Don’t be so silly.
The French government’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state is curious and disturbing on multiple levels. I am certain this will embolden Hamas and make a ceasefire more difficult. In addition, here are some questions that come to mind. Who’s in charge? What are the.

Oh god. Not again !.
In a speech today, Turkish President Erdogan set his sights on conquering a vast territory stretching from the China Sea to the Adriatic, envisioning a Turkish, Arab, and Kurdish alliance to achieve it. A neo-Ottoman dream reloading.#Erdogan #Turkey #NeoOttomanism #MiddleEast

When, therefore, will the Lib Dems propose UK reentry to the EU ? That’s really the only way to reverse Brexit.
The @emmanuelMacron is right when he blames #Brexitdisaster as contributing to #migrant issue. @Nigel_Farage hypocrisy is sickening when he seeks to criticise numbers entering illegally. His lies have consequences. @LibDems #EU #peoplesmuggling @NCA_UK @Reform_Uk @EdwardJDavey.

Progress in the EU has ground to a halt. Enlargement, MFF, single market, climate policy and constitutional reform are all blocked. We have hit the limits of confederal Europe. Please wake up. @eu2025dk

Only one article (48(7) TEU) needs be revised at first — this will operationalise the passerelle. And Article 353 TFEU must be suppressed. An independent expert group should replace hapless inter-institutional methods to prepare Union for reform and enlargement. /END.

An enlarged Union will fail unless it drops the shackles of confederacy and allows a federal core group to lead the way to deeper integration, allowing the eurosceptics to stay behind. 3/.

Von der Leyen and Costa should call Orban's bluff and insist that the accession process returns to the letter of Article 49, limiting the national veto until the very end. 2/.

In which I argue that the EU is not being honest in claiming that enlargement and reform are proceeding 'in parallel'. This fallacy damages all candidate countries, especially Ukraine which will have to be ushered in as a full member in a hurry. 1/.
📄Beyond Confederation: a wider and deeper Union. @AndrewDuffEU argues for a fast-track entry into the EU for Ukraine & treaty amendments, drafted by an independent group of experts, that would give the Union flexibility through a more federal approach. 🔗
