Brussels/Dublin/Cavan, cautious optimist inhabiting space @ the interface of policy & politics. Side hustle as member of #MickTheDog’s staff.
How many stars are in the sky? Just about enough to reflect Eileen Walsh’s brilliance.
Bravo on the most astonishing performance and endurance, and huge congratulations to the #corkmidsummer team for bringing this unique work to Ireland. & kudos to the 100 volunteers. #TheSecondWoman

Be proud.

Proud of whom you love.
Proud of who you are.
Proud of who you are becoming. Because your journey is your power.

Always remember: Europe is your ally. I am your ally.

This week and every week.

Be proud. Always.

“Europe has the largest Single Market in the world - 450 million consumers - that is our safe harbour in tumultuous times.
And Europe will stand at the side of those directly impacted”.
The universal tariffs announced by the US are a major blow to businesses and consumers worldwide.

Europe is prepared to respond.

We'll always protect our interests and values.
We're also ready to engage.

And to go from confrontation to negotiation.

As everyone sleeps, I’m relishing this morning’s @ppfideas.bsky.social drop - Davis Runciman’s superb analysis of #SpikeLee’s 1989 Do the Right Thing. A tense, highly political film, of its time yet timeless, it’s magnificent & among my favourites of all time. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/p...

“It is easy for researchers to gripe that politicians don’t understand science. A better response is to learn about politics and policy, and to get involved.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Advising governments about science is essential but difficult. So train people to do it
A great scientist doesn’t necessarily make an effective science adviser — but schooling and practice can help to bridge the gap.

Excellent glossary!
