#TheSchumanShow Join our favourite EU spokesperson, Margaritis Funkyboogaloo-Smythe, as he brings you another edition of the Midday Briefing! The Schuman Show always brings you a quick rundown of what's been going on in politics and how the EU chose to respond.

In this Midday Briefing, the EU spokesperson discusses the most recent things affecting the European Union. Most importantly, and totally not scripted, is Commission President Von der Leyen's encounter with a passenger sickness onboard of an aircraft. Coming back from the G20 summit in Rio, the slayer of dragons flexed her medical training in an excellent PR move. The 1 December 2024 date marks the beginning of the new European Commission mandate, and all of the college nominees were given the green light to begin their work... in the new year. Across the pond, the effects of the November US election results are already being felt. The European Commission congratulates Donald Trump on his election, and awaits his inauguration in January. With that being said, now's the time to look for competent American ambassadors - and a list has been compiled. In other news, Elon Musk continues to .. spew words, the war in Ukraine rages on, and plans for the 2024 Christmas party are being detailed. Watch now!

✨With Paul Dallison.
