Next time you stay in an Irish hotel, think of this as you walk past the women with the cleaning carts. Thanks @A_Rychlikova who kindly let us use a clip from her film Limits of Europe to illustrate the series https://t.co/thTWMl07qH

«France can argue later– now everyone who cares about our democracy must unite to keep the far right out. (…) Time is running out, and only putting aside petty party squabbles will stop the disaster of the National Rally taking power» my @guardian pièce https://t.co/JkpI5pJXn2

Tommie Gorman found humanity in everyone and once told Martin McGuinness ‘that generosity was the greatest weapon’. A beautiful tribute from his son Joe lifted the sadness as we said farewell to Tommie today in the stunning Sligo countryside he loved https://t.co/dBz8XlKc6l

Big thanks to @annettedittert @mariaramirezNY @antoguerrera @JakubKrupa @tessaszy our Euro panellists on the UK election. Brexit amnesia, surreal Farage revival and overwhelming fatalism. No wonder they feel pity for British voters https://t.co/aFPGPBAA1g
