@lewis_crofts what's quite fascinating about this report, across its different sections, is who wrote it in the 1st place: a team of Commission officials from various backgrounds who got a free pass to criticise established EU policy in a way that would otherwise never have been possible

@DaveKeating Except when you live in Brussels… 😬

Patriotes de pacotille vendus à une tyrannie étrangère hostile à nos intérêts et nos principes.

Dans quelques jours, la cinquième colonne de Poutine peut prendre le pouvoir en France en pleine guerre en Ukraine.

L’Histoire nous regarde et nous juge.

Revoir le colonel @Michel_Goya alerter à juste titre sur les risques qui pèsent sur le soutien français à l'Ukraine en cas d'accession du RN à Matignon.

[Benoît Roussel @RousselBenoit]

La FR s'apprête à donner le pouvoir à ce parti. Faut-il se rassurer de les voir s'insérer dans le "système" européen, en économie comme en diplomatie? Ou s'inquiéter de l'intox et du risque sécuritaire d'un parti qui n'a jamais renié ses origines et reste un agent de la Russie?

Hallucinant.
À quel moment Jordan Bardella ment-il? Maintenant ou avant?
L’Ukraine, la sécurité de l’Europe, la retraite à 60, euh, 62 ans, suppression de la TVA sur certains produits…
Changement de programme sur tout!!!
Pour qui/quoi les électeurs RN votent-ils? Le savent-ils?

[Benoît Roussel @RousselBenoit]

@CBeaune Bravo!

[Benoît Roussel @RousselBenoit]

excellent thread on what's at stake in France's upcoming snap election for the EU. In essence, it's like the Brexit vote, but much worse bec of FR's central role in driving the project, bec RN would not leave but undermine from within, and bc RN is a Putin stooge

[Mujtaba Rahman @Mij_Europe]

The enormity of the gamble @EmmanuelMacron has taken has not been lost on the most senior of EU officials in Bxl & EU capitals. Many are furious. It risks not only the stability of France & the EU, but also the bloc's ambitions on security & defence and longer term - Ukraine 1/

@Berlaymonster @DuncanLumsden Long live Albert #askBertie Kunardocz. And thank you!

[Gérard Araud @GerardAraud]

Fundamentally, Putin is a thug, a low level intelligence officer who got by chance the power. He is behaving as such, killing opponents, using brutal force and blatantly lying.

Excellent @FT Big Read on the future of Europe’s single market and why Mario Draghi and @EnricoLetta ‘s incoming reports are so important.
Those who think that Europe’s competitiveness can be salvaged through state aid are wrong on multiple levels:

@jrhopkin Maybe because he’s talking about Germany? 🤡

Der Terrorangriff der Hamas auf #Israel ist jetzt bald vier Wochen her. Vieles ist seitdem passiert, die öffentliche Debatte aufgeheizt und verworren. Im Video deshalb einige Gedanken von Vizekanzler und Minister Robert #Habeck zur Einordnung und Differenzierung.

[Michael Gilead @Michael_Gilead]

I've always wanted an immediate ceasefire in every round of fighting between Israelis and Palestinians in the last 20 years. However, like almost the entirety of the Israeli left, we think that a ceasefire is not an option. If you are interested, here's why:

Russia says Yevgeny Prigozhin was on a plane that crashed on a flight from Moscow to St Petersburg. All passengers and e crew, are dead.

Wagner-linked channels say Russian air defense *shot down the plane* – the same private jet Prigozhin regularly uses.
