The Foreign Press Association in London

At an EU-UK Summit most of the international press has been denied accreditation.
This makes no sense.

The FPA is dismayed by Sir Keir Starmer's press accreditation policy for the EU-UK Summit of Monday 19th May. The vast majority of EU news outlets have been denied access. We have written to @10DowningStreet to urge him to reconsider.

Many thanks to the @fpalondon.bsky.social for organizing such an interesting group of journalists from all over the world to come into Bloomberg HQ to hear about my book Punishing Putin. Lots of interest in how sanctions could be used to in any deal to end the war

We have to stand up and do something about the #ClimateCrisis and @mikebernerslee.bsky.social explains WHY what we need is #AclimateofTruth and how to get it, in his latest #mustread presented today at #FPA

Happy anniversary to the #LondonEye litterally turning 25 today! From the Millenium to 2025 over 85 million visitors have taken a pod.
