What happened at the Claridge today is unacceptable. Municipal autonomy is a cornerstone of our democracy but can never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly since 1830. Banning political meetings is unconstitutional.Full stop.

The USB C thing says everything about EU. Impose standardisation for the sake of it. Sadly, it’s prehistoric technology that’s already redundant. Meanwhile in the real world, proper countries legislate to allow OEM replicas to be sold & to encourage competition. Thank God we left

At last this government takes principled stand vs EU. This latest ‘offer’ of free movement for 18-30 year-olds is worse than a joke. As always with EU, they offer things that are to their advantage; we have the jobs, the universities, the career opportunities. EU not so much…

4 of the world's Top 10 universities are in England. None are in the EU. Britain's youth unemployment rate is 12%. In much of southern Europe it's as high as 28%. The idea that young people are ‘missing out’ by not being in the EU is bollocks Britain is better for young people

Noel Gallagher: ‘they used to call those who wanted to overturn a vote fascists’. And this coming from a Remainer who didn’t even think we should have had a referendum. He then says that we shouldn’t be looking back at a decision that was made decisively. Sensible chap

Illegal migrants come from the EU, they should rightly be returned to the EU. How appropriate that they are now passing through the open border in Ireland that Leo Varadkar insisted on. Poetic justice.. apple.news/AlbQzfpRlT1ab_…

Even now, eight years on, the liberal elite still doesn’t grasp the Brexit vote. They bang on about airport queues or frictionless trade or Erasmus. They have no understanding that the vote was driven by a desire to completely re-order our society and system of governance.

EU accepted in Feb 17 that leaving Northern Ireland subject to EU law could harm the peace process… from “No Way Out” by Tim Shipman … despite all the public rhetoric about protecting the Good Friday Agreement clearly a risk the EU was prepared to take …

Effie Deans If you don't secure your border with your neighbours & they do t secure their borders, then their border problem becomes yours. Ireland is just find this out but this problem extends to Europe as a whole.

Wake up Europe, the digital age is bypassing you. You have no Google , Amazon, Meta, Apple. You arrogantly called SpaceX a fanciful dream and it wiped out the European Space Agency. You have no Nvidia and your response to AI has been to regulate before you have anything domestic

To all those who have read Donald Tusk’s claim that Poles will be richer than Brits by 2030 - in 2022, UK GDP per capita was $46,000. The same statistic for Poland was $18,000. As always - utter Eurobullshit. Why are these people so unhinged??

A question to the Twitterati - if you suddenly spotted Meghan somewhere in London, would you boo her? I have a horrible feeling I’d struggle to control myself. Odious woman!

Nothing succeeds like failure in today's Europe. The genocide cheerleader, the epitome of incompetence, the former German defence minister who left Berlin under a cloud of corruption, has been re-appointed President of the European Commission. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Apparently, it is customary in the French national assembly following an election for all members to shake hands with the youngest member. On this occasion, the youngest member happens to be 22-year-old Flavien Termet of the National Rally (RN). As can be seen here, a number of
