Bogdanor: The Irish Sea Border clearly doesn't work - it will have to be a land border. That would be much less onerous. Though it doesn't have to be right on the border itself.

Me: *Moves the border inland behind English ports*

Bogdanor: No, not like that.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Today we saw very clearly whose side Trump is on.

In seeking to humiliate President @ZelenskyyUa he has taken his lead from Russian dictator Putin.

We in Europe and across the democratic world must #StandWithUkraine ️

Macron to European leaders just now
"Our interest is that Russia does not win this war..If it wins, that means that on our borders is an imperial power which we are telling: you can be expansionist.. I don't see who around this table can have peace of mind if we let that happen"

I'd just taken it as a silly social media bit, but in hindsight perhaps all that performative dunking on the "europoors" around here was a sign of deeper economic insecurity. Probably not much of a sign but then why would you bother at all if things were going so well in the USA?

@nikicaga They yearn for proportional representation.

Perfectly fair for a non-European not to be aware of the EU's ordinary legislative procedure, of course.

EUites will make fun of the senate and then live in a confederation where each state has a total veto over all legislation

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my colleagues in the College, Commission services, MEPs, Member States, and my team.

Together, we have worked tirelessly to advance an ambitious EU agenda.

It has been an honour & privilege to serve the common European interest🇪🇺

Boris Johnson apparently had no clue what Brexit actually was until 25 September 2020

Imagine having to negotiate with someone whose view of reality and the text could be so divorced from the text being negotiated.

@Jabblewox @DanielJHannan @jasonomahony Well then, if the argument is that you can add up the medals for independent countries who share some leadership figures, then I guess Jason's point still stands in the case of the EU. I think it's a bit silly to do this in either case.
