My God. This is the center of Kyiv. A civilian building, a historic one, built in the 1850s. Russian terror knows no bounds. They are attacking and killing Ukrainian civilians just because they can. If Russia is not stopped, it will expand its terror and violence.

‘Kölsch is not a drink, it is a religion’ in Cologne, and it’s only brewed in and around the German city. But which of the many beautiful, storied beer halls serves up the best?

🍺 CASK ISN’T WHAT YOU THINK 🍺 Warm? Flat? Old fashioned? Nope. Cask is cool, naturally conditioned and packed with flavour. And it’s not all bitters and brown ales either, although we do love those too. Think crisp pales, hoppy IPAs and modern styles with loads of flavour.

A really key point. Where EU-Can is going to land is very unclear, but what's *driving* the discussion is entirely clear. Meanwhile, in the UK, there seems no sense of urgency & to the extent there is any discussion it's stuck in 2016 - which in geo-pol/econ terms is a different era.
