Utmost cheek of sneering Macron
THE sheer cheek of France’s preening president defies belief.
Sneering Emmanuel Macron claims Britain’s credibility is on the line over the Brexit fishing row.
“When you spend years negotiating a treaty then a few months later do the opposite . . . it’s not a big sign of your credibility,’’ he whines.
Has the pound shop Napoleon forgotten that is precisely what his EU pals did when they tried to block our vaccine supplies going through Northern Ireland weeks after Brexit?
And why should we be lectured on credibility by a man who first bad-mouthed the British AstraZeneca jab then tried to steal millions of doses from our supplies?
Macron’s hissy-fit over fishing rights is a desperate attempt to shore up his flagging presidential election campaign.
With his lead in the polls wafer-thin, the tin-pot autocrat is terrified of facing his own Waterloo next year.
Even Macron’s former boss and mentor, ex-President Francois Hollande, has turned on him and branded his policies spineless.

COP’s our best hope
NOW is the moment that talking about climate change has to turn into united action.
COP26 has got off to a shaky start, not least because the leaders of huge polluters China and Russia have snubbed it.
But it still represents the best chance we have for the future of our planet.
For that to happen, all world leaders must agree on the massive efforts needed.
