This makes no sense.

The FPA is dismayed by Sir Keir Starmer's press accreditation policy for the EU-UK Summit of Monday 19th May. The vast majority of EU news outlets have been denied access. We have written to @10DowningStreet to urge him to reconsider.

Many thanks to the @fpalondon.bsky.social for organizing such an interesting group of journalists from all over the world to come into Bloomberg HQ to hear about my book Punishing Putin. Lots of interest in how sanctions could be used to in any deal to end the war

Thanks for an insightful q&a on the report Brexit Files

Our foreign correspondents flooded you with questions as the #Brexit #reset is intriguing the media and will surely dominate the debate in the current political climate …
