Very much enjoyed this thought provoking and timely report from Sam Freedman. It points to some profound structural issues around Britain's political culture, which unless they are addressed are likely to defeat any government of any complexion committed to deliver any programme. As the report argues, the super-fast media cycle and obsession of political commentators on tactics and personality, leads to a politics of ad hoc responses which governments then struggle to deliver, and a situation where a highly centralised political system lacks the organisational capacity to drive forward longer term infrastructural change in the regions. To address this, a new government is going to have to calm down rather than feed media commentary, and focus capacity on delivering a handful of big win priorities. That involves some fundamental shifts in political culture. Fascinating times. https://lnkd.in/eqx7ZetY

Mayor Sadiq Khan recently addressed London Government leaders, emphasising the evident challenges posed by Brexit four years on. The current trajectory is impacting our economy negatively, with a loss of £140 billion according to recent research commissioned by City Hall. In light of these economic consequences, Mayor Khan advocates for a more mature and open approach to improve our trading arrangements with European neighbours. He urges individuals who share this perspective to join the European Movement and contribute to fostering a closer relationship with the EU. The economic toll is not limited to numbers; it directly affects the average Londoner, who is reported to be nearly £3,400 worse off due to Brexit. Beyond the capital, various regions are grappling with lost opportunities, businesses, and income. Mayor Khan sees it as his duty to stand up for London and the entire country, calling for urgent action to build stronger ties with the EU. By becoming a member of the European Movement, you can play an integral role in the campaign to renew our links with the EU. Mayor Khan believes this is crucial for turbocharging our economy, raising living standards, and unlocking growth and prosperity. Forecasts indicate that if no action is taken, the economic damage from Brexit could spiral, with more than £300 billion potentially wiped off the UK's economy by 2035. Mayor Khan invites you to join him in advocating for a better European future for our country. If you resonate with this call to action, consider becoming a member of the European Movement today. Your support can contribute to shaping a more prosperous and interconnected future for the UK. Join: https://bit.ly/3vmP9bU

Special Counsel, Foreign Investment and National Security, at Covington // National Security Committee at techUK
An important opportunity to comment on the proposed monitoring /review and risk assessment for EU outbound investment - as the fourth meeting Report reflects, the key considerations for the moment are on practicalities and scope. Gathering relevant and useful data will not be straightforward, but is vital to understanding whether there are problems to address and formulating any legislative/policy response - including whether that ultimately leads to outbound investment screening mechanism(s) for the EU/Member States (and form that might take), updates to the Dual Use regulation and national export control and trade laws, or future alertness and assessment of risks when applying existing tools. (with thanks to @Damien for sharing the links to the report and drawing attention to the deadline) #foreigninvestmentcontrol #outboundinvestment #economicsecurity #EESP #nationalsecurity #FDI #foreigninvestment #exportcontrols
Our work on outbound investments continues 🐢 but surely. We just posted the agenda & report of the last meeting with experts from the #eu Member States. Don't forget to reply to our public consultation, closing on 17 April. Your voice counts! 🔉 https://lnkd.in/eax_Myug

There is a genocide going on. The Only Role That Matters Now Is Speaking Out. #Palestine will be free.
The folk who want to Britain to be better - serious questions: 1. Many of you have a strong ethical view of what Britain should be about - inclusive, helping and protecting the most vulnerable, fair, being heartful in the UK and outside. Is this accurate? 2. Those views are at odds with how Britain currently makes money - both domestically and by export - either directly or indirectly. So those values are incompatible with its economic plans. Can those ever be compatible? 3. If you cannot change Britain, are you willing to change country and live somewhere closer to your values. There are countries that are doing better - Ireland, Finland are just two that come to mind - not many I admit, but more than none. My view is that the UK is now in the wilderness for a bit. It has terrible leadership options and serious democratic flaws that affect it changing that anytime soon. British politics is attracting the worse personalities right now - actively supported by a corrupt media (which has an unofficial role in keeping democracy honest and healthy and which they now cannot do). It is not surprising. Party systems are prone to infiltration, especially those that are allowed to take donations (and therefore the opinions of their donors). MPs with multiple jobs and little real oversight about additional interests are also a weak point. The ease with which lies and hate speech can be uttered without real consequence by politicians is unbelievable. All these and more will take time and concerted effort to address. Time is not something anyone can control and I am just not seeing the willingness to put in the effort. Doing that requires the institutions of the UK to show some humility and admit flaws and failures. It takes a monumental private effort to get that in other arenas - policing , adoption services, the horrific Post Office scandal are all examples of this. Thoughts?

Director of Global Intelligence Knowledge Network / Retired Intelligence Officer at Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) | Service canadien du renseignement de sécurité (SCRS)
🔍 Are former Canadian Politicians at risk to foreign interference?: A Cautionary Tale 🌐🇨🇦 In the wake of recent revelations in Australia, where the Director-general of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) disclosed that a former politician had been cultivated and recruited by a foreign power, it raises pertinent questions about the vulnerability of political figures to foreign interference. See the following Al Jazeera article https://lnkd.in/eYfwgamJ 🌏 The parallels to Canada are uncanny, especially amid the ongoing public inquiry into foreign interference. As we contemplate the possibility of politicians being cultivated and manipulated, it's essential to reflect on our own political landscape. The current inquiry into foreign interference is outward looking in regard to which countries are trying to influence Canadian politics, however, what former politicians are selling out the country by allowing themselves to be cultivated and recruited? 🤔 Are Canadian politicians at risk of being influenced by foreign powers? The Australian case prompts us to consider the potential dangers that may lurk within our political circles. The inquiry, examining the involvement of former Canadian politicians in maintaining influence through family and friends, adds urgency to this concern. 🔍 Should the Canadian Intelligence Community be scrutinizing those in power to ensure the sanctity of our political and electoral systems? The Australian spy chief's call to expose foreign interference resonates globally, emphasizing the need for proactive measures in safeguarding national interests. 🔒 In a world where foreign intelligence units strategically target those with access to privileged information, it becomes imperative for Canada to assess the vulnerability of its political elite. The interconnectedness of global politics underscores the importance of vigilance. 👀 As the public inquiry unfolds, it beckons us to question whether individuals in power might be unwittingly or knowingly facilitating access to our political system. Should we, like Australia, be proactive in unearthing potential threats within our political ranks? For more on ASIO and their actives go to https://lnkd.in/eSh23vZB 🗣️ Join the conversation! What steps do you think Canada should take to safeguard against foreign interference in politics? #ForeignInterference #CanadianPolitics #NationalSecurity #IntelligenceCommunity #PublicInquiry #StayVigilant 🍁
