"Have you seen that Express is rebroadcasting one of your Euronews interviews?" @RobHarrison_EU asked me earlier
"What?" I replied
And so they are... here I am saying there is "fear in Brussels at the moment" in a clip on the Daily Express site

The story is titled "Brussels chaos: UK tells EU it's all set for WTO rules as Australia deal gives huge boost" and is dated yesterday, Saturday 24 April
I have never even spoken to Euronews about the EU-Australia trade deal

I have also looked at the code - the clip is not an embed of video from somewhere else. The file is hosted by The Express
Perhaps one for @euronews to follow up there...

So what *is* the clip they are using?
It's an interview I did with @jackeparrock on
8th February
It's almost 10 weeks old!

I cannot find the original video on the Euronews website, but the exact same words I speak in the clip the Daily Express uses are written up in this article by Euronews https://www.euronews.com/2021/02/07/juncker-calls-for-eu-austerity-rethink-as-maastricht-treaty-turns-29
So a 10 week old clip, about a completely different topic, is used in a Daily Express story, and the key words they choose are "at the moment"
I'm loathe to use the term normally, but there's only one way to describe this: fake news
