Timing of @EU_Commission move on youth mobility very odd. Bxl knows Labour can't afford to have an election debate about something that looks like free movement. So why do it now? Suggests defensiveness: Bxl unclear about how to handle Lab & greater openness to it in EU capitals

France has catalogued an intensified and systematic Russian campaign to sow division, discredit the country and test its armed forces. How Russia targeted France and radicalised Emmanuel Macron, in @TheEconomist economist.com/europe/2024/04…
1 week & 25 client meetings in HongKong & Singapore later... Lots of interest in EU-China relations, Ukraine & impact of Trump presidency on both. EU elections, populism & UK elections & implications. Tories seen as 🤡, Brexit a stupid waste of time. So much for “Global Britain”
Israel has hit #Iran directly tonight, launching what appears to be an attack that includes drones, missiles, and possibly air strikes. Also coordinated with strikes on Iranian allies in Syria and Iraq.
This is a direct denial from a regime official: No missiles were fired into #Iran from outside its territory There were drones but they were shot down. A telling, early take on this from within Iran. Risk of immediate Iranian escalation from this event looks low.

Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (@DarwinCollege) Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the @spectator libido section.
Great scoop from @SpeedMaddie and @pmdfoster - “A Defra official also cautioned against disclosing it to the media, saying one of its main aims was to avoid negative news stories.”Bad luck on.ft.com/3JvDH1b

So in summary: - Israel signaling this was a limited attack - Iran claiming it shot down three small drones & no attack on nuclear sites - Airspace back open If it’s what it looks like (big if) then we’re seeing conditions for de-escalation on both sides, not a lurch to war.
