Mercifully cheerful episode to hear
on the 3rd anniversary of Putin's
invasion of Ukraine.

A wonderfully analytical and uplifting podcast, we need more politicians like that...and an inspiring call to arms for anyone with a centre or left of politics world view.

Well worth the time to listen.

I really like Timmermans. Thanks for doing this interview

Great, I’ve been wondering for ages when you were going to do an interview with him! Suggestions for other Dutchies would be Laurens Dassen (Volt leader), Sigrid Kaag (ex leader of D66 and currently working for the UN in Gaza) and Marietje Schaake (ex-MEP and expert in fighting big tech).

Very good interview. Very pleased to see major political European figures speaking truth to power. Maybe the current Trump debacle will have a really positive effect on European collaboration.
