Little slip by the European Parliament President on Twitter tonight, or by whoever writes his Twitter account.

The tweet was online for 10 minutes, and then disappeared. Just before it was erased, it had 130 retweets, and so I thought I’d preserve that. Many seemed to think that this was Schulz’ comment ahead of next weeks European Council, or his follow-up to the meeting of the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament tonight.

We may never know…

Update (40 minutes later):

Previous tweet was clearly an accident – apologise everybody. But I’m glad that it made you laugh 🙂
