@shaneheneghan @EuropeElects I think the groups are so hungry for MEPs after the elections that that can override even vetoes. But I don't get how an 11 year old party hasn't gotten around to joining a Europarty yet - surely Labour can't still be vetoing that at PES level at this stage

[Ed Davitt @davitter]

@BrightCircuit @EuropeElects Yes that feels more and more true lately. I don't really understand how the Soc Dems have not sorted out joining a European Level party at this stage. Maybe it is not agreed internally yet.

[Ed Davitt @davitter]

@Liam15789932 @hlinehan It does actually.

Busy weekend at the @europeangreens #Lisbon Congress. Three Irish candidates for EU positions, five resolutions and green leaders and members from across the continent sharing ideas.

[Ed Davitt @davitter]

@Saul_Sadka No, the decision is to be made tomorrow and there is mounting opposition to the move.

[Ed Davitt @davitter]

@HenMazzig The decision is set to be made on Monday, it hasn’t happened yet and might not still.

[Ed Davitt @davitter]

@simon_schama That post is inaccurate- no decision has been taken on the matter and opposition to such a move is rising

[Ed Davitt @davitter]

@RabbiPoupko No such decision has been made, it’s been referred to a council meeting for a vote. Many are opposed to this move

[Michael Pidgeon @Pidge]

This is an absolute disaster. Taking away money from ready-to-go public transport projects so that they can chuck more cash at new roads.

The exact opposite direction we should be going.

(Plus: the more you delay projects, the more they cost. Every time.)

The EU's Housing Advisory Board has released it's report on how to get more #Housing across Europe

[Ciarán Cuffe @CiaranCuffe]

EU Housing Advisory Board’s report dropped today. Some solid proposals:
🏘️ Promote Cost Rental model
💶 'Site Value' Taxes
📖 Amend State aid rules
🌵 Limit speculation
🏡 Better, not less planning

Now, let’s act

Historical image BELOW! The political parties that have built and governed Europe since its inception are being sidelined in the EU Parliament today. They bear responsibility for their own demise.

Today's vote on the Omnibus Simplification Directive not only dismantles the Green Deal but also redefines the political majority governing Europe from now until 2029.

As of tomorrow, von der Leyen's political majority will be the right and far-right only, with devastating repercussions for the EU's economy, society, and democratic foundations - while giving Trump's administration a free hand in Brussels.

It's a short-sighted, self-defeating move for the EU EUCO injecting the same unpredictability that the Simplification agenda was meant to avoid!

@Ireland_Votes Is it the case that if she gets one more, Gogarty would be the 20th as promised?

[Ed Davitt @davitter]

@Ireland_Votes These are so helpful, thank you

@cjrecruiting2 @CavazosMelba Welcome both!

The government's new #Drone Framework has totally missed the point and won't protect the public from noise and other issues
