No, @elonmusk, the U.S. stopped funding Ukraine last year. In fact, U.S. companies make money on American weapons for which we Europeans pay. The more you meddle in our politics and the more you play politics with your products, the more you damage your brand.

And some of that US taxpayer money comes back through multiple laundry machines to fund political campaigns in America, which is why you see some politicians caring more about Ukraine than America!

Quickest way for the war to end is for Russia to withdraw from Ukraine.

🚨More Chinese hybrid-related drama. Borderlex has learnt that cars already en route to Europe won't arrive before the safeguard is applied from 1 December and could be blocked if the quota is already used up. Also depends how China divvies up the quota borderlex.net/2026/10/19/eu-…

EU safeguard could block China-made hybrids already at sea

There has been a further IT issue affecting @NATS. Engineers have fixed the problem and systems are resuming. I know this will be deeply frustrating for passengers after the previous issue. There may be some delays as things reset. Please check with your airline for updates.

Also - MEPs feel they need to set the criteria for which third countries can be classified as 'Made in Europe' - why? Because the commission didn't do it! Seems crazy to me. If this is done wrong can jeopardise entire trading relationships
Rob Francis@RobFrancisEUSep 3
Interesting point by @jorgenwarborn that the EU risks losing some market access in its FTA negotiations as a result of the IAA. Currently uncertain whether FTA partners will be considered as "Made in Europe", but so far seems not. EPP pushing strongly for them to be included

By refusing to participate in the declaration, Farage demonstrates his ego - and shows he has much more in common with the US than the UK. His politics is alien to our traditions, and not remotely British. /7
