Obsessed with this old clip from Paul O’Grady I’ve just seen on TikTok when Rita Simons off EastEnders was his headline guest… and Taylor Swift is just there

As a Swiftie who supports Viktor Orbán, I guess you could say it’s been a hard night

Just your standard array of topics up for discussion on The Europeans this week: Mussolini, the Schengen Zone, testicles

“High speed” trains running at 80 km/hour. Direct services from Amsterdam to London now impossible. And Eurostar in the Netherlands at risk of being scrapped altogether A national embarrassment Instead of obsessing over Schiphol maybe we could fix this? dutchnews.nl/2024/09/eurost…

“If you’re defending the suffering in Gaza…then I’m sorry, but you’re a sociopath.” From my closing statement at the Gaza debate in New York tonight hosted by ⁦Open to Debate⁩

NEW EPISODE! This week, the idealised fantasy of the EU versus its awkward reality. @PawelZerka joins us to discuss the European Sentiment Compass (@ECF_tweets and ECFR) We're also joined by dw's Kate Laycock for a special guest edition of Good Week, Bad Week!

Thank you DW News DW Europe Kate Laycock for having us on Inside Europe! We had a lot of fun discussing The Europeans' origin story, what being European means to us, and that time Katy tried to make Dominic sing in front of a full European Parliament. dw.com/en/inside-euro…

I was trying to think of something sparky to say about this but it’s just very sad. My generation came of age in a Europe where most of us could travel freely, live and work where we wanted. That expansive idea of Europe is fading now. Our children’s lives will be very different.

🇳🇱 govt. wants to strip antisemitic rioters of citizenship. This is a dreadful idea Citizenship is an absolute right, which politicians should not have power to take away If you have a Dutch passport, then you’re Dutch - even if you kill the King and use his head as a hat stand.
