BUBBLEFLASH – Parliament approves the Commission that will govern the old continent for the next five years. A team that will be the most conservative in a long time: almost half of the 27 commissioners, including von der Leyen, are from the centre-right, one is an ultraconservative and one is from the far right. There were 370 votes in favour, far fewer than last July. Not a particularly encouraging sign
