Journalist. Former @WSJ Bureau Chief at Large, 2021-23 U.K. and Brexit Editor 2017-21 Brussels Bureau Chief 2009-17. @FT for 22 years and @Reuters for nine.
Great reporting by @mjluxmoore on the story of a middle-class Russian from St. Petersburg who enlisted in the military, was sent into the meat grinder in Voshank, and was ultimately wounded and captured by Ukrainian forces. https://t.co/MLk88zJ5Nh
After the Farage shock, nothing explains better why people are turning to populist options than this excellent document from @s8mb@SCP_Hughes and @bswud about why the UK cannot build anything- nor get anything done. I wish policymakers would act on it.

@TonyBarber8 I recall introducing you to the No Name Bar, on the corner of Hudson & Jane streets. Highly salubrious. I also remember being surprised when you composed verse on the green screens amid the chaos at 1700 Broadway. But I never heard of Hudson’s Funeral Feast. I think I should.
Tony, you’re retiring. (You buried the lead. ) A lot of water under the bridge since you walked into the Reuters newsroom at 1700 Broadway 44 years ago as a trainee. Quite a career. All the best in retirement.
So sad to hear this. Gwen was my first editor on the FT opinion desk, helped me settle in and gave me the best piece of advice I got there. “You’re meant to have an opinion”. The point being that I was writing analysis and not sticking my neck out. That was typical Gwen - blunt, frank but also helpful and friendly
The Trump administration has many peculiar national security ideas. Among the many bad ones, this is one of the worst. @TheAtlantic https://t.co/iObEwweCvR

Great review for my former colleague @jwmjournalist’s biography of pre-moneyball baseball manager, Earl Weaver. Congratulations, John. https://t.co/gCjhAcLIK3 via @NYTimes
The WSJ editorial board: “Donald Trump’s seeming desperation for a deal with Vladimir Putin is a risk to Ukraine, Europe, U.S. interests—and his own Presidency.” https://t.co/COGkhdysAY
Today a brave woman is laid to rest in Brussels. Andrée Dédé Dumon, codenamed NADINE, passed away recently aged 102. As a 17 year old, NADINE joined the Belgian resistance group known as the Cométe (or Comet Line). 1/2
Chef Pierre, thank you for being a great boss, colleague, mentor and friend. From the Brussels days to New York (and a cameo in Mumbai), we had a ton a fun. I will miss you. @washingtonpost, you’re lucky to have @SpiegelPeter - ciao chef
