This kind of EU bullshit is always around. Bardella's message here sounds like that from his friends at the FPÖ:

By luck I’m in Paris on 4 June so will go to whatever we’re supposed to call a Bluesky meetup. Tweetup was a good name. Anyway whatever it is I’ll be at this for at least part of it 🙂

To be absolutely clear: there is no excuse for you to continue posting on X. None. You are doing it out of convenience, maybe habit, because you don‘t want to give up your followers. “If we all leave, it’s going to be worse” stopped making sense a long time ago.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word.

So neither Downing Street nor the Foreign secretary was told about the decision to given Mandleson clearance. The FCDO just busked it? I find that very hard to believe

Hungary’s voters shunned Orbán – but it may be too early to celebrate end of Europe’s far right

Many things to say about the demise of Orbanism but the scale of his defeat is impressive. This is surely also a rejection of Trump & Vance. The threatened new era of official US interference in European domestic politics has got off to a satisfyingly calamitous start

The other way of looking at it Pete is you don't have much of an alliance if some of its members actively threaten to invade others

Want to strengthen EUropean democracy? (1) Do not accept anti-democratic behavior within the EU (2) Become less dependent upon NATO/US (3) Convince EUropeans of importance and costs of democracy (4) Develop a humane immigration discourse and policy
