Today we're exploring civil society's efforts to shape the food system and land use in the United Kingdom. Our guest today is Sue Pritchard, Chief Executive of the Food, Farming, and Countryside Commission (FFCC). The deeply grassroots work of the commission brings people together to find practical solutions to climate, nature, and health challenges. The goal is to shape fairer and more sustainable food systems and a just transition for rural communities and the countryside. Interview Summary Well, Sue, I am really interested to start off learning a little bit more about you. Can you tell us why are you interested in food and farming and the countryside?    So, I'm talking to you from Wales, from my farm in Wales. I live and work on a small, organic, conservation orientated farm that produces native breed cattle and sheep. It's so authentic. I have a duck in my office with me at the moment. So, if any of your listeners hear any odd sounds, I promise you that's her, not me.  I come from a family in Wales, which either went down the mines or farmed and had small holdings. My father went down the mines, but we always, as a family longed to get back to our deeply felt roots. And it was about 27 years ago that my parents and I, my family, were able to buy our farm here in Wales, which is, I suppose, the culmination of a dream. And although we were not naive about farming, when you're deeply embedded in the everyday life of the farmer and operating in the farming system (the food and farming system) you learn some different things pretty quickly. And so, for a fair few years, I was working out how to make the farm work economically. But also, how the farm could make a really good contribution to tackling the climate crisis and the nature crisis. How we could sequester more carbon on the farm. How we could build more natural infrastructure on the farm to help nature thrive here again. You will recall, the UK had its own political, should we call it a little, a minor apocalypse back in 2016, when the UK voted to exit the European Union. And, the implications of that vote were pretty, pretty, extraordinary for farming and for food systems and the environment. As a result, civil society, business organizations got together and were able to get some philanthropic funding to set up a commission (Food, Farming, and Countryside Commission) to shape a different future for food and farming and the countryside outside of the European Union. And when that job was advertised, it was my dream job, bringing together, as it did, the future of farming, the future of food systems, and being able to impact and influence policy at a really, really critical time. I want to make sure I understand a little bit more about what's happening. Because of Brexit, that means the UK is no longer part of the common agricultural policy and is now needing to reconstruct its agricultural policy structure. It sounds like the commission was brought in to do some of this work. I would like to understand what in particular challenges are facing the food and agriculture scene in the UK post Brexit.  I think that the first thing that we were able to do in the work of the commission was to start talking about food as a system. That was relatively unusual in the UK. One of our leading thinkers, Professor Tim Lang, used to say that the UK's food policy was basically leave it to Tesco, which is one of our big supermarkets. It was essentially left to private markets to determine the kind of food that we had on our plates. It was clear that that strategy was not working anymore. And given the really quite startling system changing implications of that particular vote, we were able to take a different perspective on food systems and start thinking about food as a system. We talked about, as it says on the tin, food and farming and the countryside, but we also talked about food and farming's relationship with climate, with nature, with health and wellbeing, and with equity and justice. In bringing that more, if you like, systemic view into people's consciousnesses, we were able to demonstrate really how central food policy is to UK's economy, health and wellbeing of UK citizens. Perhaps in a way that had not been done with quite the same heft as before. Lots of people have been trying but hadn't quite landed center stage in policy terms. And we were able to show through our work and then our reports, the relationship between food and farming and diet-related ill health. Farming systems and the climate crisis. Farming systems and biodiversity loss and the nature crisis. And also, starting to reveal the inequities, the inequalities embedded in the food system when we start looking not just within our own borders in the UK, but beyond our borders to how the UK trades with the rest of the world. Because countryside is one of the major themes, it's in the title of Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, and I've spent a little time in England and the countryside. And I'm from a rural area and the United States, and I'm interested to understand how you all are thinking about the needs or the challenges, or even the opportunities that the countryside faces in the UK. One of the things that I realized when I started this job back in 2017 was that for many people in London, the countryside is just the gap on the map between the cities. They had very little understanding of the contribution of the rural economy, the importance of the rural economy, particularly the countryside's importance, criticality, even for tackling the climate crisis, tackling the nature crisis. It's there where a lot of the problems occur, but also where a lot of the solutions can be found too. And so, talking about the countryside, not as a kind of poor relation to the rest of the economy, but actually central to a version of the future that was able to be more resilient, more adaptive to whatever kind of scenarios might unfold. That felt like a pretty important thing for us to be doing. And when we were conducting our work in those early days, we did all the usual things that a commission might do. We did a literature review, we held workshops, we held all sorts of kind of formal research processes. But we also set out around the country, around the UK on a bicycle. My researchers set out around the UK on a bicycle. Because we wanted to do something pretty iconic to show the richness, the diversity, the variety, the political salience and the economic salience of the countryside to policy discussions in Westminster. I think one of our successes has been to bring those voices into policy decisions. And to give them much more gravity, I think, in policy considerations that often feel very distant in London. How have they shaped the way you all have done the work at the FFCC? Are they altering or informing the work in different ways? Yes. Absolutely. We work with citizens in a number of different ways. So that first moment, the kind of bicycle tour around the UK was if you like, a symbolic moment of connecting with people in their communities. Going out to where people are, letting them tell us in their terms, what mattered to them, what they cared about, what they were concerned about. But in a really kind of barefoot ethnographic way, I think, being able to hear directly from folk. But we also built long term relationships in three, if you like, sentinel parts of the country: in Devon, in Cambridgeshire, and in Cumbria. Different parts of the UK reflecting different kinds of priorities and different pressures in the countryside. Devon is a grassland community, it's very touristy. Cambridgeshire is one of the bread baskets of the country, but with huge pressures on housing and infrastructure. And Cumbria is the uplands, the high mountainous uplands that people understand as a holiday hotspot. But working in those places in depth over for five years now, we have been able to both test out policy ideas in, in real places, in real time. Our land use framework project is a case in point. In thinking about how we make better decisions about land, we worked with people for whom those decisions are incredibly material. It's about what happens in their communities, what happens around them. We were able to develop policy contributions based on testing different options, different possibilities with people in places. And of course, we were able then to bring forward their ideas, their thoughts, and their really practical activities to the view of government, to the view of policy makers and to businesses. It was a kind of reciprocal relationship, testing out ideas in communities, but also bringing community ideas into government, into policy makers. You know, demonstrating how people are already doing things, already doing really interesting and radical and progressive things, whether or not government is supporting them or not. More recently, we've embarked on a very, very substantial project. It's called the Food Conversation and the Food Conversation is a project that was designed to really test out the answer to the question, so what do people really want from food? I wonder if you have the same experience in the United States, Norbert, but certainly in the UK, we hear over and over and over again, particularly from lobbyists, but often from government, that people don't really care about food. People just want cheap food. They just want convenient food. Nobody wants to be told what to eat. Nobody wants a nanny state. And those kind of toxic narratives, those devices were being used over and over again to limit government's appetite for policy intervention. And after this happened, again about two years ago, after the government commissioned its own national food strategy and then declined to respond in any meaningful way to it, I rather spat the dummy in in leadership terms and decided we were really going to have to test out this narrative, this way of framing food policy change. So, we set out 18 months ago, on the biggest civil society dialogue that the UK has ever seen. We conducted 12 citizens assemblies around the UK asking people directly, so what do we really want from food? In academic terms, it's kind of like a meta review, because what we've done is show citizens the kind of research that's been done over the last 10 or more years. The research has been done by experts in the UK and internationally that show the impacts of the food system on climate, on nature, on our health and wellbeing. And we've asked them what they think about the recommendations that those research reports have made. All of those recommendations that have been kind of discounted by governments because 'no one wants the nanny state.' You have to imagine my air quotes there. And of course, in conducting that conversation, we found really quite quickly that toxic narrative is not true at all. When you reveal to citizens the complexities and the interdependence of the food system with their health, with the state of their high streets, you know, what, what's being sold to them and how. When you explain how that impacts on farmers and growers, primary producers. When you explain how it impacts on communities all around the world, often very vulnerable communities around the world. When you explain how it impacts on the climate and nature, people are pretty, pretty shocked and pretty horrified. And most interestingly, when you show people how the food system has become more commodified, more consolidated in fewer and fewer hands. More financialized by a small number of global agribusinesses who are continuing to make eye watering profits, while, for example, in the UK, our own health service is buckling under the strain of diet related ill health, obesity, heart disease and so on they are furious. They say, why don't we know and why doesn't anybody else do anything about this? And so that piece of work, well, this phase of it is coming to a conclusion. We've got, oh, 500,000 words worth of material generated by citizens contributions. And that culminates in a summit, the Citizens Food Summit in London on the 19th of November when we'll be sharing citizens perspectives. And indeed, business perspectives too, civil society organization perspectives. Because lots of businesses are lining up alongside citizens saying this needs to be different. We need to change this. And we're sharing those insights with policymakers. And the intention is to strengthen their arm in taking a proper systems view of food policy in the UK and starting to act as if food policy really matters. Because it does.  This is impressive work. This idea of listening to citizens and sharing with their government officials their views of the food system. In some ways. It's so basic you would thought this would be going on already. And yet we all know that this doesn't happen frequently. It's an exciting enterprise that you all have engaged. I would be interested to see what happens after the November gathering. Very, very happy to share that with you. The way that we've designed it... you'll be familiar with citizens assemblies. They're usually national interventions. They bring people together from across the country. They happen over a period of weeks. They report and then, and then they finish. We've designed ours somewhat differently. We designed ours in places, so 12 around the country. Brought together citizens in those places, as well as the anchor institutions. Organizations that can actually get on and do stuff without waiting for government or big business to act. And so, we've been both listening to citizens, but we've also been doing a little bit of movement facilitation, if you like. We're helping to build food movements, along with our colleagues who are also doing this work in places around the country. And so already we're seeing citizens taking the opportunity to carry on talking to each other, to set up initiatives in their own community. To connect with the initiatives that already exist that they might not have known about. To talk to local policymakers and local leaders about how they can do things differently. So, it was really important to us to kind of learn from the successes and perhaps some of the failures of previous assemblies and dialogues to say, what needs to happen so that change can happen as a result of this, so that citizens efforts, citizens contributions, very generous contributions of their time and their insight actually make something happen. You know what, I realize that this sounds very similar to the work of food policy councils here in the US. It's a similar sort of structure. But I'm interested, it's something you said earlier on, and I want to draw attention to this issue. I have my own experience that these efforts, lots of different folks come to the table with varying concerns and sometimes conflicting concerns. If you think about the economic gradient where there are people from higher income households and maybe lower income who are experiencing the food system differently. While they share a lot of concerns, there are some big differences. And I'm interested to hear how you all are dealing with that diversity of thought and experience. Yeah. So, the way we selected our participants was through the sortition process. We sent out 120,000 invitations around the UK. We got a very high level of response rate to that. But from that number, we selected populations that really reflected their communities. And in some communities, we waited for the seldom heard voices. We wanted to make sure that we really pulled in those people who are less likely to be asked or invited or included in these sorts of initiatives. We built that, if you like, reflection of community in each of the assemblies around the country. We invested in quite a bit of context setting at the start. Helping people get to know each other, connect with each other, understand each other a bit, their own experiences and perspectives on the food system. And then getting people on the same page in terms of, you know, the context of food. What we found, and in fact the professional organizations, specialist organizations that have worked with us on this project have been really startled by it. The consistency of perspective across political backgrounds, educational backgrounds, socioeconomic backgrounds, protected characteristics, race, class, gender. The consistency of response to food systems issues is the highest that our professional advisors have ever seen. And, and that's, that's been really, really fascinating to me. I think it is because, and this goes back to the reason why we wanted to do this work in the first place, very often we end up talking about big, abstracted issues. Even climate and nature can feel big and abstracted. And the political economy of food, very abstracted. When you come back to it, we all have a stake in food. We all have skin in that game. If you frame the conversation in the right way, everybody can participate. And like many things in life, actually, we all want the same things. We want a safe, secure, healthy life. We want to be able to live in a safe, secure, healthy environment for ourselves and for our families, our children, our loved ones. And of course, food is the very thing that connects us. You know, food is at the heart of our celebrations. You know, how we choose to be together when we gather in communities. And we do that so often over food. It's one of the very, very, very few things that connects us and we have a shared experience. So, whether or not you're poor or rich, you will celebrate with food. Whether you're poor or rich, you will want to nourish your children in the best way you possibly can. There are so many things that connect us. Interestingly, and this was a kind of side benefit of this work, in a country which, I think, like yours, can feel incredibly polarized and at risk to populist politics that seeks to divide us over and over again. The conversations around food and food policy and how we might want food to be different in our communities, really united people. And it really showed people as being more thoughtful, more respectful, more insightful, more considered than very often we are led to believe right across the political divides. There's something very kind of visceral and you know heart centered about food that does help people connect. Getting quickly then into the technical stuff. How do we make decisions about policies? We said to people here are all the policy ideas. There are hundreds. There are hundreds of policy ideas. We can group them together in categories, health, nature, farming, and so on. And we invited people to categorize them using a really simple taxonomy. Should government's business just do it? This is obvious, just do this thing. Should they test it? It needs a bit more research. We need to test this out a little bit more, in more detail. Or should we debate it? Is this actually quite complicated, indeed contested? And we need a better process to making some choices around this. People were able to look through those policy choices with some real thought and insight. And there's remarkable consistency between people about things that we just ought to get on and do. Things like formulating children's foods in schools. That there ought to be some really clear guidelines about the quality of food that's available for children in preschool and school. That doesn't exist at the moment. People don't understand why on earth that doesn't happen. For some big issues, like should we introduce universal basic income for farmers to make sure they have a level of income that doesn't make them vulnerable to, you know, price gouging by companies? People said, oh, that's quite complicated. We'd have to work out what that would look like, what impacts that would have on the rest of society. But it's an idea worth exploring further. So they explored everything from really, really basic stuff through to big economic issues that could be really quite transformative in a country like ours.

Talking Europe hosts Pascal Lamy, co-ordinator of the Jacques Delors institutes, and a distinguished former head of the World Trade Organization and former EU Trade Commissioner. We discuss great power competition in today's world; the EU's influence when it comes to global trade and regulation; the critical importance of Africa to Europe; and climate adaptation in the light of Lamy's role as a member of the Climate Overshoot Commission. On Brexit, an issue on which Lamy has been a prolific commentator, his advice to the British Labour party is: "keep the idea that you have divorced, for political reasons, but keep sleeping together with Europe, because that's the way to address the economic problem."

Joff Wild on Founding IAM for Chief IP Officers & EU Commission's anti-SEP Crusade “It became obvious to me that IP was a lot more than laws and court decisions and regulations.  IP was becoming a fundamental business asset, one that people could use to generate profits, build partnerships, go out into the markets, and raise cash.  But no one was writing about that there was no coverage of that. So that said to me, there was an opportunity to create something new.” IAM's founding editor Joff Wild joins Eli from ‘across the pond' to talk about starting a media company to cover the business of intellectual property (IP), the barrage of recent news about the European Commission's misguided standard essential patents (SEPs) proposals, and much more: Joff's journey from tabloids to IP Editing Managing Intellectual Property (MIP) How legacy IP media failed to appreciate/cover IP as a fundamental business asset Founding IAM in 2003 Willing Chief IP Officers into existence with Rob Sterne (of Sterne Kessler) and Ron Laurie “If you create, they will come” – creating the idea of Chief of IP Officers What Chief IP Officers care about: danger & opportunity Strength & weakness of Chief IP Officers Why forward-thinking companies were willing to tell IAM their IP secrets Importance of sharing information for growing IP ecosystem How partnering with Ocean Tomo to host Europe's first patent auction led to IAM's event business Concerns about conflicts with IAM's event business How patents are a clear force for good Why so many new patent-related ventures, business models have failed Difficulty of leveraging IP value Lessons from Nokia & Ericsson about importance of investing in patents over a long period of time EU Commission's power & failure to take patent policy seriously How EU Commission's evidence-free SEP proposals risk destroying EU's global leadership on SEP/FRAND issues Extensive lobbying that led to the SEP proposals Will the EU Commission's SEP proposals become law?

Britain has clinched a deal to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and become the trade bloc's first new member since its inauguration in 2018. It's a win for the UK, which had been looking to bolster global trade ties since leaving the European Union. Plus, with the US expected to announce guidance for tax breaks on new electric cars, we take a closer look at the conditions set under the Inflation Reduction Act.  

Brexit has made the headlines of the European and British press for years. However, today, the relationship between the UK and the EU is less of a central topic in public debates. Nevertheless, many European citizens' lives have been heavily affected by Brexit. This is mostly due to the lengthy and intricate process for obtaining the UK settlement status. In particular, anecdotal evidence appears to highlight that European citizens of colour are suffering the most from the consequences of Brexit. In October this year, in the UK, a non-profit organisation under the name of “Black Europeans” was established. Black Europeans' mission is to challenge systemic racism in the post-Brexit migration policies. And to create a safe environment by breaking down barriers for black Europeans to thrive. On this podcast, host Alexander Damiano Ricci talks to Dahaba Ali Hussen and Angelo Boccato - respectively Dutch and Italian freelance journalists in the United Kingdom -, to dissect the impact of Brexit of European citizens of colour.

In this week's Brexit ‘Deep Dive' special, Chris is joined by economist Julian Jessop; political commentator Marina Purkiss; and political commentator Lee Harris to debate the impact leaving the EU has had, on the six-year anniversary of the referendum.The conversation begins with guests discussing the upsides that we have achieved and how Brexit is making our everyday lives better. Beginning with the example of the vaccination programme, and debating how the UK was able to move faster than other European countries, thanks to being independent of the EU.Guests delve into the state of the post-Brexit UK economy, and the forecasts for 2023, debating whether there is evidence that Brexit is responsible for pushing up the rate of inflation. They chew over the problems the country has faced since the vote to leave, and question the correlation between this and the economy. They also discuss current labour shortages, travel chaos, trade deals, and supply chain issues, questioning whether this is a result of leaving the EU or in fact, a current global problem, and how much COVID-19 has played a role in these problems. Finally, they reflect on the overall position the country is in 6 years after the referendum, and look into the future at what further opportunities or consequences Brexit presents.Created & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at: www.wrightonthenail.fm

Announced on Sept. 15 2021, AUKUS is a trilateral security pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which involves the US and UK sharing nuclear propulsion technology with Australia. As Michael Safi of The Guardian notes, “When Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and Scott Morrison announced a new deal that would provide Australia with the technology to run silent nuclear submarines as part of its navy, one phrase kept coming up: ‘stability in the Indo-Pacific.' The word the leaders of the UK, the US and Australia did not use may be more important: China.”While numerous pundits and high-ranking national officials have tried to downplay AUKUS as just another defense procurement deal, it is clear that this move will sharpen the United States's new Cold War with China, which the Biden administration is waging with equal if not greater zeal than the Trump administration. How does AUKUS figure into the US's larger plan for “strategic competition” with China? What does this security pact reveal about the geopolitical realignment between the US, post-Brexit UK, and continental Europe? In this interview, TRNN contributor Radhika Desai delves into these critical questions with scholar and anti-war activist Kate Hudson. Hudson is the general secretary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), media officer of Left Unity in the UK, and she has been an officer of the Stop the War Coalition since 2002. She was also the head of Social and Policy Studies at London South Bank University from 2003-2010 and is now a visiting research fellow.Read the transcript of this interview: https://therealnews.com/aukus-and-the-wests-dangerous-war-games-with-chinaPre-Production: Paul GrahamStudio/Post Production: Adam Coley, Dwayne GladdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

While the second quarter of 2021 saw a continuation of many of the first quarter trends; strong global GDP growth, slowing contagion rates and ongoing vaccination roll outs, we are finally seeing a rise in inflationary pressure. The extent of this inflation, and impact on businesses, stocks and bonds, still remains to be seen, but will likely depend on supply-side dynamics and ongoing policy decisions. Portfolio performance has continued its strong run from the last quarter, owing to some surprise overperformers, and businesses recovering more of their pre-pandemic returns. Despite the anomalies of the current market landscape we are optimistic about the coming months, given the likely continued release of demand, and the potential opportunities that a post-Brexit UK could present.

In this episode of Policy Matters, hosts Franz Buscha and Matt Dickson talk to Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government. Gemma was previously the economics correspondent at the Financial Times and also worked for many years as an academic economist and so has broad experience of economists' work from a variety of angles. Firstly, Gemma discusses the work of the Institute, and how the demands that Brexit has placed on the government has hindered domestic policymaking. Given her experience as both a researcher and economic journalist, Franz and Matt go on to discuss with Gemma how economics is reported in the media, the difficulty of explaining the complexities of the economy in ‘public-friendly' ways and what economists can learn in this area from other sciences. The discussion then turns to thinking about how economists interact with policymakers and how this has evolved over time, before Gemma talks about the policies that she would like to see considered in public and policy debate, whoever is developing the domestic policy agenda in the post-Brexit UK.

The world needs "Global Britain" more than ever the Prime Minister will declare today. But what does that phrase Global Britain mean? That is the question which is meant to be answered by what is being billed as the biggest review of foreign defence and security policy for a generation. The first since the UK abandoned its foreign policy of the past half a century by leaving the EU. The review identifies the threats Britain may face - global terrorism, Russia and China and a response - a smaller army, more defence spending on cyber, space, nuclear warheads and the formation of new alliances.

In the last decade for many Eastern European Roma, the UK has become a safe place. Fleeing from discrimination, segregation, extreme poverty and racism, many Romani families have saught a better life there, around two hundred and thousand people to be precise.After Brexit, they have become at risk of losing their right of residence. Some members of the community lack the documentation and digital skills necessary to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme known as the EUSS. The application can ONLY be done online. Sounds easy right? Not at all. For many Romani migrants this is simply impossible without extra help. Meanwhile the pandemic rages in the UK and the clock is ticking with only a few months left until the deadline JUNE 30, 2021.In this episode of the Romani Tea Room representatives of Luton Roma Trust, local NGO in the UK will tell us why thousands of Romani migrants loose asylums in post-Brexit UK.In the second part, we will discuss if Britain is a safe place for Roma or not.

I dette afsnit taler vært Martin Ågerup med Mark Littlewood, som er generaldirektør for den britiske frimarkedstænketank Institute of Economic Affairs. For det første forklarer Littlewood, at sit syn på EU har ændret sig over tid fra at være EU-forkæmper til EU-modstander. Ifølge Littlewood, er EU blevet for centraliseret og regulerende. Derudover har EU ikke haft succes med at åbne sit marked til lande udenfor EU. For det andet mener Littlewood, at EU med Storbritanniens exit har mistet et klassisk liberal medlem, men han mener også, at Storbritannien kunne fungere som en frimarkedsmodel, som EU kunne lære af. Til sidst argumenterer Littlewood for, at de nuværende international institutioner ikke er i stand til at tackle Kinas voksende magt og demokratiske underskud. Derfor bør de nuværende international institutioner reformeres eller nye må grundlægges blandt ligesindet demokratier.   Lyt til episoden, udvid din horisont og få et frimarkedssyn på Brexit.  Links: Institute of Economic Affairs: https://iea.org.uk/ (https://iea.org.uk/) Littlewood (2020) “Hard work is not the answer for our new Britain, but smarter work can be”, The Telegraph: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hard-work-is-not-the-answer-for-our-new-britain-but-smarter-work-can-be-68ndst2jt (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hard-work-is-not-the-answer-for-our-new-britain-but-smarter-work-can-be-68ndst2jt) Singham & Tylecote (2019) “Plan A+ Creating a prosperous post-Brexit UK”: https://iea.org.uk/publications/plan-a-creating-a-prosperous-post-brexit-uk/ (https://iea.org.uk/publications/plan-a-creating-a-prosperous-post-brexit-uk/) Optaget: 31. december 2020 In this episode Martin Ågerup talks with Mark Littlewood who is the Director General for the British free-market think-tank Institute of Economic Affairs. First, Littlewood explains that his view on Britain's membership of the EU has changed over time from a supportive to an opposed stance. Accordingly, the EU has become a centralisation project and a regulatory racket. Moreover, the EU has not been successful at opening its market to non-EU members. Second, Littlewood argues that the EU has lost a classical liberal member due to Britain's exit, but he also believes that Britain can function as free-market model which the EU could learn from. Finally, Littlewood advocates that the present international institutions are not capable of coping with the rise of China and its democratic deficits. Therefore, the current international institutions need to be reformed or new ones must be created among like-minded democracies.  Listen to the episode and obtain insights on a free-market perspective on Brexit.  Links: Institute of Economic Affairs: https://iea.org.uk/ (https://iea.org.uk/) Littlewood (2020) “Hard work is not the answer for our new Britain, but smarter work can be”, The Telegraph: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hard-work-is-not-the-answer-for-our-new-britain-but-smarter-work-can-be-68ndst2jt (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hard-work-is-not-the-answer-for-our-new-britain-but-smarter-work-can-be-68ndst2jt) Singham & Tylecote (2019) “Plan A+ Creating a prosperous post-Brexit UK”: https://iea.org.uk/publications/plan-a-creating-a-prosperous-post-brexit-uk/ (https://iea.org.uk/publications/plan-a-creating-a-prosperous-post-brexit-uk/)

At the moment there isn't really enough talk about choices. Everything is being presented as either a future in Brexit UK (with all the lack of choices that entails), or an independent future in the EU.However there are more options than that available. If one looks to Scandinavia it is possible to see many different types of engagement and activity with Europe, from full membership and trying to change things from within, to various kinds of halfway house.In this talk presented here in the 154th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast, Lesley Riddoch outlines the options, and there are many of them that are appealing.Hope you enjoy.LINKShttps://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcasthttp://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/https://twitter.com/mgreenwell
