As the world shifts and alliances evolve, could a partnership between Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK form a Fourth Global Power? While CANZUK wouldn't rival the US militarily, its collective strength would command the kind of respect that Washington—especially under leaders like Trump—reserves for serious players. With global instability on the rise, the economist Andrew Lilico asks whether it's time to make this alliance official.

In this episode of the IEA Podcast, hosts Tom Clougherty and Matthew Lesh are joined by Andrew Lilico, Executive Director & Principal of Europe Economics, to discuss the recent riots across the UK, monetary policy shifts, and financial market volatility. The conversation begins with an in-depth analysis of the factors behind the riots, exploring whether they reveal deeper issues in British society or if they're simply a result of opportunistic behaviour. The panel debates the role of social media, immigration policies, and the effectiveness of law enforcement in handling such situations. The discussion then shifts to the recent cut in interest rates by the Bank of England and its potential implications. Andrew Lilico, as co-chair of the IEA Shadow Monetary Policy Committee, offers valuable insights into the timing of this decision and whether it may be too little, too late. The podcast delves into the complexities of monetary policy, exploring the differing approaches of central banks and the potential consequences of their actions on inflation and economic growth. Finally, the panel examines the recent volatility in financial markets, discussing the factors behind the brief panic and subsequent rebound. They explore the interconnectedness of global economies, the impact of technological advancements like AI, and the challenges of predicting market crashes. The conversation concludes with a critique of fiscal rules and their effectiveness in managing government spending and debt. We bring you a public affairs podcast with a difference.

Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister after just 44 days in office, making her the shortest-ever holder of the role. The announcement came in the wake of negative market reactions to her radical 'mini budget', scrapping almost of all of her tax cutting policies and subsequent internal party disarray. Much will be said of her premiership, but for now we must ask ourselves, what went wrong? To answer this, IEA Head of Public Policy Matthew Lesh is joined by Andrew Lilico. In addition to being an Economics Fellow at the IEA, Andrew is Executive Director and Principle of Europe Economics and was supportive of Truss' pro-growth agenda.

In the last two federal elections, the Conservatives have advocated pursuing a CANZUK alliance with Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom which would open up trade, movement and enhanced security cooperation between the four like-minded nations. In this edition of The Andrew Lawton Show, Andrew discusses the proposed partnership in-depth with CANZUK International executive director James Skinner, Europe Economics chairman Dr. Andrew Lilico, and Conservative member of parliament and former diplomat Stephanie Kusie.

This week, we're joined by journalist and magician Alan White (@Aljwhite), who is the Editor-in-Chief of Politics Home, and the former Lord Justice of Twitter (according to his bio). We discuss the most important issue of our times: Are Clowns a subset of Magician? It's an important question which tackles the conception of 'audience' that underpins the current culture war in the Magic Circle, between old school, guarded Magicians and their younger TikTok friendly counterparts. Hussein also comes out as a CERF, with his own gatekeeping over what constitutes a Clown in the context of the Now You See Me franchise. Later, we talk about Andrew Lilico, a once moderately respected British economist who is now mainly known for his weird tweets, that range from whether or not you can marry an Alien in a Catholic church, to his fantastical scenario in which two low-level English cricketers are put on trial for calling the Home Secretary a pedophile on Twitter. Lilico is one of the best examples of Poster's Brain we've seen, and Alan tries to explain why this might be reflective of a broader trend of former think-tank people who, having realised nobody reads their reports or cares what they have to say, have simply decided to be posters instead. ----more---- This is a free episode!

This week, Hussein and Phoebe talk about "The Main Character", and how the current social media economy encourages its users to actively seek out being the central character of an ongoing, tedious dramedy with no discernible plot, character arcs or clear narrative. We read Kyle Chayka's "We All Have Main Character Energy Now" to look at how being the "Main Character" has gone from an involuntary social experience which always ends with you logging off forever, to a desirable state of being, complete with its own aesthetic, brand deals and short-term celebrity. We also talk about Andrew Lilico, reading through a post that is so bizarre and incoherent that Hussein's brain breaks live on air.

The 2020s will see the introduction of one of the most profoundly transformative technologies for decades: the driverless car. In the world we have inhabited for the past 60 years, most adults own cars that they drive daily, which they then park in their garages, front yards or on the street, or in car parks when they go to the shops or the train station or the airport. They arrange repairs, they put in fuel and water and oil, they pay car taxes and they buy insurance. Over the next decade, all of this might end, with profound implications for the way we live, but also for public policy across a wide range of areas. Fortunately to discuss but a few of these issues, the IEA's Digital Manager Darren Grimes was joined by Andrew Lilico, Executive Director and Principal of Europe Economics, who, in 2014, was part of a study on the topic.
Dr Andrew Lilico, managing director of Europe Economics, says that the big change, for him, on the UK’s path to Brexit, was Boris Johnson’s new proposal. The election, which gave a minority Conservative government, an 80-seat majority, means that there is now no chance of a no-deal Brexit and that all will be in place to end the transition period on 31 December 2020. Lilico says that there may be a period of agreement based on a WTO type backdrop, but the detail will be ready at the end of the year. On the respective economies, Lilico says that the UK has always been a drag on the European Union and now that the UK has left, the EU will be able to move faster towards greater cohesion to the bloc. On the periphery, he says, there are issues to resolve, but the ‘Macron style proposal, is likely to win through. The UK, on the other hand will see a Brexit bounce and then a period of cost adjustment during the deal making stage, but then the UK should also be in a position to grow faster.

Thomas Colson, political reporter with Business Insider UK, discusses British Prime Minister Theresa May’s political challenges in selling the Brexit deal leading up to the parliamentary vote on December 11. Jonathan Portes, professor of economics at King’s College London, comments on the potential costs of Brexit to the U.K. economy. Andrew Lilico, who was the lead economist for the official Leave referendum campaign, talks about the economic benefits that will be gained for Britain leaving the European single market. Jacopo Barigazzi, reporter with Politico Europe, gives us a view from Brussels on the recent draft Brexit deal negotiated between the U.K. and the European Union, and how this might be affected by the upcoming British parliamentary vote.

As businesses and their employees get to grips with what Brexit might look like for them, Lizzie O Leary presents a special edition of In the Balance in conjunction with American Public Media's Marketplace programme. She hears from economists in the UK and in Ireland, as well as travelling to the North West of England to a part of the country where nearly 60 per cent of people voted to leave the European Union, even though the consequences of Brexit might cost some of their jobs. Lizzie hears from pro-Brexit economist Andrew Lilico, Executive Director and Principal of Europe Economics, Chris Hare, an analyst at Investec, a bank and asset management company in London and Thomas Sampson, an economist at the London School of Economics and she's joined by Tony Foley, from Dublin City University. For a deeper dive into the industries likely to be affected by Brexit, Lizzie talks to: Jeffries Briginshaw CEO, of the British American Business association, Professor David Bailey a car industry expert at Aston University in Birmingham, Gerard Grech the CEO of Tech City UK and in Berlin, Simon Schaefer, CEO and co-founder of Factory.
