Thank you so much @jonhenley for this incredibly nice piece for the @guardian marking five years of @EuropeansPod. When you put it this way, we really have covered a lot of ground. Might we even say... a continent's worth?

Oh goody, Trump is coming to town for the reopening of Notre-Dame. This will be his first foreign trip since the election so it's a diplomatic win for Macron at a time when French politics is a garbage fire, even if most French people hate Trump lemonde.fr/international/…

@Teamkadeal It’s an option, I guess! No idea what the markets would make of it…

@kjalee What if Macron let's the care taker gov sit until next July, when new parliementary elections can be held?

France's government will likely be gone by Wednesday. What the hell just happened, explained (1/ dunno, 8000 maybe)

This is the *best-case scenario*, and it seems likely to cause huge financial uncertainty for weeks on end. Lest we forget, we share a currency with 19 other countries.

which means everyday govt would have to run on emergency measures that allow basic state spending to continue.

A few hours after launching the crowdfunding page for @EuropeansPod’s new series, we’ve already raised an amazing amount of money 🤩 Proof of the strength of the concept behind this much-needed series, but also proof of how generous our listeners are. Feeling lucky today
