L'amore mai sbocciato tra Unione Europea e Regno Unito ha visto il suo definitivo tramonto con il referendum del 2016, che ha sancito l'uscita del paese anglosassone dal blocco europeo. Un distacco che, dopo estenuanti trattative e dialoghi tra i due governi, è avvenuto ufficialmente a inizio 2020, ma che sta avendo ancora importanti strascichi relativi alle trattative per definire nel dettaglio gli accordi commerciali della Brexit. Un accordo che però stenta ad arrivare, con molti punti ancora da chiarire e con la data di scadenza che si avvicina sempre di più: senza un acco...

Next to socio-demographic characteristics such as age and education, national identities and attitudes about immigration played a core role for the decision.

The Good Jollof Podcast#15 Was Brexit An Excuse For People To Be Racist?Brexit has divided the country in more ways than one, however, immigration has been a dominant component fuelling the 52% to vote leave, in addition to "getting back our country..." Britain is set to leave the EU by the 31st of January 2020.
Brexit was a legitimate vote in every sense of democracy, but what was the rationale behind the result from the majority who voted leave?

Abstracts Podcast#2 - The Psychology of BrexitIn this episode we discuss the psychology of Brexit and ponder the question, “Why can’t we communicate?”. We talk about what Locke from Lost has got to do with Brexit, what evolution has to say about our behaviour, and why one side (literally) sees the forest while the other sees the trees. Can we learn anything about politics from personality traits and the psychology of group behaviour? We get into it over a bottle of gin in another episode of Abstracts.

Brexit PodcastPatrick Minford on the £135billion benefits of BrexitBrexit will boost Britain’s economy to the tune of £135billion. That’s the view of Patrick Minford who chairs Economists For Free Trade, the pro leave group that believes the UK will prosper from a free market economy on leaving the EU. Patrick joins Tim to explain why his view bucks the trend of many economists, as he cites the removal of protectionism, subsidies paid out to unskilled immigrants and our annual membership of the European Union as chief factors in why we’ll soon all be better off. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #PatrickMinford #EUReferendum #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #P...

That is the message from Blondel Cluff, the representative of the government of Anguilla to the UK and European Union, who has grave concerns over the human cost of a hard Brexit to the British dependency. Blondel joins Tim to explain why a fiercely British Anguilla needs to be moved up the priorities in Westminster or risk desperate healthcare conditions - including a shortage of drinking water - on leaving the EU.

Perhaps not an unusual statement given 52 per cent of Brits agreed with his decision. But given Tony invests in eight businesses and founded and then sold the UK’s largest fresh fish processor and distributor, Direct Seafoods, it bucks much of the anti-Brexit free-trade thinking.

It might seem strange that with Germany exporting €86 billion worth of goods to the UK, chancellor Angela Merkel would not be under more pressure from the manufacturing sector to stay on good terms with Britain. But as Tim discovered, Merkel's political priorities, including immigration, the rise of the ri...

There are also further calls for the guaranteeing of EU citizens' rights in the U.K., the need for a financial settlement before Britain leaves, and the rebuttal of any sector-by-sector deals to protect the integrity of the single market.
