Finally, we are stepping up our work to lift barriers in our own single market. This crisis has made one thing clear: in times of uncertainty, the single market is our anchor of stability and resilience.

For millions of Europeans, Schengen made daily life dramatically easier: students studying abroad, cross-border workers, and tourists no longer needed to carry passports or wait at borders. It had an immediate and profound social impact.

We hear you and agree. So we are working on rules for single digital booking and ticketing and an initiative for multimodal digital mobility services. They’ll help rail operators and digital platforms make travel easier and more eco-friendly.

Today, we open a new chapter in the long-standing friendship between Europe and Central Asia. With a new Strategic Partnership between our regions. €12 billion in Global Gateway investments will support our shared priorities ↓ europa.eu/!PGwPNd

I spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum this morning. In a shifting global economy, strong and reliable partners matter. Canada and Mexico are focused on deepening our trade relations and building stronger economies, together.

We regret the unjustified US 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports. The EU will protect its consumers and businesses. We are launching swift, proportionate countermeasures worth up to €26 billion, matching the economic impact of the US tariffs. More about our response ↓ europa.eu/!rcMqWy

Those new Amazon Bond films in full From the latest Private Eye, in shops now.

The Scottish have won the AI Wars.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

It's the first show in France dedicated to the art which came under attack during the Nazi regime.

So anyone who books accommodation via AirBnB is funding the owner who apparently is joining Elon Musk`s work in DOGE for Trump`s presidency. Spread the word.

Canadians are preparing to create a retail blackout on Feb 28 of all U.S retailers doing business here. For one day, show them we have the power when provoked. Absolutely no purchases from Walmart, Home Depot, Best Buy, Amazon, McDonald’s, Staples, Gap,Toys r Us, Costco or any other US retailers.

I have changed search engines. It’s a wee thing.

Something's going on in Brussels, and after today's news from the US I am freaking out. Last week was bad enough but they've taken it to another level.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

The damning statistics that reveal the true cost of Brexit, five years on

There's still one or two Tories around that know what they're talking about. Heseltine absolutely smashes it.

Five years of Brexit and no one wants it. Can we please stop? This is just silly.

Michael Heseltine is 100% correct when he says Brexiteers sold Britain a “pack of lies” called for UK to rejoin the EU The former deputy PM said the UK should be “at the heart of Europe” & returning to the bloc would be “in the best interests of a generation of young British people.”

Every constituency in Britain favours trade with EU over US, new poll suggests The poll saw just 21 per cent of people say the US should be the UK’s priority over the EU www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Labour does something right for nature - headline shocker. For the first time in five years, the sugar beet barons of East Anglia will *not* be allowed to use neonicotinoids.

Offline or online, Europe acts steadfastly against hatred. A revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online is being integrated into the Digital Services Act. It’ll strengthen platforms' handling of illegal hate speech and ensure effective #DSA enforcement ↓ europa.eu/!cmmGdj
