Why is this French MEP pretending the country's crippling strikes are over?
Watch Nathalie Loiseau, Emmanuel Macron’s Europe sherpa, simultaneously mislead and patronise Andrew Neil on his show last night. I assumed Neil would chew her up and spit her out. But on the night, it was even more bizarre: Could the EU afford no deal? “I’m surprised that a journalist doesn’t know that there aren’t strikes any more in France” replies Nathalie Loiseau, French MEP https://t.co/iwlKzbAdes #andrewneilshow pic.twitter.com/1q3Vaxkfko— BBC Politics (@BBCPolitics) February 5, 2020 Asked by Neil if it was the time to take a hard line on Brexit negotiations, when Europe’s economy is already fragile after continuing labour unrest, Loiseau opted for brazen contempt for reality seasoned with special arrogance sauce.
