SUMMARY:Webinar - Brexit Reality Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Brexit not only gave rise to political and institutional upheavals; it also had another long-term consequence\, namely a polarisation and division of British society that goes beyond generational divisions\, socio-professional contexts and political and ideological leanings. Whether for or against\, the discussions about this divorce are as heated as ever and the arguments on both sides are becoming increasingly entrenched. \nTo discuss the international repercussions of Brexit over the long term and construct a new narrative of the event by adopting a bottom-up approach (via an original oral history project).

SUMMARY:Disinformed Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This event will feature a screening of the film followed by a panel discussion with Marianna Spring (Moderator)\, Damian Collins MP\, Ian Lucas\, Kyle Taylor\, and Katharina Viken. \n  \nDis/Informed is a deep-dive into conspiracy mentality and why we are so vulnerable to disinformation. We all like to assume that conspiracy is rare\, and that those who believe it are stupid\, or uneducated. \n  \nThe directors\, Katharina Viken and Dr Charles Kriel debunk this persistent myth\, and look at the real psychological reasons behind believing disinformation. The film explores why conspiracy spills over into violence\, how the pandemic has affected our flow of information\, and in particular how women’s online spaces are radicalised.

SUMMARY:The State We're In at 25: reconsidering progressive politics
DESCRIPTION:Will Hutton’s The State We’re In was one of the most important polemical works of the 1990s. The challenging\, creative critique of the UK’s political economy caught the public mood and provided intellectual underpinning for a period of progressive renewal. The book remains one of the bestselling books on UK public policy. But how relevant is it today? \nAre the problems faced by the UK different now? And what lessons are there in progressive renewal? To mark the book’s 25th anniversary\, this event will bring together Will Hutton with leading political thinkers to update the work and consider parallels between the UK politics of the mid-90s and now. \nSpeakers and chair: Will Hutton is a political economist\, author and journalist.\nAlison McGovern (@Alison_McGovern) is a British Labour politician who has been the Member of Parliament for Wirral South since 2010.\nGeoff Mulgan CBE is Professor of Collective Intelligence\, Public Policy and Social Innovation at University College London (UCL). Prior to that he was Chief Executive of Nesta\, the UK’s innovation foundation between 2011 and 2019.\nNeil Lee (@ndrlee) is Professor of Economic Geography at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

SUMMARY:Must Labour always lose? How to avoid a one-party state
DESCRIPTION:Denis MacShane has had a colourful\, often controversial life as a journalist-politician in Labour over many years\, standing for Parliament in 1974 and being the best Europe Minister of any government until the calamity of Brexit struck. \nHis account of why Labour is so good at losing elections makes fascinating reading. His unique insight comes from 15 years work with trade unions and progressive political movement in Europe and overseas. His book is personal\, political and full of insights. Much of the European Left is struggling\, and Labour must avoid that fate. \nWhy is Labour so keen on fighting internal battles and so useless at winning power? \nWhat to do to get Labour back into power is a central question if we don’t want to live in a one-party state.

SUMMARY:Brexit and Music
DESCRIPTION:Just what has Brexit meant for touring performers\, musicians and festival organisers? What are the parallels for other industries? \nWe cannot express the issue any better than Sir Simon Rattle\, whose family are based in Germany\, has applied for a German passport and said any musician with only a UK passport was at a disadvantage. \n“People who are normally hired by organisations abroad are being told\, ‘I’m sorry\, we just don’t have the capacity to bring somebody from the United Kingdom\, it is too complicated and too expensive’. What I worry about is how much music will have been lost\, how many brilliant young musicians will not be able to do what they do\, how many artistic lives will be ruined?” \nOur panel (final diverse line-up tbc) includes: \nSimon Dunbavand\, organist\, pianist\, conductor and teacher \nDavid Knopfler\, singer-songwriter\, founding member of rock group Dire Straits and now with twenty solo albums under his belt. \nBen Osborn\, based in Berlin\, works with asylum seekers and has provided music for theatre as well as a performer. \nMilena Simovic\, solo violinist and violist\, member of the United Strings of Europe ensemble \nLucy Woolley\, creative producer and coach\, festival director of Lancaster Jazz Festival

SUMMARY:How fares meritocracy in Britain and Europe? Competence or Cronyism?
DESCRIPTION:Adrian Wooldridge\, Political Editor and “Bagehot” columnist of The Economist.\nWhat binds us and divides us? Are there links to Brexit and our PM? \nBrexit Britain is looking increasingly like 1970s Britain: bigger state\, higher inflation\, less choice\, more bureaucracy\, shortages of staff and supplies\, ignoring the needs of the less-privileged\, rampant cronyism. \nHis latest book “The Aristocracy of Talent: How Meritocracy Made the Modern World” traces the history of meritocracy. He describes the repeated efforts to compel society to organise itself on lines where not bloodlines or bank balances but merit alone decides who rules. \nHis book raises debates regarding the future of the Labour Party (“it offers Labour’s only path to victory” according to Wooldridge) and the Government’s “levelling up” agenda. \nWhere does meritocracy stand in the domestic party political arena? What can we learn from divergent attitudes in Europe and across the world\, and where does Brexit fit into the context? This promises to be a fascinating talk.

SUMMARY:Hitler's Cosmopolitan Bastard
