📢 Announcing the results of the 2020 #EUMediaPoll! The @FT takes the top spot, while @POLITICOEurope is most often considered ‘very influential’. @TheEconomist @BBCNews & @Reuters also highly rated.

More insights below ⬇️

That's how we usually do meetings!

Our #BeActive team doing what they do best.

The @EU handle, previously unrelated to #EU institutions, has recently been suspended.

The European Union could now claim the handle to promote the EU's values in cultural, political and social issues.

Who do you think should take up the @EU account? #BCWeeklyPoll

Word of the Day: Kakistocracy. A system of government run by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous citizens. Now we've all learnt something, please can it stop. 😳😤😱🤬🤯

[Andy Ing @andyingandy]

So Theresa, are you "pleased" to hand over to Boris?
"He is a man I worked with when he was in my cabinet, who is a Conservative..."
Spectacular glowing reference then??! 🤣 #PMQs

[Andy Ing @andyingandy]

@DennisAbbott 66% makes the winning margin sound substantial but his number of votes of 92,153 is seriously low compared to previous party leadership winners voted on by members:
Cameron beat Davis in 2005, 134,446 votes to 64,398.
Duncan Smith beat Clarke in 2001, 155,933 votes to 100,864.

[Mared Gwyn @MaredGwyn]

@GeraintThomas86 I work with the @EU_Commission to get Europeans to #BeActive. We want inspirational athletes to support our cause. Can you meet this Welsh superfan of yours this week in Brussels for a photo & 2-minute chat? Could inspire people to change their lives DIOLCH! 💛

@ISayPorter I feel that "odd" is quite a generous and restrained description for most of them...

[Andy Ing @andyingandy]

@DanielJHannan @rbrharrison Clearly there's only one Dumbo round here... 🙄

[paul bassett davies @thewritertype]

John Bercow has thrown a spanner into the works of a machine now composed entirely of spanners.

@LeoCendro Meanwhile Theresa writes to her penpal, Jean-Claude...

Because voting, say 2 or 3 times, until you get the answer you want isn't undemocratic??! #IronyIsDead 🤣 BBC News - Brexit: PM to bring third Brexit deal vote to Commons https://t.co/3NeH3bVO4A

Arriving in the UK on Eurotunnel: "Don't forget to put your watches forward one hour and drive on the right" Thanks @Eurotunnel... er.. hang on, what??! 😳😱🤣

[Andy Ing @andyingandy]

@DanielJHannan So today in re-writing history the Brexiteer way, we're going to make some fatuous and irrelevant comparison with the First World War, insinuating that that too was a battle between Britain and Europe. 🙄

[Andy Ing @andyingandy]

This is a good point - why isn't the Commission more diverse?
