- Good line up in London today 🇬🇧 Starmer 🇺🇦 Zelenskyy 🇫🇷 Macron 🇩🇪 Scholz 🇮🇹 Meloni 🇨🇦 Trudeau 🇪🇸 Sánchez 🇵🇱 Tusk 🇩🇰 Frederiksen 🇳🇴 Støre 🇫🇮 Stubb 🇸🇪 Kristersson 🇳🇱 Schoof 🇨🇿 Fiala 🇷🇴 Bolojan 🇹🇷 Fidan 🇪🇺 Von der Leyen 🇪🇺 Costa NATO’s Mark Rutte
- Senior EU officials tell me the EU is considering offering qualified Russian 🇷🇺 citizens EU 🇪🇺 passports - to accelerate Russian economic brain drain This is just one of many innovative measures being considered to complement economic sanctions now in place 🇪🇺🇺🇦
- Senior French official: “Merz is not even Chancellor yet, but he has done more to secure his place in history than Scholz has done with 4 years in power.” The Franco-German engine is back. Will be absolutely key to everything Europe now does as it confronts the chaos it faces
- Both Truss and Sunak deny Brexit is responsible for the problems at Dover. Straight lie. No challenge. Miserable
- "One of the world’s most prolific enemies of truth is Elon Musk. He is surely the global far right’s most significant figure, and he holds the world’s largest megaphone. As he may put it, a battle to defeat him is now inevitable – and it has to be won."
- 👀 A senior EU source tells me: “Putin has now taken day-to day-control of the conflict and delegated the running of Russia to the Prime Minister”
- EU side now very concerned about contagion risks UKG's fiscal actions pose to financial stability in the Eurozone Plenty of Euro area banks and insurance firms are exposed to UK gilts This is serious. EuropeanCommission is very worried. IMF is worried. White House is worried
- Events last week show the entire Brexit edifice now effectively collapsing under its own contradictions. Its political economy consequences - low taxes & deregulation - at last made explicit & rejected by markets & voters; the minoritarian nature of the project exposed
- Incredible. Scholz as we've never seen him x.com/KadirHama/stat…
- Liz Truss: "I will not sign up to anything which sees goods moving within our own country being subject to checks." But @BorisJohnson did - when he opted for a hard Brexit
- "Elon Musk is not just the Trump-supporting owner of X, formerly known as Twitter. It turns out he is also one of the platform’s biggest peddlers of election-related disinformation, according to a new report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate"
