SUMMARY:A perfect storm of crises: what's to be done? Oxford for Europe
DESCRIPTION:Once again we are very pleased to be able to introduce two distinguished guests who can speak with exceptional authority on their subjects. \nJust now we are facing perhaps more uncertainty than at any time in living memory. The harms done to the UK’s economy and reputation by Brexit have been compounded by the pandemic\, Ukraine and the cost of living crisis. At the same time the country is suffering an almost unique absence of competent leadership and a collapse of trust in government. Remorse over the Northern Ireland Protocol is raising the threat of political instability and trade war with our nearest neighbours. \nWho better to speak on these thorny subjects than one of the authors of the Good Friday Agreement and one of the country’s foremost economists? \n\n\nBook your place here\n\nYou can take part free of charge. However we welcome voluntary donations\, which help fund our activities. If you wish to donate\, please click here: \n\nDonate\n\n\n\nRead more here

SUMMARY:Does the UK human rights regime require reform? IfG
DESCRIPTION:The protection of people’s rights and liberties is a key part of the UK’s constitution\, dating all the way back to the twelfth century. In recent years\, and with the Covid pandemic seeing unprecedented restrictions on people’s everyday lives\, the debate about what rights should be protected – and how – has been reignited. \nThe government has shelved a new British Bill of Rights\, but politicians of all parties disagree over whether the UK should continue to be part of the European Convention on Human Rights. \nSo does the government need to reform how people’s rights are protected in the UK? What questions have been raised about the right to protest after the focus on how the public could show dissent during King Charles III’s accession? And what role should international institutions play in upholding human rights? \nPanellists: \n\nEstelle Dehon KC\, Public Law Barrister at Cornerstone Barristers\nRajiv Shah\, former Number 10 Special Adviser\nProfessor Colm O’Cinneide\, Professor of Human Rights Law at UCL\n\nThe event will be chaired by Raphael Hogarth\, Associate at the Institute for Government and barrister at 11KBW \nRegister: https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/events/uk-human-rights-regime?utm_source=tuesday_weekly_newsletter&utm_medium=Oct_25_2022_event_newsletter_left&utm_campaign=Oct_25_2022_event_newsletter&inf_contact_key=cae0d02e5cbe10819db317908cfa356009c74070ac2bf3cfa7869e3cfd4ff832 \nevent will be chaired by Raphael Hogarth\, Associate at the Institute for Government and barrister at 11KBW \n  \n#IfGhumanrights \nWe would like to thank Cornerstone Barristers for kindly supporting this event.  \n

SUMMARY:Scotland's constitutional future
DESCRIPTION:Scotland’s place in the union hangs in the balance. The Supreme Court is set to decide whether Nicola Sturgeon can hold her proposed 2023 independence referendum. If the verdict goes against the SNP\, then Sturgeon’s Plan B is to place independence at the heart of the next general election campaign. The UK government is determined to prevent a rerun of the 2014 vote\, while Labour is developing plans for further devolution and wider constitutional reform. Opinion polls reveal a nation split down the middle on independence. \nSo what will the Supreme Court’s verdict mean? Where does the debate on independence go next? And what alternative constitutional scenarios could unfold in Scotland’s future? \nOn the day after the Supreme Court hearing\, the Institute for Government will be hosting an event to discuss the court case\, the legal and constitutional principles at stake\, and explore how Scotland can move towards a stable future – inside or outside the union. \nOn our expert panel are: \n\nProfessor Aileen McHarg\, Professor of Public Law and Human Rights at Durham Law School\nRt Hon Jim Murphy\, former Secretary of State for Scotland and former Leader of the Scottish Labour Party\nStephen Noon\, former Senior Policy Adviser to the First Minister of Scotland and strategist for Yes Scotland in the 2014 independence referendum\nProfessor Adam Tomkins\, John Millar Chair of Public Law at the University of Glasgow and former Scottish Conservative MSP\n\nThe event will be chaired by Akash Paun\, Senior Fellow of the Institute for Government. \nThe event will be available to watch online only. You can submit questions for the panel via Slido. \n#IfGScotland \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Neil Kinnock: Wales\, Europe and the Future
DESCRIPTION:At Wales For Europe\, we want to ensure that Brexit does not mean that Wales is closed off from our European neighbours\, showing that we have much more in common in a world in which old attitudes towards state isolation are rendered obsolete. \nIncreasing globalisation is an inevitability of the future\, with multiculturalism and pluralism becoming ever more important to economic growth and societal harmony. Our nation is one which has always opened its arms to newcomers\, providing a nation of sanctuary to refugees and embracing difference. We need to act in the interests of current and future generations\, making sure that the best opportunities are available for success in a common world. \nOur event is designed to build on this conversation that began before the pandemic and will continue to be ever more relevant in the future. \nPurchase your ticket for this event on Eventbrite here! \nThank you very much for taking the time to read this special edition of Brexit Watch! We are very keen to hear from European Movement UK’s members. If you have any comments or questions about getting involved with Wales for Europe’s future activities\, including stalls and events\, please get in touch by contacting hello@walesforeurope.org and heading your email with ‘Brexit Watch 6 August.’ \n

SUMMARY:Trussonomics\, tax-cuts and turmoil
DESCRIPTION:The last few days have seen a radical reshaping of the Government’s economic policy and a radical reaction from financial markets. Out have gone both Treasury orthodoxy and the legacy of the Johnson premiership\, and in are lower taxes\, higher borrowing – and even higher borrowing costs as spooked markets respond. \nWill this new strategy boost growth in the short- and medium-term? What does market turmoil mean for the Bank of England and Treasury – which has a deadline of 23rd November to explain how the public finances will be set on an sustainable footing? Are more tax cuts to come\, or are spending cuts more likely? \nThe Resolution Foundation is hosting an event to debate and discuss these questions. Following a presentation of the Foundation’s analysis\, we will hear from leading experts on what might happen next amid a new era for economic policy making. \nThe event will be open for people to physically attend\, alongside being broadcast via YouTube and the Resolution Foundation website. Viewers will be able to submit questions to the panel before and during the event via Slido.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time\nThursday 29 September 2022\n10:30 – 11:45am\nRegister to receive access link.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\nStephanie Flanders\nSenior Executive Editor at Bloomberg and Head of Bloomberg Economics \nRobert Colvile\nDirector of the Centre for Policy Studies \nTorsten Bell (Chair)\nChief Executive of the Resolution Foundation

SUMMARY:Future of the UK
DESCRIPTION:A reminder that the Centre on Constitutional Change at the University of Edinburgh\, in association with the Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation\, is hosting a lecture by Sir Malcolm Rifkind tomorrow. \nThe devolution debate \nThis lecture will explore the history and future of devolution in the United Kingdom and look at the constitutional position of and arrangements for Scotland in the light of current debates about the Union\, independence and federalism. \nSir Malcolm will argue that\, whilst the continuing unity of the UK is ‘crucial to the well-being not just of ourselves\, but of Europe as a whole’\, devolution for the four nations ‘needs to be modernised and reformed’ in a process that would ‘not just be affect Edinburgh and Cardiff\, but include Westminster and its Upper House’. \nThe lecture will be followed by a drinks reception. \nJoin us! Register on Eventbrite. \nWe hope to see you there! \nCentre on Constitutional Change

SUMMARY:What happens now? The new Tory PM...and the UK
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, the United Kingdom will have its fourth Prime Minister in eight years. New leaders traditionally enjoy a ‘honeymoon period’. But the new PM will instead face a bleak economic crisis of soaring energy bills\, rapidly shrinking pay packets and industrial strife. And with the next election only two years away\, the new Prime Minister has little time to tackle the current crisis\, boost the economy\, reform public services and deliver on promises made at the last election – from levelling up the country to getting Brexit done. \nWhat are the immediate political and economic challenges confronting the new Prime Minister?

SUMMARY:Bleak midwinter? Resolution Foundation debate
DESCRIPTION:Britain is in the midst of a painful cost-of-living squeeze\, with double digit inflation prompting the biggest fall in real wages since the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. And the crisis will get far worse in the coming months as inflation continues to rise\, energy bills soar\, and rising interest rates are felt in higher mortgage payments. However\, the sheer scale\, duration and distribution of this income squeeze are far from certain\, and will depend in part on how policy makers respond. This will be the number one task facing the new Prime Minister. \nHow tight will the income squeeze get this winter\, and who will be most affected? How should the new Prime Minister approach tackling this crisis? What mix of tax and benefit policies\, or market interventions\, might be needed? And what might the Government’s approach mean for the policy makers at the Bank of England? \nThe Resolution Foundation is hosting an event to debate and discuss these questions. Following a presentation of key highlights from our latest Living Standards Outlook\, we will hear from leading experts on how the new Prime Minister might approach tackling the country’s deepening cost-of-living crisis. \nThe event will be open for people to physically attend\, alongside being broadcast via YouTube and the Resolution Foundation website. Viewers will be able to submit questions to the panel before and during the event via Slido.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate and Time\nThursday 1 September 2022\n9:30 – 10:45am\nRegister to receive access link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\nRobert Shrimsley\nChief Political Commentator at the Financial Times \nClare Moriarty\nChief Executive of Citizens Advice \nLalitha Try\nResearcher at the Resolution Foundation \nTorsten Bell (Chair)\nChief Executive of the Resolution Foundation

SUMMARY:Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the European Union’s Response: What’s Next? (European Movement International)
DESCRIPTION:The European Movement International\, together with the European Movement Lithuania\, are bringing together policy-makers\, diplomats and experts for an online panel discussion on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the European Union’s response. \nRussia’s brutal and unjustified invasion of Ukraine has fundamentally altered the security landscape in Europe.

But as the war drags on\, the EU needs to reconsider its strategic response. Furthermore\, the EU has granted Ukraine candidate status\, setting it on the path towards EU membership. \n  \nMore details and registration here.

SUMMARY:The future of Russia (Aspen Institute)
DESCRIPTION:When Russia’s President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in February 2022\, he plunged his country and his citizens into an ongoing period of economic decline and global isolation. He also exposed himself and his government to increased political instability. On day one of the war\, he ramped up Russia’s propaganda machine and began conducting country-wide crackdowns on signs of protest and dissent. The government has imposed travel restrictions on its citizens\, as nearly 4 million Russians were reported to have left the country by early May 2022. \nMany of those who have left belong to the generation of outward-looking entrepreneurs and creatives who have lived\, worked\, or studied outside of Russia in the past – the same people who were driving Russia’s economic and cultural sectors until a few months ago. This is the group that has been marginalised most by Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine\, and is most likely to support the anti-war movement. \nIs Russia facing a ‘brain-drain’? What does this mean for the country’s dwindling economy\, and for the anti-war movement? What impact have Western and global sanctions had on Russia’s economy and society\, have they gone far enough\, and are the right people feeling the strain? And will Russia ever be able to repair its relations with the rest of the world? \nThese questions will be discussed at an online event hosted by the Aspen Institute. More details here. \n

SUMMARY:Will Scottish Independence spell the end of Brexit? (Yes for EU)
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Anthony Barnett\, co-founder of Europe for Scotland and Open Democracy; organised by Yes for EU. \n\n\n\n\n\nAnthony will explain the process which led to the creation of Europe for Scotland and present the goals of its Ambassador groups across many EU countries. He will argue that campaigning for Scottish Independence and EU membership\, as well as being a democratic imperative\, is the chance that the rest of the UK needs to reverse the Brexit process and redress the many harms it has caused. He will suggest that those in the UK who support democracy and want to rejoin the EU in their lifetime should get behind Scotland’s wish to become an Independent state and take its rightful place back within the EU family of nations. \nThis event will be of interest to all those who want to rejoin the EU\, whether they reside in England\, Wales or Scotland. \nThe talk will be followed by a Q&A. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Democracy Loves Strong & Stable Government (Make Votes Matter)
DESCRIPTION:Webinar organised by Make Votes Matter\, featuring an international panel of electoral reform experts and politicians from around the world. \n  \nCan Proportional Representation deliver ‘Strong & Stable Government’? The evidence shows that yes\, it can! \nLegislatures elected under proportional systems have been shown to produce better\, and more stable governments. Proportional Representation: \n\nPuts an end to the ‘yo-yo politics’ of First Past the Post.\nLeads to more stable decision-making\, and governments backtrack less.\nCreates a greater diversity of opinion\, and creativity of thought.\n\nAs a result\, governments elected under PR come up with better solutions to a range of problems. From income inequality to climate change\, countries with PR deliver better answers to the existential questions of the day. \n  \nMore details here.
