Last month, I sat down with Denmark's European Affairs Minister @marie_bjerre ☕️. New EU coloured winds have blown at the right time as @eu2025dk takes over the @EUCouncil presidency. We discuss the EU's popularity peak, what Europe means for Danish politics and much more 🇪🇺🇩🇰.
As Denmark prepares to take over the @EUCouncil presidency tomorrow, Europe Minister @marie_bjerre is thinking big. The EU needs to work together on the big questions of defence, migration and climate, while avoiding overreach in other areas, Bjerre told @mattjlynes in an

Can highly suggest reading this excellent piece from @mjshrimper on @TheAthleticFC to understand the systematic failings around this whole saga ⬇️.

A Premier League player is representing his club despite facing accusations of sexual violence. And nobody can talk or do anything about it.
Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault

Another day another Dane 🇩🇰 Today, Denmark takes the top seat at @EUCouncil. I spoke with @DKamb_EU about the country's priorities for the next six months, the turbulence ahead and the role of the rotating presidency👑. Tak for hjælpen @Mikkellassen_ @eu2025dk 🇪🇺.
Today, Denmark takes over the @EUCouncil presidency. Geopolitical turbulence means that the country's plans could be thrown out at a moment's notice. @mattjlynes spoke with Ambassador @DKamb_EU about Denmark's priorities and what it can hope to achieve at an unpredictable time.

Can the EU become "competitive" if it forgets to bring its workers along for the ride? Probs not. I took a look at why the EU needs to get serious about its skills and training agenda, rather than cosy up to business heads and please their P&L sheets.
Europe's workers will power the @EU_Commission's push for competitiveness, but legislation to provide them with the skills to do so is lacking. @MattJLynes reports on the risk of widening the EU's skills gap.

As the EU strives to cut ties with Russian energy, it could be accused of merely trading one dependency for another. Could renewable sources prove a cleaner and more secure way for Europe's energy future?. My latest in @Parlimag explores the complexities of Europe's energy union.
When the lights went out in Spain and Portugal on Monday, neighbouring countries jumped in to help turn them back on. If the EU had a more integrated energy union, such ad hoc assistance might not have been necessary. @mattjlynes reports how energy supply could be the next
