An EU member state was attacked, with migrants used as weapons in a seemingly orchestrated manoeuvre. Giorgia Meloni and other leaders across Europe chose to blame the country being attacked.

Despite evidence pointing toward Moroccan instigation, EU home affairs ministers would not even discuss the idea yesterday - reportedly at Spanish insistence.

In 1894, when the Belgian city of Antwerp was hosting a World's Fair, 144 Congolese people were forcibly brought to the city to be exhibited in the Congo Pavilion.

The White House blindsided the European Central Bank by dumping billions of euros in order to protect US treasuries, then lashed out at the ECB for confirming this had happened.

Fearing further withdrawals, the EBU has ruled countries at war or in a "sensitive geopolitical situation" cannot host. They may also ban swarm-voting. The next day, they lost their Israeli sponsor.

My response to Daniel Hannan telling Icelanders that being a non-voting part of the EU is better than being a member state.

“Do not retaliate and you will be rewarded,” the White House told Europe in April 2025. Our leaders believed the lie. But Mark Carney has understood that appeasement only invites more attacks.

A slim majority of Icelanders didn’t see the benefit of being able to decide their own laws. That’s a troubling sign for the health of European democracy.

The AfD’s win in Saxony-Anhalt could give the far right seats in the national Bundesrat for the first time since the federal republic’s creation.

I’m in Canada this week, where the anger with America is palpable everywhere – as is the determination to resist. What a contrast with the European denial and cowardice I see at home.
