@PeterRNeumann @andreaspetzold Das ist nicht richtig. “This spring, Ohio lawmakers changed the state's deadline to make the ballot from Aug. 7 to Sept. 1 because Democrats scheduled their convention to nominate Biden for 12 days after the initial deadline.”

@HeleneBismarck It’s not just a Deutsche Bahn problem. The trade union and its leader Weselsky are at least equally to blame. The F.A.Z. editorial seems sensible.

@molynj_twtr @sjwrenlewis I think the answer to your question is “yes”: “The government pitched the changes as a way for MHRA to grant “near automatic sign-off for medicines and technologies” approved in Europe, Japan and the US.”

@RBingener @NZZ @mwehner4 Ich habe Ihr Buch gelesen - es ist ausgezeichnet. Ich stimme dem Rezensenten voll und ganz zu.

@berlin_bridge I recently finished reading "Die Moskau-Connection". A superb book - although it makes one very angry! https://t.co/cnG8QUWGL0

@LordRickettsP @BrianDury @BBCRosAtkins Perhaps worth mentioning that both Switzerland & Norway are in the Schengen area despite not being EU members. Why can't the UK (& Ireland) join the Schengen area?

@MarkDittli A long-laid plan 🤣🤣

Die Deutsche Bahn geht die Verlagerung des Flugverkehrs auf die Schiene nunmehr beherzt an #Lufthansa 👇🏽

@CWRoehl @HenningGebhardt Ist die Vanguard Germany All Cap UCITS ETF (ISIN IE00BG143G97) nicht eine gute Alternative? Vergleichsindex ist die FTSE Germany All Cap Index. Ein ziemlich kleiner ETF noch - Fondsvolumen €127,50 mio.

@curatorian I question the “wealth of managers”. No English manager has won the Premier League since its inception in 1992. Perhaps the lack of great managers and the inherent difficulty of winning a knock-out competition (talent alone not enough) are contributory factors.

@kevinhorourke TV commentary in the 70’s/80’s where England was “world leading” in everything! My first World Cup memory is 1966 and I supported England. However, jingoistic commentary in my young adult life was too much. I haven’t lived in IRL/ UK since 1986 but was more F leaning yesterday.

@BEERG @HeleneBismarck 1983 Labour Party manifesto: “We will also open immediate negotiations with our EEC partners, and introduce the necessary legislation, to prepare for Britain's withdrawal from the EEC, to be completed well within the lifetime of the Labour government.” https://t.co/9tq2WZsJFC

@MiRo_SPD @general_ben General Zorn says he doesn’t see any real Ukrainian counter-offensive up to now - despite their territorial gains of the past week. He also warns against further weapons supplies from Germany to Ukraine. Does the Bundestag Foreign Affairs committee, which you chair, agree?

@HeleneBismarck Diese SPD-Troika aus den frühen 90ern ist wirklich ein Trauerspiel!

@hemicker A comic wordplay by Peter Lawford based on her reputation for tardiness. He gave her a number of introductions, after which she did not appear on stage. When Monroe finally appeared, Lawford introduced her as the "late Marilyn Monroe" (around 0:20s)

@hemicker Meine Muttersprache ist Englisch. Für mich bedeutet "the late King" eindeutig "der verstorbene König". Ich fand Ihre Aussage amüsant und nicht anstößig.

@A_Weatherall @BestForBritain @JamesCleverly Passport stamps are needed for non-EU citizens. Good explanation provided in this article: “Brexit also necessarily means that the UK is now treated as a non-EU country under the Schengen rules – because that is the status that the UK wanted to have.”

@tom_nuttall I don’t know Tyler Cowen but I remember his arrogant, and frankly ignorant, questioning of the intellect of epidemiologists. I question your inclusion of him among the “smartest of people”. BTW - I’m not an epidemiologist! https://t.co/sLazRI0yi2

@JohnOBrennan2 I think they are Swiss. It sounds like they are singing in Swiss-German.

[Bill Collins @billcoll]

@BEERG @DavidHenigUK It also seems to be a weird list. For example, in Germany it seems LMU is the only university included. Undoubtedly a good university but the Technical Uni in Munich is ranked higher in several ranking systems: https://t.co/RwdWk0gPfX
