Webinar with Denis MacShane on the Politics of Brexit Now - Haringey for Europe
2020-09-16 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom, United Kingdom
…where we are at present and how grassroots pro-EU organisations can contribute.

Denis MacShane, a former UK Minister of Europe, has discussed Brexit with the current Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, the past leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, the new president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and Michel Barnier, a personal friend for 20 years. He has worked as a consultant advising governments, businesses and NGOs on Brexit. He will use his extensive knowledge and experience to share and explain where we are at the moment and how grassroots pro EU groups can contribute to the unfolding events as we leave the European Union. His most recent book, Brexiternity: The Uncertain Fate of Britain demonstrates how politics, business and society in the UK will continue to be dominated by Brexit, regardless of whether or not the UK crashes out with No Deal or if a Withdrawal Agreement is reached. He predicted the referendum outcome in his 2015 book Brexit: How Britain will Leave Europe.

How to be a Liberal: The six lies of nationalism.
2020-09-23 20:00 - 21:30 | Zoom, United Kingdom
‘How to be a Liberal: The six lies of nationalism’ with Ian Dunt
Wednesday 23rd September, 8-9pm, Zoom event
Join Bath for Europe and Cambridge for Europe for this jointly-organised event. Please register in advance for this free event via this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAudu6uqjMrGNRu5jMOLFlmJi30qnbwOY17

Across the world, nationalism is on the rise. Right-wing populists have taken hold of some of the most powerful countries, including the US, UK, India, Brazil, Italy, and Hungary. The best way to counter them is to renew our confidence in liberal beliefs of freedom and reason. Liberalism is currently fractured and unfashionable – mocked by the right and dismissed by the left. But it remains, even now, the most radical set of ideas in the history of humankind. To mark the launch of his new book, How to be a Liberal, Ian Dunt sets the principles and practices of liberalism and shows why it remains our most powerful weapon to shatter the shiny lies of populists.
Ian Dunt is the editor of Politics.co.uk, a host on the Remainiacs podcast and the author of Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now. His new book, How to be a Liberal, is released 17th September 2020.

Beyond the red wall: Voters, Views and Values after the end of Brexit Transition
2021-01-27 20:00 | Online
As Britain leaves the EU behind, pro-Europeans face a long campaign to persuade a sceptical country to move back towards European institutions. Whatever disappointments Brexit brings to its supporters, it is naïve to think that these will cause a sudden change of heart. More than ever, it is important to understand what matters to the public and what common ground can be found. Deborah Mattinson is a co-founder of Britain Thinks and as a writer and broadcaster she is a leading commentator on public opinion and the mood of the nation.
Her recent book Beyond the Red Wall: Why Labour Lost, How the Conservatives Won and What Will Happen Next? asks why voters in former coal, steel and manufacturing constituencies opted for Boris Johnson’s vision of Brexit Britain in 2019 and seeks answers from the red wall voters themselves.
