Von der Leyen courts conservatives with industry-focused Green Deal speech

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:51 GMT

BRUSSELS — On climate policy, Ursula von der Leyen is telling Europe’s conservatives what they want to hear. The Commission president spoke at length about the EU’s flagship Green Deal in her State of the Union speech on Wednesday, but avoided any mention of new or ongoing legislative efforts. It’s the clearest sign yet that the EU’s climate efforts are moving from regulation to implementation — a shift in line with demands from the center-right European People’s Party (EPP) to stop burdening industry with new green rules. “As we enter the next phase of the European Green Deal, one thing will never change: We will keep supporting European industry throughout this transition,” von der Leyen told the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The EPP, the political family to which von der Leyen also belongs, has argued that additional green legislation would hurt farmers and companies. In response, she promised a series of “dialogues” ...

But she argued in a series of interviews aimed at promoting a new book that the U.K. would be better off if Tory MPs had jut accepted her agreement and moved on.“It wouldn’t have given either side 100 per cent of what they wanted but it would have given the country a better overall deal,” May told the BBC.Now a backbench MP, May was replaced by Johnson, who in 2019 struck a new EU deal that eventually passed following a landslide general election victory.

PMQs scorecard: Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer fight about spies as Black Mirror creator watches

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:51 GMT

Prime minister’s questions: a shouty, jeery, very occasionally useful advert for British politics. Here’s what you need to know from today’s session in POLITICO’s weekly run-through.What they sparred about: Spying and terrorism. Keir Starmer opted to push Rishi Sunak first on the case of escaped terror suspect Daniel Khalife, before moving on to the row about a parliamentary staffer arrested amid a Chinese influence probe.Was there a theme? Absolutely. Starmer argued that apparent security failures in both cases show Sunak and his Conservatives “keep ignoring the warnings” about decline and risks in the public sector. He alluded to the crisis over dodgy concrete-addled crumbling schools on that theme too.Other action figures are available: The Labour leader branded Sunak “inaction man” — not his worst gag (though it’s PMQs so it’s a low bar.)Things can’t only get better: For his part, Sunak strained to point out that prison escapes happened ...

But he didn’t appear in either game and was optioned back to Triple-A without making his MLB debut.He’s back at Camden Yards this week and will pitch there for the first time Wednesday, but it’ll be against the Orioles, not for them.
