. @TimmermansEU is absolutely right !
You don’t negotiate with EU law, and don’t pay governments who do… no matter what the political or geopolitical “reality” is !

After such damning testimony it’s no longer possible for Trump to deny he was behind the coup
Even wanted to take the lead !
Can such a plotter again be candidate for the presidency of the world’s most powerful democracy ?
For the sake of the free world, don’t let it happen !

Zelensky is right. Ukraine is defending 🇪🇺
The longer the war goes on before Putin is defeated, the more damage & costs we all face.
Ukraine needs our heavy weapons to #StopPutin now.

Solidarity with my anti - Brexit friend Steve Bray..targeted for being too "noisy".
The latest UK Government approach to protest...trying to cancel it.
RT @charlotterlynch: On the day that “noisy” protest becomes unlawful under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, at least 20 police officers have just surrounded anti-Brexit protestor Steve Bray outside the Houses of Parliament and seized his loud speaker. @LBC

Johnson & Truss fight for the leadership of a party steered by extremists who don't understand Northern Ireland or care about international law.
Party is relentlessly put before country. When will the British people say enough is enough?

Big questions over pushbacks & migrant deaths on the EU's borders 🇪🇸 🇬🇷
A fortress Europe approach will fail & is morally bankrupt.
We need a European approach based on solidarity, including legal routes for those fleeing war & persecution.

Russian attack on shopping mall in #Kremenchuk yet another war crime.
How long will EU leaders continue to finance Putin’s terrorist state?

To end Putin’s aggression we will need much more then a debt default. We must stop financing his war machine !
Only a full fossil fuel ban and a further extension of sanctions can have an effect. Europe’s weakness is unforgivable !

Geopolitical power is about taking your own fate in hand and not having others inflict their madness on you…
We need a full ban on Russian fossil fuels, a real energy union & a solidarity fund to support those who suffer most from the inevitable fallout !

Instead of deciding a full oil and gas embargo in the first weeks of the war, we hesitated.. and so allowed him to find other customers and take full advantage of rising prices !

Humiliation..is continuing to buy Russian gas until Putin decides to switch it off.
He controls the revenue from us to finance his genocide in Ukraine.
The moral approach would be a ban on Russian fossil fuels NOW & real 🇪🇺solidarity to adapt..

EU has a political problem: giving in to blackmailers only makes them do it more often.
EU has a structural problem: unanimity
We need a Convention to stop endless veto’s weakening Europe !
RT @phdskat: Confirmation that Hungary will veto EU implementation of the global minimum tax at today's #ECOFIN.
That's three failed attempts under the French EU Presidency, and a serious blow. What a mess.
