Watch Nathalie Loiseau, Emmanuel Macron’s Europe sherpa, concurrently mislead and patronise patronise Andrew Neil on his present final evening. I assumed Neil would chew her up and spit her out. However on the evening, it was much more weird:
Might the EU afford no deal?

Queried by Neil if it was actually the time to take a tough line on the Brexit negotiations, when Europe’s economic system is already fragile after persevering with labour unrest, Loiseau opted for brazen contempt for actuality seasoned with particular conceitedness sauce, well-known to these used to coping with the excessive echelons of the French state. There are not any extra strikes in France, she declared, including for good measure she was ‘shocked’ a journalist wouldn’t know that. Does Macron recognise how silly this makes him look? Why would he make use of somebody who makes claims which might be so ludicrously and clearly unfaithful?
This morning, this clip doesn’t function on the Twitter feed of Loiseau, who along with being Macron’s level individual on the European Renaissance (his venture to deepen the EU comity) can also be an MEP, former ally of Man Verhofstadt, and a former director of the École Nationwide d’Administration, the hothouse for the ultra-top stage of the French administrative class.
Clearly Loiseau’s assertion is ridiculous since this morning my trash was not collected and this discover was posted on the door of the native put up workplace. Clearly, they didn’t get the memo:
To verify the proof earlier than my very own eyes, I’ve an app on my iPhone referred to as ‘C’est la grève’ which reveals, though it appears to have escaped Loiseau’s consideration, that right this moment there’s a nationwide strike overlaying nationwide and commuter rail, air site visitors management, colleges, hospitals and trash assortment, together with quite a few different sectors. Certainly, we’ve had nothing however strikes for months, interspersed with such spectacles as law enforcement officials preventing firefighters within the streets, protesters maimed by exploding police munitions and monumental piles of garbage in some communes. All apparently imaginary, based on the view of Nathalie Loiseau. And, it may be added, within the minds of some incompetent or credulous journalists who’re attempting to argue that none of that is taking place.
