My son asked me to explain #Brexit recently. So, I told him to imagine if he & 27 of his classmates pooled their Lego & built for years. Then one day, one of them wants to leave & would like their Lego back. The blue ones.

He immediately grasped how complicated that would be.

Frankie said Relax. A year ago today, Mario told Europe to wake up. #Competitiveness

If you want to see more #momentum - show your support. (Shout out to national governments across the EU-27!).

Peter @Serafinowicz is a shoo-in to play Freddie Forsyth when the inevitable biopic gets developed?

Don't think that the misery happening in Gaza will fade to nothing. It won't. It will resonate as a staggering example of first world hypocrisy for a long time to come.

@lewis_crofts @EU_Commission @Apple yes, a stark contrast to the situation France finds itself in.

Think data collection is a recent thing?

Think again. Here's some data on harvest dates in Burgundy going all the way back to.... 1355.

Today is the day

.. the Irish government delivers its bazooka bonanza of a budget.

…and France hears the plans of a PM capable and experienced enough to spell out the changes & sacrifices needed to put the country’s finances back on track.

[POLITICOEurope @POLITICOEurope]

Michel Barnier's plans for France's new coalition government are, as someone close to the prime minister said, "the best kept secret of the French Republic."

What he says in his speech today will have major implications for everyone in the country.

@paulhayesman Hurrah!

Watch this statement. Arab countries including Palestine saying they’ll agree to security of israel if Netanyahu et al agree to a two-state solution. And if he won’t? ‘Ask Israel what its end game is’..

What a glorious, perfectly timed thing Spaced was.

[Channel 4 @Channel4]

Poor little baby - no justification for Netanyahu’s savagery.
Nor the delay for a trial at the ICC. Alongside Putin, Sinwar, et al.

In my @IrishTimes column today, I write about the need to complain more about Ireland's public transport deficiencies. It is a gesture of solidarity with others who might need this service even more than you do. https://t.co/bZ49ROSb6f

From #Gaza to #Sudan, #Ukraine & beyond, the use of explosive weapons in populated areas is one of the greatest threats to civilians in contemporary armed conflict.
