A good start to decarbonising Brussels mobility – needs the public transport investment in Brussels and beyond though. “Pour la taxation kilométrique, Bruxelles n’a pas le luxe d’attendre.” lecho.be/dossier/mobili… via @lecho

This is a very good analysis – though of course SM/CU is ironically the worst option from a democracy perspective: all the rules and none of the say. yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

Listening to our new podcast series, and struck by @DundeeLeader’s comment on what’s needed to make participatory budgeting successful: “guts”. So true. overcast.fm/+SESFhaIkw

You see the drip drip of news coming out of Hungary, and you know it’s bad. But it’s not till you see it all in one place that you realise how bad. economist.com/node/21770668?… @TheEconomist

The new leader, who recently emerged from a power struggle within the ruling party, has threatened to suspend the national assembly, using historic rights vested in a traditional tribal leader, if it continues to oppose his plans for radical economic transformation.
The move seems certain to exacerbate tensions with the separatist movement in the restive northern region of the country, but the divided opposition movement is unlikely to be able to mount significant resistance.
European leaders have expressed concern at the latest developments, but the White House, seeing an easy target for trade talks, has been more welcoming. #brexitfromtheforeigndesk

Where to start with this idiocy?
Where to start with this idiocy?
1. The EU has taken Ireland’s side from day one and their unity has been impressive
2. The Irish public are overwhelmingly behind the common position
3. A hard border would be the consequence of the UK’s failure to uphold GFA twitter.com/JohnRentoul/st…4. The border would exist because of a campaign led by Johnson that lied about or ignored consequences for Ireland and UK
5. Johnson could, today, abandon UK’s discretionary red lines and end the prospect of a hard border, but chooses not to6.The WA removes the prospect of a hard border but UK negotiated it then refused to sign it, in a campaign led by Johnson and Davis
7. Ireland has no duty to save the UK from the consequences of its bad policies, and understandably low trust in its promises (see 6)8. After a no-deal, the ending of a hard border (and money and citizens rights) would be the opening demands before any negotiation on an FTA starts, so a hard border won’t be forever
9. Even if, implausibly, the UK still refused to nego;tiate, a unification referendum and/or state collapse in the UK would take away a hard border by other means.
