Last week, Meta lost its appeal to overturn the Competition and Market Authority's order that it sell Giphy. While the CMA's order that Meta's acquisition of Giphy damaged competition has been retained, it has raised debates over how much power should be afforded to the regulator. To discuss this, Victoria Hewson, IEA Head of Regulator Affairs, is joined by a panel of competition law experts. The panel includes Aurelien Portuese, Director of the Schumpeter Project at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, Iain Murray, Vice President of the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Cento Veljanovski, Managing Director at Case Associates and IEA Academic Fellow.

Is English football broken? Should government try to fix it? And are any of the proposals in the Fan-Led Review of Football proportionate or necessary? At this lively and fascinating debate, former Crystal Palace Chairman Simon Jordan and Member of Parliament Damian Collins join the IEA's Victoria Hewson and Professor Len Shackleton to discuss the Crouch Review, the risks, and whether it's time English Football was overseen by an "independent regulator".  Simon is a serial entrepreneur, who had run a vast array of successful business across several industries. In 2000 he purchased Crystal Palace Football Club and remained chairman of the club for over a decade. He is currently a TalkSPORT co-presenter.   Damian is Member of Parliament for Folkstone and Hythe, and was formerly Chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee.  Victoria Hewson is Head of Regulatory Affairs at the IEA. Len Shackleton is an IEA Fellow and Professor of Economics at the University of Buckingham.

Nadine Dorries, Secretary of State at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport last week released the Government's Online Safety Bill, all 200-odd pages of it. Why is a bill designed to protect children and the vulnerable from online harms potentially utterly ruinous for freedom of expression online? Darren Grimes is joined by Victoria Hewson, Head of Regulatory Affairs at the Institute of Economic Affairs, who has pored through all 225 pages of this bill to tell us why she's seriously concerned by its contents and the predicted consequences of its contents.

The European Union has set out its proposals to change the Northern Ireland Protocol after the Brexit Minister, Lord Frost, announced in Lisbon earlier this week that the UK will trigger Article 16 if changes to the agreement are not made. The protocol was designed to prevent checks along the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, following Brexit. But since it came into force at the start of 2021, it has prompted disagreements between the UK and EU because it has disrupted trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. IEA Communications and Marketing Assistant, Kieran Neild Ali, sat down with Victoria Hewson, who is Head of Regulatory Affairs at the IEA, to discuss the Northern Ireland Protocol. They discussed the origins of the Northern Ireland Protocol, the constitutional and economic problems with the agreement and what the future holds for UK-EU relations.

The Northern Ireland Protocol is a protocol of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement that covers the special situation in the island of Ireland. Its terms were negotiated in 2019 and concluded in December 2020. The Protocol has been a thorn in the side of UK-EU relations ever since the UK left the transition period and entered a new trading relationship with the EU on 31st December 2020. Trade disruption between Northern Ireland and Great Britain and threats of invoking Article 16 of the Protocol by the EU over Covid vaccine supplies have soured relations and brought the protocol under scrutiny on both sides of the channel. Syed Kamall, Acting Academic and Research Director at the Institute of Economic Affairs, sits down with Victoria Hewson, IEA Head of Regulatory Affairs, and journalist Owen Polley to explain the Protocol and discuss its implications.

Clash of the IEA Titans: Christopher Snowdon and Victoria Hewson discuss lockdown-sceptic scepticism and easing the restrictions in a lively debate hosted by our Head of Political Economy Dr Kristian Niemietz.Christopher is Head of Lifestyle Economics at the IEA, and recently said in a piece for Quillette that he reluctantly supports a third lockdown, arguing that “The logic behind lockdowns is difficult to refute. If you reduce human interaction, you will reduce the virus’s ability to spread”. Christopher acknowledges that “The economy is battered beyond belief” but he “doesn’t think it is necessarily a bad idea to prevent tens of thousands of people dying this winter from a disease for which we now have multiple vaccines.”In the opposite corner we have Victoria, IEA Head of Regulatory Affairs. Victoria has argued that Lockdown sceptics will be crucial in the fight to regain freedom. In an article for the Critic, Victoria suggests that many of the government’s measures have been enacted with “minimal parliamentary scrutiny” and have incurred an “incalculable cost to mental health and wellbeing, and to democratic norms and civil liberties”. Victoria’s view is that lockdown sceptics haven’t had a discernible impact on government policy or public compliance.Read Christopher’s article here and Victoria’s here.

talkRADIO, the fastest growing radio station in the United Kingdom, which hosts popular commentators like Julia Hartley-Brewer, Mike Graham and Dan Wootton, have had their YouTube channel removed. Reports suggests it's because they offered a platform to journalists and experts who questioned the efficacy of the UK’s lockdown strategy.  Victoria Hewson, Head of Regulatory Affairs at the Institute of Economic Affairs, explains how, far from government intervention being the solution, it is government that is much to blame for the suppression of dissenting voices and opinions via no-platforming of alternative outlets on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. ****** To make sure you never miss a single Reasoned video, click here to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX469QlvW5gdPCMek-d-kuQ?sub_confirmation=1 Reasoned Conversations with Darren Grimes is also available as a podcast on all good podcast platforms: https://audioboom.com/channels/5028757 Reasoned is fan-funded through monthly and one-time donations: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-fund-and-grow-reasoned ****** Follow Victoria on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MissVHewson ****** Follow Reasoned on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReasonedUK Follow Reasoned on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ReasonedUK Follow Reasoned on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ReasonedUK Follow Darren on Twitter: https://twitter.com/darrengrimes_ Follow Darren on Facebook: https://twitter.com/thedarrengrimes

The UK government has published a bill overwriting parts of the EU withdrawal agreement. Victoria Hewson analyses regulations at the Institute of Economic Affairs, and explains why the proposed UK law, which the government acknowledges could breach international law, is so controversial. We get the perspective of two British businesses about the possibility of there being no new trade deal in place before the end of the UK's transitional phase out of the EU at the end of this year. Andrew Varga runs SEETU, which makes safety valves, and Simon Boyd runs Reid Steel. And John Pickering, head of German domestic appliance manufacturer Miele in the UK tells us how European businesses see things developing. Also in the programme, despite a drive ongoing to reduce the amount of plastic people are using once and then throwing away, companies are still looking at possible alternative materials. Lise Honsinger is co-founder and chief operating officer of Notpla, and tells us about the firm's containers for food and liquids, which are made from seaweed.

With Britain in lockdown, the government has been racing to find ways to ease restrictions without putting public safety at risk. One solution is a contact-tracing app that can enable digital contact-tracing on a large scale using bluetooth. One such app is under development by NHSX with researchers from Oxford University. Though tech giants Apple and Google announced they would tweak their smartphone operating systems to help digital contact-tracing, the UK is an outlier in rejecting this approach. Is Britain sleepwalking into another coronavirus blunder by failing to listen to global consensus and expert analysis with the release of this app? Does NHSX, as IEA Head of Lifestyle Economics Christopher Snowdon has suggested, have all the hallmarks of another government IT fiasco?  Emma Revell, IEA Head of Communications, is joined by Victoria Hewson, Head of Regulatory Affairs at the Institute of Economic Affairs, and Jim Killock, Executive Director of Open Rights Group. In the episode, Victoria refers to her blog post for the IEA website which you can read here https://iea.org.uk/the-nhsx-contact-tracing-app-unresolved-civil-liberties-and-privacy-issues/

When it comes to environmental problems in general and global warming in particular, the general consensus is that ‘something must be done’. Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion have become sensations. But what is worrying about this phenomenon is that the more detached from critical reason their arguments become the more they are acclaimed. Greta, for example, began by arguing that those who put forward alternative views were liars and asserted that she had a special gift for being able to tell when people were lying. Her recent speech at the UN Climate Summit was simply a series of assertions. Extinction Rebellion seems to be strongly linked to far-left political movements. The left often argues that climate change cannot be solved by markets. And aren’t hasty, to be honest about the trade-offs involved. The IEA's Digital Manager, Darren Grimes, asked the IEA’s Victoria Hewson, Head of Regulatory Affairs, and the IEA's Head of Political Economy, Dr Kristian Niemietz, to join him and discuss the trade-offs and challenges of adopting such a radical carbon-neutral prescription.
