SUMMARY:Enlightened economics
DESCRIPTION:Lessons from Adam Smith on the economic challenges facing modern Britain\n\n\n\n\nJesse Norman MP in conversation with Amanda Rowlatt\nRegister to attend in person or to receive an access link for online viewers. \nAdam Smith was a leading political economy thinker of the Scottish enlightenment in the mid-late 18th century. But as the “Father of Capitalism” his pioneering work on free market economics has influenced politicians\, philosophers and economists throughout the 19th\, 20th and 21st centuries too. \nBut modern Britain – as well as other advanced economies – is struggling with economic stagnation. Many people are questioning the central tenants of capitalism that Smith championed – from free trade and globalisation to regulation and the role of the state – and whether they can deliver the living standards growth that people need. What lessons can we learn from Adam Smith on the economic challenges facing Britain today? \nTo mark the 300th anniversary of the birth of Adam Smith\, the Resolution Foundation is co-hosting an event with the Society of Professional Economists to discuss what his work can teach us about the economic challenges of Britain today. We will be joined by one of the leading experts on Adam Smith\, Minister and author Jesse Norman MP. \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\nEvent Signup\n

SUMMARY:Fife4Europe: Scotland's future relationship with Europe
DESCRIPTION: Fife4Europe will be joined by North East Fife MP\, Wendy Chamberlain at their monthly meeting.  Wendy will give an update on her work over the last year and her thoughts on Scotland’s future relationship with Europe.\n\n\nSo far the topics for discussion are: \n\nErasmus+ (NI and Wales have got there\, why not Scotland?)\nEU and non EU Nationals workers’ visas – the difficulties faced in Fife without enough workers for agriculture\, care and hospitality sectors\nHorizon – continued delay is so damaging to UK research sector\nThe next Lib Dem Government will have to work with our closest neighbours to rebuild our economy and fight the climate crisis.

Or go as far as trying to re-join the single market?\n\n\nWe will be meeting in person at the office of Fife Voluntary Action in Glenrothes: Saltire Centre\, Caledonia House\, Pentland Park\, Glenrothes KY6 2AL.\n\nA recording will be made available here.

SUMMARY:Scotland wants to rejoin the EU: what's the best route?
DESCRIPTION:Scotland would rejoin the EU tomorrow if asked – but how? \nAs many as 60% of UK voters now back rejoining the EU as the daily evidence of the damage brought by Brexit mounts. Scotland would vote around 3-1 to rejoin. So\, what’s the best way forward for pro-Europeans in Scotland: rejoin as part of the UK or as an independent EU member state? There are plenty of arguments about the merits and disadvantages of both approaches. \nJoin us on August 8 at 1800 for a conversation on the issues involved between two leading pro-EU political figures in Scotland – Eddie Barnes and Stephen Gethins. Their online discussion\, bound to be riveting\, will set the tone for the start of a new political season and will be chaired by David Gow\, ex-Guardian journalist who leads the RSE’s Scotland-Europe Initiative. \nEddie Barnes is the campaign director of Our Scottish Future\, the group/think tank set up by Gordon Brown. He is a former political editor at the Scotsman and was a senior aide and speechwriter to Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson. He has also advised UK prime ministers on the reform of the UK state. \nStephen Gethins is Professor of Practice in International Relations at St Andrews University and an EMiS executive member. He is the former SNP MP for North-East Fife and spokesperson on Europe and International Affairs\, sitting on the Commons foreign affairs select committee. \nAttendance is free for anyone\, but please register to receive the link.

SUMMARY:Ukrainian refugees' future in the UK: Aspen Institute
DESCRIPTION:The UK’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine saw over 200\,000 visas being issued and more than 150\,000 Ukrainians arriving in the UK. Yet\, as we enter the second year of the humanitarian refugee schemes supporting Ukrainians\, and with no imminent end to the conflict in Ukraine\, the future of the Ukrainian refugees in Britain is increasingly uncertain. \nAspen UK\, in collaboration with Opora\, are hosting this timely discussion on the future of Ukrainian refugees as we approach the end of the three-year visa period. We will be bringing together policymakers\, community advocates\, and people with lived experience for a discussion about this complex problem. What options will be available to Ukrainians once their visas expire?  And\, how can Ukrainian refugees navigate and reconcile the uncertainties regarding their eventual return or long-term settlement? \n\nPanel to be announced soon! \nDoors open at 18:00 with the panel discussion starting at 18:30 and a reception from 20:30 onwards. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:UK trade trajectory post-Brexit: Resolution Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Brexit was a seismic break for the UK\, not least in bringing to a close a decades long trade strategy focused on integration with European markets. Since then the Government has successfully rushed to sign as many trade agreements as possible\, but these largely roll over arrangements inherited from EU membership\, with little prospect of further significant trading ties. It is far from clear what comes next — what a lasting post-Brexit trade strategy for the UK might be that recognises both our economy’s strengths\, and the wider global trade landscape where geopolitics is playing an increasing role. \nWhat are the priorities for the UK’s trade strategy now that the heat of Brexit negotiations have cooled\, but global trade tensions are heating up? How should that strategy be integrated into a wider economic strategy for Britain? Which balance should be struck between a European or global focus? And can Britain protect manufacturing industries such as automotives\, which are highly integrated into European supply chains\, while ensuring the opportunities from faster growing service trade are seized? \nThe Resolution Foundation is hosting an in-person and interactive hybrid event – as part of The Economy 2030 Inquiry\, funded by the Nuffield Foundation – to debate and answer these questions. Following a presentation of highlights from major new research assessing what the UK’s new trade strategy should focus on\, we will hear from leading experts on the trade-offs involved in taking a new direction on trade. \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 15 June 2023\n10:15 – 11:45am \nRegister to receive access link.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\nAlan Beattie\nSenior Trade Writer at the Financial Times\nSally Jones\nTrade Strategy & Brexit Leader at EY UK\nAnand Menon\nDirector of UK in a Changing Europe\nSophie Hale\nPrincipal Economist at the Resolution Foundation\nTorsten Bell\nChief Executive of the Resolution Foundation (Chair)

SUMMARY:How do you achieve safe passage? Aspen Institute
DESCRIPTION:Both the government and the refugee advocacy sector are calling for more safe routes for people seeking asylum to enter the UK. But tens of thousands of refugees continue to arrive by unsafe means every year because they are unable to access safe passage. The current UK refugee and asylum system affords different rights and services to refugees’ and asylum seekers’ depending on how they arrive in the country. The Illegal Migration Bill currently being debated in Parliament aims to make it impossible to claim asylum in the UK if you enter the country via irregular means. \nFor the next conversation in our series ‘Voices from a broken system: Rethinking refugee integration in the UK’\, we will focus on how to ensure safe passage for refugees from different countries looking to find sanctuary in the UK. How  can we create more safe routes that are fairer\, based on refugees’ needs for protection\, and improve long-term integration outcomes? And\, how can we be confident those who come here are in need of protection? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerated by:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMartine Dennis – Senior international News Anchor and Journalist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the panel:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLord David Blunkett – Member of the House of Lords and former Labour Home Secretary\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Goodhart – Head of Demography\, Immigration\, and Integration Unit at Policy Exchange\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnver Solomon – Chief Executive Officer of Refugee Council\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJacqueline Broadhead – Director of the Global Exchange on Migration and Diversity\, University of Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now
