It took me just 50 years to write this book, about the real Europe, where you can be 'at home abroad'. Now in 24 languages. Here's the English paperback: amazon.co.uk/Homelands-Perso…

"The appointment of Stephen Miller as [Donald Trump's] new chief of staff might just ramp up the chance that he does something, but I think there will be huge pressure not to escalate in Iran." Director @bronwenmaddox joined @fromTGA to discuss the US midterm results and whether they will impact Donald Trump's foreign policy, via @BBCr4today.

💥Former Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán is singing and drinking rakija with his wife and Milorad Dodik at Dodik’s house in Banja Luka. Meanwhile, back home, three of Orbán’s former ministers have already been arrested on corruption charges.
Викторово @PM_ViktorOrban и моје пријатељство је трајно и искрено. С таквим пријатељима је увијек угодно и весело.

Dit korte boekje over Europa van @fromTGA werd me door meerdere lezers aangeraden, — en terecht! Het bruist van voorbeelden, anekdotes en weetjes die véél tekenender zijn voor ons continent dan grote, brede geschiedschrijving kon doen. Aanrader voor alle Europa-liefhebbers!
