Alex talks to special guest trade epxert David Henig about Trump's threatened tariff war - how likely is it, what would it mean for the world economy, and in which direction the UK should move to be best protected. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “Most trade is not in finished products, but in components. This is really important in thinking about the effect of possible tariffs. At least 50% of US imports are things that will in turn form part of a finished American product or help to make it.” “Trump's plan for tariffs is good news if you're a lobbyist working in DC, because everyone is going to be seeking exemptions for their inputs or tariffs on their rivals. This will become quite a bonanza in that way.” “Look at the figures. 50% of our trade, broadly, is with the EU. The UK cannot afford to ignore that. But then again 15-20% of our trade is with the US. Again, we cannot ignore that. So, we have to duck and weave, but we have to do so within a very straightforward principle: Geography matters. That makes Europe more important than the US.”   “The UK needs a little bit of honesty, to say: If you put up barriers with your neighbours, you will suffer a little economically. Similarly, that we're not going to have an all-singing-all-dancing trade deal with the US. Also, that the actions we are taking at the moment to improve the deal with the EU will not transform the UK economy. Then we can have an honest discussion.” “Global Britain has failed. If the project of the last few Conservative administrations was to replace trade lost from the EU with trade around the world, that hasn't happened. In fact trade is down both with the EU and with the rest of the world.” Click here for your Quiet Riot Bluesky Starter Pack. Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com.

CATHERINE McBRIDE OBE THE UK AND AUSTRALIA – REBOOTING THE RELATIONSHIP GLOBAL DISCUSSION FORUM EPISODE 1 Catherine McBride OBE is an economist, born in Australia but now a member of the UK's Trade and Agriculture Commission, a body tasked with scrutinising the UK's new post-Brexit trade agreements. She is expertly placed to give us a presentation on all aspects of the new economic relationship between the UK and Australia. About Catherine McBride Catherine was awarded an OBE for services to Economic Commentary and Trade Policy and is recognised as an expert in her field, specialising in economic and regulatory topics, global trade, farming standards, the environment, banking and macroeconomics. She is a fellow of the Centre for Brexit Policy, a researcher for the Growth Commission and has written papers on UK post-Brexit trade for Global Britain and for the IEA. She writes regularly for the website Briefings for Britain and for The Telegraph. Catherine moved to the UK to work for an Australian Stockbroker in 1987, she still lives in London, and has worked for UK and American multinational banks trading the European and US derivative markets, including the agricultural commodities markets. She campaigned for Brexit in 2016 as she believed that the EU's one-size-fits-all policies fitted no country in the EU very well but they really didn't fit the UK which was always an outlier in the EU. After the UK-EU referendum, Catherine joined a City think tank reviewing EU financial regulations that could be changed now the UK had left the EU's control. She later joined the Legatum Institute and then the Institute of Economic Affairs, also writing about financial regulation. But as the debate about new free trade agreements heated up in the UK, she found herself as a lone voice rebutting the misinformation being pushed out by the UK's National Farmers Union about Australian farms, food and farming standards. This brought her to the attention of the Department for International Trade, which appointed her to the Trade and Agriculture Commission in 2021.

As Labour announces its plans to reclaim 'Levelling Up', Sam Freedman and Ayesha Hazarika are joined by Ed Balls to discuss the dual challenges of tackling economic and regional inequality and going for growthBoris Johnson's claim to end the North-South divide has been a spectacular disaster in terms of going from a box office slogan to something of any substance at all. Councils across the UK are on the brink of collapse and bankruptcy and economic equality across the country has never been more entrenched.So what happens now? Can the agenda move into reality and what would an actual Levelling Up plan look like? Are people going to buy it anymore without any tangible progress to show for it, and ultimately what is the role of Westminster vs local authorities and regional mayors.Tackling regional inequality is not only an end in itself but also a means in going for growth - an absolute imperative for the next government. Both Labour and the Tories have said they want to deliver growth, but what is the path for delivering it? It has to be a key priority for the next Prime Minister, as part of a central growth drive, working with and not against business, championing open markets and consumers as well as a comprehensive backing for combined authorities with devolved powers.Ed also speaks to Sam and Ayesha about podcasting with George Osborne, Labour's workers rights package as well as never being invited to give the Mais lecture. He is also the first guest to face our new Power Questions section - where he calls for Keir Starmer to grasp the theme of Global Britain and be confident about the UK's outward facing role in the world, how Jo Cox's legacy can help heal divisions in politics and ultimately, how the party should be willing to say when it thinks other parties have done good things that it will continue in government.

What's the significance of migration for the making of ‘Global Britain'? And what are the theoretical and conceptual tools that can help to unpack this question? In this episode, we turn our attention to the value of racial capitalism for understanding migration to and from the UK after Brexit. Elena Zambelli explains what we mean when we talk about ‘Global Britain,' its political trajectory, and the role of coloniality within it. Ida Danewid, Lecturer in Gender and Global Political Economy at the University of Sussex joins us to offer insights into the relationship between racial capitalism, migration and borders. As she highlights, mobility controls produce the exploitable labour force necessary for capitalist accumulation and how those migrantized resist state violence. And co-hosts Nando Sigona and Michaela Benson consider what a racial capitalism lens adds to understandings of the UK's new suite of humanitarian visas, and more broadly to the role of migration in the making of Global Britain.  You can access the full transcripts for the episode, further resources and active listening questions over on our website: Who do we think we are?

In this IPR lecture, Financial Times public policy editor Peter Foster discusses his book "What Went Wrong With Brexit: And What We Can Do About It". Six years after Brexit, Peter Foster argues that it's time that we stop having the same conversations over and over again. We need to move on, because in the meantime so much has changed. The economic realities that are making the UK less competitive, less productive and less well-off are ever more obvious - and more and more people are finding out the Brexit they were sold was based on falsehoods and fantasy. So what exactly went wrong with Brexit? Peter Foster's book dispels the myths and, most importantly, shows what a better future for Britain after Brexit might look like. With clear-headed practicality, he considers the real costs of leaving the EU, how we can recover international trust in the UK, how to improve cooperation and trade with our neighbours, and how to begin to build the Global Britain that Brexit promised but failed to deliver. This IPR lecture took place on 9 November 2023.

Connaissez-vous notre site ? www.lenouvelespritpublic.frUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 29 septembre 2022.Avec cette semaine :Pauline Schnapper, professeure à la Sorbonne Nouvelle.Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Lionel Zinsou, ancien Premier ministre du Bénin et président de la fondation Terra Nova.LE ROYAUME-UNI DANS LA TOURMENTE Avec la mort de la reine Elizabeth II, la Grande-Bretagne a perdu un symbole majeur de son unité. Au terme de dix jours de deuil national, le Royaume s'est éveillé avec une Première ministre novice et déjà mal-aimée, héritière d'un Boris Johnson qui est passé, en trois ans seulement, d'un triomphe électoral à une démission forcée en juin dernier. Les critiques sur sa gestion de la crise sanitaire, le « Partygate » ou encore les premières conséquences désagréables d'un Brexit dur, auront eu raison de l'ancien maire de Londres, lâché par les siens. La tâche qu'il lègue à son héritière, la très libérale Liz Truss, s'annonce donc considérable à l'image tant de la chute de la livre que du tollé a provoqué par le projet de déporter les demandeurs d'asile au Rwanda, le temps de traiter leur dossier. L'inflation qui frappe durement le pays met en avant les inégalités profondes d'un Royaume qui a vu la décrépitude de ses services publics depuis les années 70. En témoigne l'état du système de santé, la NHS, si chère aux Britanniques, qui s'est retrouvée au bord de l'implosion durant la crise sanitaire, faute de financements et de main d'œuvre étrangère. Le climat social est particulièrement tendu. Les coûts de l'énergie et les conditions de travail ont poussé récemment les cheminots et le personnel soignant dans la rue. Certains Britanniques se retrouvent déjà dans l'incapacité de payer leurs factures énergétiques tandis qu'un mouvement citoyen appelle à ne pas les régler, en signe de protestation. Une fronde dont le Labour de Keir Starmer ne parvient pas pour l'instant à tirer pleinement profit. Les échecs des Tories et les complications post-Brexit ont alimenté les mouvements nationalistes et indépendantistes du Royaume. Une Ecosse qui avait voté à 62% pour rester dans l'UE en 2016, a vu la nette victoire du Scottish National Party de Nicola Sturgeon et de ses alliés aux élections générales de 2019. Depuis les tensions demeurent grandes entre Londres et Édimbourg, notamment autour de la question de la tenue d'un nouveau referendum sur l'indépendance promis pour fin 2023 par les indépendantistes, mais désavoué par le 10 Downing Street. De même, les contrôles douaniers en mer d'Irlande ont contribué à la victoire historique du parti nationaliste irlandais Sein Fein devant les unionistes du DUP.Depuis la sortie de l'UE, c'est aussi une nouvelle place internationale qui est en jeu pour le Royaume-Uni, dont le PIB est désormais inférieur à celui de l'Inde. Le projet « Global Britain » présenté par Boris Johnson dès 2020, défend la vision d'une puissance britannique mondiale. Londres a déjà été récompensé de sa fidélité atlantiste avec la place prépondérante qu'elle tient dans l'alliance militaire AUKUS avec les Etats-Unis et l'Australie. Le gouvernement britannique s'est également aligné sur la position américaine en soutenant rapidement et massivement l'Ukraine. “Global Britain” veut aussi s'appuyer sur un Commowealth fort et soudé, défi que la disparition de la reine ne rend pas plus aisé.

ROYAUME-UNI : APRÈS BORIS, QUI ? – 03/09/22 Experts : Philip TURLE - Journaliste britannique, chroniqueur international à France 24 Agnès POIRIER - Correspondante en Grande-Bretagne à L'Express Catherine MATHIEU - Économiste à l'OFCE, spécialiste du Royaume-Uni et des questions européennes Clémence FOURTON - Maîtresse de conférences en études anglophones à Sciences-Po Lille Le vote est terminé, il est crucial. Les quelques 200.000 membres du parti conservateur britannique ont été appelé à voter jusqu'à hier pour désigner leur nouveau leader, celui ou celle qui succédera à Boris Johnson au poste de Premier ministre dès mardi prochain. Le nom du vainqueur sera annoncé la veille, lundi 5 septembre. Selon les instituts de sondage, la ministre des Affaires étrangères Liz Truss est donnée favorite face à son rival Rishi Sunak. Ce serait la troisième femme à faire son entrée au 10 Downing Street après Margaret Thatcher et Theresa May. C'est donc la fin de l'ère Johnson outre-manche. Trois années marquées par une série de scandales et la rupture avec l'Union européenne. Un divorce difficile qui a exacerbé les problèmes économiques : l'inflation est aujourd'hui record et la croissance en berne. Les pénuries de marchandises et de main d'oeuvre se sont multipliées également, alors que les exportations vers l'UE sont maintenant au ralenti. La personne qui remplacera Boris Johnson aura donc fort à faire face, entre un parti cabossé par les scandales et un pays en pleine crise. Le Royaume-Uni est en effet le membre du G7 le plus gravement frappé par l'inflation. Celle-ci pourrait atteindre les 22 % en janvier prochain. Avec des factures d'énergie qui seront 80 % plus importantes qu'un an plus tôt, l'hiver sera rude dans les foyers britanniques. Plus de 129 000 citoyens ont d'ailleurs signé la pétition « Don't Pay UK » qui incite à ne pas régler ses factures d'énergie à partir du 1er octobre. La hausse exponentielle des dépenses énergétiques force déjà des millions de personnes à choisir entre se nourrir ou se chauffer l'hiver prochain. Autre bilan à tirer des années Bojo : celui concernant son vaste programme « Global Britain ». Celui-ci visait à restaurer la grandeur de la Grande-Bretagne post-Brexit, et à lui redonner de la valeur sur la scène internationale. Le développement d'une politique pro-business pour une meilleure attractivité était un des leviers, mais les résultats restent nuancés. Sur le plan géopolitique, Boris Johnson a indéniablement chercher à exister, entre visites surprises à Kiev et unité affichée avec Joe Biden.

LA REINE JUBILE, BORIS JOHNSON DÉCLINE – 02/06/22 Invités PHILIP TURLE Journaliste britannique Chroniqueur international - « France 24 » PASCAL BONIFACE Directeur de l'IRIS Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques AGNÈS-CATHERINE POIRIER Correspondante en Grande-Bretagne - « L'Express » FLORENTIN COLLOMP Journaliste - « Le Figaro » Spécialiste Europe, ex-correspondant à Londres ÉRIC ALBERT En direct de Londres Journaliste - Correspondant à Londres - « Le Monde » Carrosse, feuilles d'or et grand show. Quatre jours de fêtes outre-manche pour le premier jubilé de platine d'un monarque britannique. Celui d'Elisabeth II évidemment, qui célèbre sa longévité record sur le trône : 70 ans. Apparue au balcon de Buckingham, devant des centaines de milliers de personnes rassemblées sur le Mall de Londres, la reine âgée de 96 ans a probablement fait une de ses dernières apparitions publiques. Ces festivités, retransmises dans le monde entier, soulignent l'intérêt incroyable portée sur cette famille royale. Ce matin, tous ses membres en activité – exit donc Harry et Meghan – a salué la foule. Une dynastie ultra-populaire, qui suscite tous les fantasmes et toutes les théories, alors que le Prince Charles, 73 ans, premier dans l'ordre de succession, s'apprête à présent à succéder à sa mère. Reine d'Angleterre, Elisabeth II est aussi reine du Commonwealth, vaste organisation intergouvernementale composée de 54 anciennes colonies. L'Australie, le Canada ou encore la Nouvelle-Zélande en font partie. Mais l'empire semble aujourd'hui se déliter, l'île de la Barbade, par exemple, s'est affranchit l'an dernier de la couronne britannique en se déclarant République. Pendant ce temps-là, le Premier ministre Boris Johnson cherche à restaurer la grandeur de la Grande-Bretagne post-Brexit, et à lui redonner de l'aura sur la scène internationale. C'est ce que vise son vaste programme « Global Britain » qui cherche à développer une politique pro-business pour une meilleure attractivité du pays. Sur le plan géopolitique, BoJo cherche là aussi à exister, entre visite surprise à Kiev et unité affiché avec Joe Biden, Ce jubilé, moment d'unité de la nation, marque surtout un répit pour celui qui est englué dans le scandale du partygate. La fronde de son parti pourrait même lui être fatale puisqu'une motion de défiance interne des conservateurs pourrait être votée dans les prochains jours. Ce qui obligerait Boris Johnson à démissionner, au risque de voir les députés bloquer systématiquement sa politique. C'est aussi la santé économique du pays qui est en berne et le fragilise. L'inflation est record, au plus haut depuis plus de trente and, et pourrait même dépasser les 10% cet automne. À cela s'ajoute les conséquences négatives du divorce avec l'UE, comme les pénuries de main d'oeuvre et de produits dans certains secteurs. Alors, comment analyser l'intérêt du monde autour de la monarchie britannique ? Le programme « Global Britain » de Boris Johnson peut-il réussir ?

As a follow up to our recent interview with The First Sea Lord exploring the Royal Navy in the modern world, today we look at the the broader question: Is Britain still a global power? Globalisation is a topic that sits at the heart of maritime and naval history. We are all now hugely interconnected - whether it's transportation under normal circumstances, the economy, society, social media, our health - no country can be entirely isolated from the rest of the world. But when we talk about 'Global Britain' there's an assumption of global power. What do we mean by Global Britain now and what did it mean in the past? How has our history helped position Britain in the world today? What is the biggest threat to Britain's security today? What is Britain's relationship with NATO? How does Britain fit into the new world order emerging economically, politically and military in the Indo-Pacific? All of this can only be understood through the lense of history - with an understanding of the age of Empire, the end of the Second World War, the Cold War and now Brexit.

This is an important, revisionist account of the origins of the British Empire in Asia in the early modern period. In The Origins of the British Empire in Asia, 1600-1750 (Cambridge University Press, 2020), David Veevers uncovers a hidden world of transcultural interactions between servants of the English East India Company and the Asian communities and states they came into contact with, revealing how it was this integration of Europeans into non-European economies, states and societies which was central to British imperial and commercial success rather than national or mercantilist enterprise. As their servants skillfully adapted to this rich and complex environment, the East India Company became enfranchised by the eighteenth century with a breadth of privileges and rights – from governing sprawling metropolises to trading customs-free. In emphasizing the Asian genesis of the British Empire, this book sheds new light on the foreign frameworks of power which fueled the expansion of Global Britain in the early modern world. David Veevers is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. He has published articles in the Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History and the Journal of Global History, and won the Royal Historical Society's Alexander Prize in 2014.

In particular, the two focus on the state of the Northern Ireland Protocol, including its continuing impact on the trading relations between the U.K. and the EU, as well as the disruption to internal British flow of goods. They also discuss the potential impacts of the announcement of a global minimum tax on corporations first presented at the G7 Cornwall Summit, including how that program might highlight and fuel populist views within the EU. They close by gauging the success of how the U.K.'s first domestically hosted post-Brexit, in-person major international summit reflected on the newly-minted status of “Global Britain”. Dr. Patrick Holden is an Associate Professor (Reader) of the School of Law, Criminology and Government (Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business) at the University of Plymouth, U.K. He is the author of numerous academic articles, and conducts research and teaching in relation to International Political Economy, the European Union in the World, International Development Policy, Global Governance and Regional Integration, as well as the Brexit process.
