UK foreign secretary James Cleverly holidays with lobbyist in Gibraltar

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:16 GMT

LONDON — Britain’s foreign minister holidayed with a former lobbyist for the government of Gibraltar during a private trip to the contested territory last weekend.U.K. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly shared the same hotel as Ahzaz Chowdhury, a well-connected Conservative lobbyist and longstanding family friend, during the visit to Gibraltar, which was not publicized by the British government. While the trip did not breach any rules, transparency campaigners have raised concerns that details of informal relationships between lobbyists and U.K. ministers are often opaque and not sufficiently recorded. Chowdhury’s firm, Nudge Factory, has previously lobbied the U.K. government for projects on behalf of Gibraltar. A spokesperson for the foreign secretary said Cleverly visited the island for a private family holiday — but that he did also meet with Gibraltar’s Chief Minister Fabian Picardo during the trip. The governor of Gibraltar, David Steel, was also present at the meeti...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:16 GMT

LONDON — Could this be the start of a new bromance?U.K. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer is planning a high-profile trip to Paris next week for a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, two people briefed on the trip have told POLITICO.Starmer is due to meet Macron at the Elysée on Monday or Tuesday. Accompanying Starmer on his trip will be his new chief of staff Sue Gray, Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy.If confirmed, the trip would take place shortly before King Charles III travels to France for his own state visit later in the week.A bilateral summit with the French head of state would be a significant PR coup for Starmer, who is keen to appear statesmanlike with his opposition Labour Party 18 points ahead in the polls and with a general election looming next year.Macron’s plan to host Starmer will rile some Conservatives, however. Tory leader Rishi Sunak has struck up a good relationship with the French president since bec...

Why EU speeches are so damn boring

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:16 GMT

STRASBOURG — Honorable members, valued stakeholders … prepare to fall asleep. That’s how most speeches would start if politicians in the EU bubble were being honest. As European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen prepares to deliver her much-anticipated State of the Union address, POLITICO asks: Why do EU’s top brass usually inspire yawns instead of rousing applause?The first challenge facing an EU speechwriter is how to interest an audience in policies that feel so remote.Dan Sobovitz, who was European Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič’s speechwriter for five years, pointed to an additional challenge — intermediaries. “European politicians will never be able to reach intimacy because there are other proxies, like journalists, like influencers, at the national level who are going to interpret Brussels for them,” said Sobovitz, a Hungarian-Swiss-Israeli communications expert.The antidote? Tell personal stories. “I would try to make a mix between the policy ...

School bus drivers across the state are fed up and parents are on edge because of close calls involving drivers going around stopped school buses.7 Investigates recently got a look at how one local city is cracking down on drivers who speed through school zones. “My heart sank and I ran out of the house,” said Peabody parent Elizabeth Mover in an interview. Mover’s son, Ben, was struck by a car on the way to school last year. “He did everything right,” she said. “And a car unfortunately ran the red light and hit him while he was on his bike.”Ben is going to be OK. Now, his mother is on a mission to protect other children.“It sparked a fire in me that I was just angry that nothing was happening to these people who were violating the rules of the road,” Mover said.“When you think someone’s going to get hit right in front of you, it’s pretty terrifying,” said Kathleen Kraemer, a school bus instructor and safety officer for Healey Bus.Officials speaking with 7NEWS said bu...

Red Sox swept in doubleheader, fall 4-1 to Yankees after offense no shows

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:16 GMT

The lineup fielded by the New York Yankees in the nightcap of Tuesday’s doubleheader was hardly a Murderers’ Row. The Yankees surrounded legitimate big league threats Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres with a feeble collection of rookies, minor leaguers and extras.And yet somehow that group still managed to out-hit the Boston Red Sox.Other than rookie Ceddanne Rafaela, who hammered his first career home run and added a double for good measure, the Red Sox offense completely no-showed in the evening’s 4-1 loss. Boston collectively went 0 for 15 with runners in scoring position and left 12 on base, squandering chance after chance in one of the most disappointing efforts of the season.With the doubleheader sweep, the Red Sox have also fallen into a tie for last in the AL East with the Yankees.Early on it looked as if the Red Sox were in for a long night, and Kutter Crawford a very short one. The Red Sox starting pitcher walked the first two men and allowed a single to loa...
