'Britain, Ireland and Europe: where we are and where we're going' The United Kingdom's relations with its neighbour have been in some flux since British voters voted to leave the European Union in 2016. The protracted upheaval of Brexit strained relations with both Ireland and the EU, and a new, fully stable equilibrium has yet to emerge. Sir Ivan Rogers - advisor to two British prime ministers, among numerous other roles - will discuss the current and future state of the UK's relations with its neighbours and how relations might change after the upcoming British general election. He will also assess the security implications for Britain and Europe of Russia's war with Ukraine. About the Speaker Sir Ivan Rogers has spent most of his career to date in the British civil servant and foreign corps. He has advised two British Prime Ministers (Tony Blair and David Cameron), one Chancellor of the Exchequer (Ken Clark), and served as Chief of Staff in Brussels to a European Commissioner (Leon Brittan). He has also held senior positions in the private sector. Since resigning as the UK's Permanent Representative to the EU in 2017, he has been one of the leading public analysts of Brexit and related matters.

A deep dive on Brexit, past, present, and future, with perhaps the foremost expert on the issue, Sir Ivan Rogers. Sir Ivan was the Permanent Representative of the UK to the EU between 2013 and 2017; he also served various top treasury roles under Kenneth Clarke, Gordon Brown, and Tony Blair. Eloquent and prescient, he takes stock of how the UK ended up with Brexit.

The Institute for Government was pleased to welcome Sir Ivan Rogers, former UK Permanent Representative to the EU, to discuss how the UK should deal with the EU after Brexit. The UK wants an ambitious future arrangement covering trade, cooperation in foreign and security policy, data exchange and more. But negotiations on the future relationship will be much more complex than those on the withdrawal – and will take place under even greater time pressure. Sir Ivan explored how the UK Government needs to prepare for those negotiations, and how it needs to rethink its long-term relationship with EU member states and institutions. He was in conversation with Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. There was an opportunity for questions from the audience.

Tim and Jen spoke to Open Europe's Vincenzo Scarpetta to find out how much influence Sir Ivan really wielded and whether his replacement, Sir Tim Barrow, will help strike a more positive note for the UK as the invoking of Article 50 looms large. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #sirivanrogers #resignation #diplomat #civilservant #whitehall #ambassador #sirtimbarrow #theresamay #davidcameron #departmentforexitingtheeuropeanunion
