓

Need your collective wisdom: how can we tell the 13th floor asking for second-by-second updates on “citizens’ engagement with #SOTEU” that no one gives a rat’s arse?

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

@meme_ec It’s painful how true this is.

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

@MargSchinas @EU_Commission Diversify supply chains, focus on what Europe does best (services, high tech/high end manufacturing), strengthen regulatory environment to ensure imports meet similar sustainability standards. Not subsidies, US and China can outspend us twice over.

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

@MargSchinas @EU_Commission Shame, it should be. Playing subsidy wars with the US and China is a fool’s errand.

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

I hope we get to vote in their presidential elections in return.

Just when you’re thinking, gosh they do pageantry well, they field this trio and it all comes flooding back. #omnishambles

@alanbeattie @moylato Commission analysis EP resolution

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

@DmitryOpines I usually support whoever is likely to gloat less if they win. They’d both be insufferable.

I’m going to watch @Aiannucci ‘s In the Thick of It tonight, I’m feeling nostalgic for the days of sensible politics.

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

Wait, this isn’t a parody account?

[Sir Michael Take CBE @MichaelTakeMP]

I like my politicians to be intelligent & BRAVE:
Winston Churchill
Gavin Williamson
Margaret Thatcher
Nadine Dorries
Add to that list Liz Truss
She has sacked Kwasi Kwarteng because she is a LEADER.
I am so proud of my Prime Minister🇬🇧
Kwasi could not grow the pie🥧
He had to go!

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

For all of you snarking about the Commission’s tweets.

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

Just as well there were enough chairs.

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

Being here together today gives us the occasion to highlight strong women, coming from different origins and regions. And each one of them, in their role as political leaders, first ladies, survivors or activists, is giving us lessons of courage and dignity.

@meme_ec That’s no way to talk about Charles Michel. Tsk.

@mseltzermayr @Berlaymonster @vestager No need for a knitwear bank, half the College is on it.

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

@Berlaymonster At the very least, a coronation of UvdL as Our Gracious Strategically Autonomous Lady, of Cohesion Funds, the RRF, RePowerEU and other acronyms, Head of the Commission and Defender of the Treaties (sometimes).

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

@tobyvogel Yes, I was being facetious. Although probably being ordered to do the redaction NOW didn’t help.

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

@tobyvogel It has to follow orders from politicians.

[Brussels in a Funk @Brusselsinafunk]

It’s so heart-warming listening to Fox News agonising over whether the Senate will have enough time to push through Biden’s agenda #impeachment
