    Throughout the talks, the UK misread the Netherlands. The Dutch were always more attached to the internal market than UK thought. To help avoid future misunderstandings, here are my 1000 words for on how 🇳🇱views future ties with 🇬🇧.

    I'm late to this, I know This is a very good read: Poland's "dirty Remain" may be a bigger problem for the EU than Britain's "clean Brexit". Tho, I think Poland's and Britain's different but concurrent challenges to the EU's legal order reinforce one another and spell trouble.

    “Clean Brexit” was easy for the EU to deal with. Poland’s “Dirty Remain” is trickier to fix.

    Harold Wilson, speaking of the EEC: "If we can't dominate that lot, there is not much to be said for us." (The UK joined in 1973-5, the Treaty of Rome dates from 1957).

    Indeed. Ambassadors are essential diplomatic conduits: for the US to access power structures overseas, but also vice versa. The fallout of AUKUS and the collapse of Kabul would've been better managed with US ambassadors in place across Europe. via

    Came across this commemorative plaque in . Czar Peter - inspired as he was by the Dutch - visited the city in 1717.

    I should have included Spain (Philip II) and Malta as well. Thanks Twitter! I don't think Scotland (1603-1707) counts, given what happened afterwards. But I understand some of you may contest that. And well, Hannover...poor Hannover...

    And you had the political distinction Willem III was only a de jure monarch in England/Scotland and Ireland and not of the Netherlands, where he was the first civil servant in the Dutch Republic as Stadhouder of several provinces.

    R. Tombs: "UK never made a serious attempt to join a triumvirate w France and Germany to control the European Union." I beg to differ. From a small-state perspective that is precisely what happened and is why smaller EU states favoured a strong Commission, to keep them in check.

    Thanks to those for pointing out that this tweet - as phrased - is historically inaccurate. What I meant, however, is "sharing a monarch in Europe, while not being in the same political union". Knut forged a union w Eng, Denmark & Norway. As was Ireland. The Dutch never were.

    "France is the only country with which England or Britain has 3 times considered formal union: in the 1420s, in 1940 and in 1956." But, I would add, it is only with the Dutch that the English have shared a monarch.

    A few years ago a UK official told me that "the EU's approach to was overly legalistic", while the UK's approach was "political". Seems relevant now. Whatever the outcome of the current Protocol spat, Brexiters see law as subordinate to their higher political goal.

    "Deprived of the movement of sausages as a casus belli, they grasped another dubious foodstuff – the red herring." The problem, of course, is that the British don't really like herring. They sell it to the Dutch. And I have the figures to prove it.

    Someone: "Oh look, the Netherlands plays a central role in the development of semi-conductor technologies." Me: "Yes, true. ASML is pretty awesome." Someone: "We should set up an OPEC for Semiconductors!" Me: "...uh...no... we really shouldn't."

    I mean, of course, Britain could "survive" a trade war with the EU. But the question that the British electorate will have to ask at some point is whether all Britain aspires to do is "surviving".

    Indeed. The original backstop was much more provisional. Recall "unless and until". The NIP was always meant to be a quasi-permanent solution. "Quasi" because it requires consent among NI parties in 2024.

    No they really weren’t.

    Irish trade figures show what the real trade diversion effect of Brexit is: Imports to Ireland from GB being replaced rapidly by imports from NI, Netherlands and France. The landbridge has become a landwall.

    "Out of fashion"? Speak for yourself.

    Mark Rothko’s abstract art has fallen out of fashion. Here’s how a cohort of industry players is working to revive his market:
