This morning I spoke with Chancellor Merz to discuss the hybrid attack at Leipzig airport. I assured him that the EU stands in full solidarity with Germany in the face of this attack by Russia.

In 2019, millions marched in cities around the world. Today, its quieter. But the majority is still here. Let’s make it visible again. Stockholm just hosted the world’s largest climate demonstration of 2026. It showed what is possible. Learn how theloudmajority.wedonthavetime.org #TheLoudMajority

After years of service to our country and our party, I can completely understand why Sir Keir wishes to withdraw from frontline politics. I know he'll continue to tirelessly pursue the issues he cares deeply about, and I wish he and his family every happiness.

Exclusive: Sir Keir Starmer to step down as MP for Holborn and St Pancras

🇪🇺 #Iceland’s vote against reopening EU accession talks is a warning Europe should take seriously. The EU’s power of attraction remains strong and undiminished, but it can never be taken for granted.

Iceland has voted against restarting talks to join the EU. The result was close: 52.8% voted no and 47.2% voted yes. Many voters were worried about fishing rights and national control. What would the EU need to change before Icelanders reconsider?

We need the #USMilitaryOutOfShannon. We have to stop the complicity in the terrorism being perpetrated around the world by the US. The Irish government wants to ignore our complicity and abandon our neutrality. They want to tie ourselves even closer the US & NATO by scrapping the triple lock.

60 years of Notting Hill Carnival. Today, London without Carnival is almost impossible to imagine. What began as a local neighbourhood event has transformed into one of the greatest celebrations anywhere in the world, and a cornerstone of our city's cultural calendar.

My taste in music ranges from classical to techno. These days, Gabber, Schranz and Bochka are my favorites. I discover the fun in the intensity, the speed, and the surprising sense of structure hidden inside what first sounds like chaos.

Europeans' expectations require efficient, united action. Great to continue our annual tradition of welcoming the EU Member States' Permanent Representatives to @europarl.europa.eu to look forward on what we can deliver together. Real work ahead including on competitiveness, trade, and EU budget.

Where is Europe talking?

We mapped the social media activity of over 10,000 public voices across Europe to see which platforms they use as their primary communication channels. The findings highlights our dependency on non-europeans companies.

Explore the data

Real people.

Privacy first.

We believe in the need for a global, trusted social media platform owned, run, and hosted in Europe. W is built on verified human users, transparency, privacy, and free speech.

W Identity

W verifies users through a separate app, W Identity. The decentralised W Identity app ensures full privacy. No personal identity data leaves your device unless you choose to share it

Your data is yours.

You can be verified as a human anonymously, or choose to share your real name. Your identity is yours. Always.

You identify yourself through W Identity, a separate app that scans your passport or national identity card and verifies you directly on your own device. You stay in control of what you share with other apps and services. Your ID data is stored only on your device unless you choose to share specific parts of it.

W gives you two options: appear with your full name or verified as a human anonymously. In both cases, you verify through W Identity, so W can confirm that you are a real, unique person. If you choose to stay anonymous, your full identity stays private, while verified attributes such as age verification and nationality help build trust and reduce fake accounts.

Access to your W Social account is controlled by a secure list of approved devices. If you lose one of these devices, it can be disconnected from your W Social account. Disconnecting a device will prevent it from accessing your account. You can then re-verify on a new device.

Part of something bigger.

W is built on the AT-Protocol, an open standard for global social networking.
