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.

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.

the3million #DeniedMyBackup Webinar
2020-08-27 19:00
Topic
DeniedMyBackup: Take action with the3million for a physical backup to digital immigration status

Description
Imagine you urgently need a job, or are looking for a place to live, and as part of the process you need to prove you have the right to live in the UK. But your passport is no longer enough, and you have no biometric residence card as proof – just a code to enter into the Home Office database. Just as the landlord or employer logs on to check your ID, the system crashes, and you are passed over for someone else whose proof is easier to check.
And that’s not all – to get that code in the first place, you need not only your passport but also access to the right email address or mobile number that the status was originally linked to. If someone else helped you set this up, perhaps years ago, can you imagine the stress of trying to deal with the Home Office website just to prove you have the right to live and work?
That may be part of daily life for many EU citizens after 31 December this year, as the only group of foreign residents in the UK with a digital-only immigration status and no backup option of physical proof.
the3million is inviting you to our webinar and Q&A on why EU citizens should have the option for physical proof of immigration status. We’re meeting on Zoom, Thursday 27 August at 7pm – please register by filling in this form.
The panel will be chaired by Luke Piper (the3million) and include Emily McCarron from Age UK who will explain the consequences of a digital-only scheme for older EU citizens, Monique Hawkins from the3million, Ian Robinson from Fragomen, and Ollie Persey from the Public Law Project. There will be short statements at the beginning, and plenty of time to ask questions.
The webinar is open to all and will be recorded and live streamed on the3million’s social media. If you have any difficulties receiving your registration details, please email research@the3million.org.uk.
