Growing backlash against 'European way of life' job title

Socialists: "complete condemnation" at Wed meeting

Liberal leader Dacian Ciolas has asked VDL to drop name.

Greens: "completely scary and unacceptable"

Left: "co-opting lang of far-right"

Frans Timmermans said to be furious with decision to appoint another "executive vice president"

He and Margrethe Vestager were meant to be two highest ranking VPs.

Now Valdis Dombrovskis makes three and Timmermans not happy.
Socialists regard the Dombrovskis appointment as breaking terms of July jobs compromise.

Now top of commission is two EPP (VDL and Dombrovskis), one Socialist (Timmermans) and one Liberal (Vestager).

Not fair say Socialists, who already felt hard done by in jobs share out.

Michel Barnier has updated EU27 ambassadors on Brexit. While he didn’t use his favourite catchphrase - “the clock is ticking” - time was on everyone’s minds.

All agreed the last moment for UK to table "serious" proposals is end of next week - after Tory party conference.

This is exactly what Leo Varadkar said on Thursday. EU diplomats are reluctant to call it a deadline, although all stressed that time is fast running out.

This was a businesslike meeting with little discussion of the incredible scenes in the House of Commons yesterday.

Barnier made some general comments that the “dramatisation” of the British debate was not helping.

Guy Verhofstadt has said British nationals living in EU27 countries are facing "a huge problem" because some administrations "are making things more difficult".

EP needs to sort out before consent to WA.

Can't recall such pointed criticism of arrangements in EU27 for Brits.
British nationals in France are worried about minimum income requirements.

While in Germany people are said to be in limbo over their status - more here theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
And in Belgium, one British national had to file official documents to confirm that Edmonton (her birth place) was in London (place of birth on ID card).

Boris Johnson: Getting a Brexit deal "not made much easier by this kind of stuff in parliament, or in the courts".

Is that true? Focusing purely on Brussels negotiations - I would say no.
Of course may be other reasons why SC decision makes it harder for gov - loss of gov time, energy and political capital.

But on substance of negotiations nothing has changed.
EU thinks UK has failed to come up with adequate replacement for Irish backstop. That was EU view before judgement and (unsurprisingly) is view now.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

On @tagaq's recommendation, I had the chance to watch @Alethea_Aggiuq’s documentary #AngryInuk, It's about how #WhiteSupremacist #vegan lobbyists have decimated Inuit communities with food insecurity. If you care about justice, watch this: nfb.ca/film/angry_inuk
I want to be clear, opposition to the #sealhunt is #WhiteSupremacist and #racist in nature. It is absolutely clear to me that, at best, organizations like @peta ignore their impact on #Inuit. At worst, they're party to an intended programme of starvation.
In the entire course of her documentary, @Alethea_Aggiuq tried meeting with #vegan and #animalrights activists to discuss their impact on #indigenous communities. Every single attempt at communication was met with silence or avoidance.
