The best Europe newsletters

Essays by a writer examining European policy through economics and innovation, covering EU environmental rules, energy decisions like the Dutch Groningen gas wells, and AI safety incidents. Readers get sharp, opinionated arguments that draw on specific data and historical detail.

A reader-funded investigative newsletter by Heidi Siegmund Cuda that exposes disinformation campaigns, foreign influence operations and billionaire-linked corruption, with recent issues on Russian interference in France. It also promotes paid memberships, community events and ebooks.

The Signal is a current affairs newsletter with daily briefings on international politics, Europe, North America and Turkey, plus long-form features, book and music picks. Readers get a curated digest of world news and a few in-depth analytical pieces, with much of the substance behind a membership paywall.

Melanie Phillips, a British journalist, writes opinion columns, often expanded versions of her Times pieces, on politics, Western civilisation, Islamism, Israel and Brexit. Readers get a strongly conservative, civilisation-focused interpretation of current events.

A twice-weekly political and cultural commentary blog by James Howard Kunstler, with an occasional interview podcast. It offers a polemical, populist-right take on geopolitics, Europe, US politics and societal decline.

Future of Jewish is a newsletter on Judaism and Israel, with recent issues focused on European protests and the politics around them. The excerpts are short, opinionated headlines and blurbs that mostly promote the newsletter's mission and invite support rather than offering developed analysis.

The newsletter offers short geopolitical briefings on current conflicts and tensions, including US-Ukraine relations, Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, and the Ethiopia-Eritrea dispute. The sample shows only headlines, so the depth of its analysis cannot be verified.
