I mean, given some of the Health Secretaries we’ve had it must be tempting for Mr Murray to take this sort of response as a massive win.

Best for Britain@bestforbritain.org · 4w agoTen years on from the Brexit referendum, and the promises, predictions, and projections made by the Leave campaign can be accounted for and evaluated. The EU was - wrongly - blamed for many of our domestic problems. Have some myths stood the test of time? Find out here ⬇️
Nigel Farage was MP for Clacton for 734 days, which is just over 5.1% of the time that Türkiye has been an applicant to join the EU. 🐸🇹🇷🇪🇺
Time for the MFA in Ankara to take a leaf out of the USSF’s book. #donttakenoforananswer
Sam Kunti@samindrakunti.bsky.social · last mo.Statement from Belgian FA.
Congratulations to our PM Sir Keir Starmer who today celebrates 2 years in the job, which is 5.1% of the time that Türkiye has been a candidate to join the EU. 🥳🇬🇧🇹🇷🇪🇺 #twogloriousyears
It’s 14,326 days since Türkiye applied to join the EU, which is just over 15% of the time since the US Declared Independence, having had enough of being run by a mad oaf who interfered with inward immigration, trade & the judiciary, & transported “us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses”.
😮
Bernd Hüttemann 🇪🇺@huettemann.eu · last mo.The surprise isn't that many Europeans oppose Turkey's EU membership. It's that so many still don't. Despite years of frozen talks, tensions and negative headlines, a majority in Germany does not say "never". eh bien sûre... France loves Charlemagne #EurSky #TürkiyeEU via @politico.eu #enlargementeu
Hearing that His Excellency has this morning tried to interest Snicko’s Head of Marketing in leading the MFA in Ankara. 🤞
Has Turkey Joined@hasturkeyjoined.bsky.social · last mo.It’s 2026. People are now being kicked-out of the World Cup by a Snickometer. And Türkiye *still* hasn’t joined the EU. 😐

These are the first German World Cup penalty-shootout misses since Uli Stielike’s in Seville in 1982- nearly five years before Türkiye applied to join the EU. 🇩🇪🇹🇷🇪🇺
At least we have @straitofhormuz.bsky.social to keep us informed on things that actually matter *now*, rather than, you know, ancient history 🙄 Pah!
Wouldn’t surprise me. ‘Skynet’ I think they were called? (Or was it Skybet?)
Matt Butcher@mattbutcher.bsky.social · last mo.I was trying to get Microsoft Copilot to do one of those mind maps on this account, but it claimed not to be able to access it, I suspect they’re part of the consortium making the winning bid.
There’s an accordion version of Doris Day’s “Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps” knocking around somewhere. As soon as I find it…
Matt Butcher@mattbutcher.bsky.social · last mo.Are you going to do one of those montages over a song?
Ben Stokes *and* @hasturkeyjoined.bsky.social in the same week! You poor dears!
Regrettably a recent CCT process did not go well & our ten year contract providing daily updates on Türkiye’s candidacy has not been renewed. We’ll pop up now and again *in our own free time* to let you know if anything catches our eye but the daily updates will now cease. Thanks for your support.
The date of Türkiye’s application to join the EU is now closer to the day Alice Cooper was born and the-former Ceylon gained its independence than it is to today. 🇹🇷🇪🇺
