Britain doesn’t feel very free at the moment. And that’s bad news for Britain, certainly, but also for the world. Because – uniquely – British identity and our long heritage is rooted in the ideal of individual liberty. But what does this mean in the age of Covid? In the first of a new documentary series from the New Culture Forum, author and journalist Marc Sidwell takes on this very question. Featuring interviews with the likes of Sir Graham Brady, Baroness Claire Fox, Dan Hannan and Harry Miller, this documentary explores the history of British liberty, and what we can learn from it during these trying times.

This week on GeoPod, Alexander Downer and Georgina Downer take a deep dive into Brexit, lockdowns and US politics with former Member of the European Parliament, Dan Hannan. Dan is the intellectual godfather of the Brexit campaign, successfully putting himself out of a job after 21 years arguing for the UK's withdrawal from the EU. For Dan, Donald's Trump failed re-election bid did not come as a surprise. But Trump's influence on the Republican Party and conservatism more generally leaves a tricky legacy. Rational economics has been dumped in favour of populist economics, and the US no longer champions the trade liberalisation agenda. The economic consequences of Covid-19 - high debt and deficits and bigger government - will be hard to shake off long after the health impacts have gone. The Johnson-led UK Government needs a pathway out of bigger government and to tackle the unaccountable and ungovernable QANGOs if it wants to succeed. On Brexit, the EU is being predictably vindictive in the last stages of the negotiations for a trade agreement with the UK. It all rests with fisheries, with French President Emmanuel Macron ready to walk away from the talks for political but not economic expediency. Dan's hunch is that a deal will be done. But it's not easy. At least the UK has the prospect of trade agreements with Australia and the 11-member Comprehensive and Progressive Trans Pacific Partnership to look forward to!

Poet. Polemicist. Statesman. Who was John Milton? ‘School of Thought’ is the IEA discussion series based on ‘101 Great Liberal Thinkers’ by Dr Eamonn Butler. Each week, Syed Kamall - IEA Research Director - discusses classical liberalism’s role in bringing the modern world into existence, profiling the lives and ideas of some of the leading thinkers on individual liberty and examining their relevance today. In this week’s episode, Syed sits down with Dan Hannan, author, columnist, and President of the Initiative for Free Trade, to discuss John Milton. Best known for his religious epic Paradise Lost (1667), Milton also argued for the legality and morality of divorce, religious toleration and setting the church free from the political authorities. He stressed the political equality of individuals and saw government as an implied contract between rulers and the people. Milton advocated free speech and freedom of conscience (at least among Protestants), believing that people can distinguish right from wrong if they can hear the competing arguments in open debate. ‘Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely’, he wrote, ‘according to conscience above all liberties’. After the execution of Charles I in 1649, Milton became a polemicist for the incoming republican government of Oliver Cromwell. But he soon became an open critic of the autocratic Cromwell, urging him to respect his regime’s implied contract with the people. Though no democrat, he dreamt of creating a more liberal republic (a ‘free commonwealth’); but in fact the monarchy was restored.
In the remote mountains on the Vermont / New Hampshire border, Daniel Hannan talks about Milton Friedman - from the cottage Friedman built as a summer retreat.Watch Dan discuss with Douglas why freedom matters, why the free markets are as important today as ever before - and why he - Dan - is such a useless shot.

Dan Hannan on why democracy can't work in the EU: "Democracy isn't just a periodic right to put a cross on a bit of paper. democracy also depends on a certain relationship between government and governed. "You have a sense of loyalty, of shared affinity in Sweden or Portugal or Britain, but nobody ever really says 'I'm a European' in a way that they might say 'I'm a Swede' or 'I'm a Portuguese'. "So when you have European elections you don't find that they are happening in a context of a European public opinion or recognised pan-European political leaders, what you have, of course, is 28 separate national campaigns because people's primary loyalty is at national level and so there is this Potemkin quality - there's something fake about the whole idea. "You have these political parties sitting there, you have a pretence that there was some kind of pan European democratic process, but honestly hand on heart can you imagine anybody saying, 'well you know I was gonna vote for Weber but I reckon Verhofstadt edged it in the second debate' - I mean it's just a nonsense."

This week on the Brexit podcast that’s so powerful the government schedules its bad news for Thursdays to make sure we miss it… Special guest JONN ELLEDGE of the New Statesman and Citymetric joins us to talk about how urbanisation relates to Brexit. Is the old “Remain metropolises vs Leave countryside” conundrum really nonsense? Is there a plan for infrastructure after Brexit? And more importantly, why does Jonn love propellerheaded Brexit wonk Dan Hannan so much? PLUS: What’s really behind Jeremy Corbyn’s massive turnaround regarding the single market? SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY: Can the government get a proper day of debate on the Withdrawal Bill done in one day? (Spoiler: course it can’t). And why we might be living through a 1970s TV series called THE ARMAGEDDON SCENARIO. And marvel as we try to predict what major events we’ll miss this week because they happened after we finished recording – and totally miss the resignation of Paul Dacre AND Theresa May utterly duffing up David Davis over the customs backstop. Thanks Paul! Thanks Theresa and David!“Trying to understand Labour’s Brexit policy is like learning Klingon. All that intellectual effort and then at the end of it, nobody can understand you.”This week’s REMAINIACS is presented and produced by Andrew Harrison with Naomi Smith, and Ian Dunt.

I've got a confession to make. On Thursday 23rd June 2016, I visited the polling station and, like every other adult in this country, answered a question; Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union? And like the majority of others who voted in this referendum, I voted to leave. I wasn't always in the leave camp. In the months leading up to referendum day, I devoted a huge amount of time to reading, debating and doing my best to understand the issues. As part of Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce, I helped to arrange and host two panel debates on the subject. I also attended a panel debate hosted by on of my professional bodies, the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment. The more I learnt about the European Union, the more I swayed towards Leave. The biggest single factor in making up my mind was reading Why Vote Leave by my guest on the podcast today, Daniel Hannan. Dan Hannan is a writer and journalist. After 17 years as a Member of the European Parliament, campaigning for British withdrawal from the EU, he succeeded in abolishing his job in the Brexit referendum on 23 June 2016. He is the author of nine books, including New York Times bestseller 'Inventing Freedom: How the English-Speaking Peoples Made the Modern World', and Sunday Times bestseller 'Why Vote Leave'. His latest book, and the subject of our conversation today, is 'What Next: How to get the best from Brexit'. In today’s episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to Dan about why the experts got it wrong, how we should aim to have freest possible trade with our European allies, understanding the difference between a free trade area and a customs union, why the Prime Minister would be crazy to share her negotiating strategy, whether we are still on track to trigger Article 50 by the end of March, and much more. Welcome to What Next for Brexit? With Daniel Hannan, in episode 162 of Informed Choice Radio. Some questions I ask: -Did you originally become an MEP with the goal of the UK leaving the EU? -Why did all of the experts get it so wrong? -How can we get the best deal from Brexit? -What's the difference between a free trade area and a customs union? -Does Theresa May have a plan for Brexit? -Where does the balance of power lie in the upcoming negotiations? -Will Brexit be a smooth ride? -How long is the uncertainty over Brexit likely to continue shaking investment markets? -Are we still on track to trigger Article 50 by the end of March? -What's your one concern about how we might get Brexit wrong?
