Congratulations citizens of Bulgaria and Romania! You have waited for so long! You belong to Schengen. And you should benefit in full from Schengen freedoms. Today's decision in COREPER shows this will happen from 1 January 2025.

1st data on #homelessness frm 2021 census available on @EU_Eurostat site and ... they make little/no sense! #Homelessness defined as on street, in short-term shelter (<12 m) & in places as huts, garages & caves. Real nr for 🇧🇪 is <14.000. Census comes with 10fold underestimate!

The efficiency of the combined LD/LAB vote shares is a real sight to behold. The Lib Dem share in seats Labour won seems to have rarely surpassed 10%, then as soon as the Labour share drops below ~30% the LD share explodes.

🚨The coalition @vonderleyen is relying on to get re-elected is getting extremely tight, as it's just dipped sub-400 for the first time. EPP 188 S&D 136 Renew 74 = 398 Meaning @vonderleyen can only afford to lose 37 votes or she's doomed. [Hat tip data guru @hclae.]

Ahead of this week's EU election, politicians and parties have been ramping up their spending on online ads. But none have gone as big as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party. W/ @markscott82 @LuciaCMackenzie @hclae

It's 19H and polling stations in continental Portugal have just closed. In an hour voting concludes in Madeira and the Azores, at which point we'll have provisional results. Participation appears much higher than expected; stay with @POLITICOEurope for updates as they come.

🚨Scoop! The European Parliament has a plan to make MEPs turn up and stay at its poorly-attended plenary debates: Cancel them if at least 240 aren't in the room. Will the threat work? https://t.co/maIcVVmcfl

A suggested rule change aims to banish images of dreary deliberations in a empty chamber.

Wanted: Belgian ambassador (f). The top of Belgian diplomacy has a women's problem. Yes, things are getting better, but the whispers from female diplos we got before and after this story, show that a lot more effort is needed. W @hclae @CamGijs
