'Britain’s relations with its neighbours and the EU: what has changed and what can change?'

Britain’s Labour Party came to power in early July. It was the UK’s first change of government since Brexit and since the upheaval Britain’s departure from the EU caused in relations with its European neighbours. In the coming edition of IIEA Insights, Daithí Ó Ceallaigh and John Peet will assess how Ireland-UK relations have changed and whether Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit position in the EU single market for goods is permanently settled. Britain’s other bilateral relationships with European countries and prospects for closer cooperation with the EU will also be examined.


Daithí Ó Ceallaigh is a former Irish diplomat and chair of the IIEA’s UK group. Among other rolls during his career he served as Ireland’s ambassador to Finland and the UN in Geneva. He was also deeply involved in Ireland-UK relations, culminating in his appointment as ambassador to the UK in 2001. After his retirement from the Department of Foreign Affairs in 2009, he led the IIEA as Director General.

John Peet is The Economist‘s political and Brexit editor. Over his decades-long career at the paper, he has held a range of senior positions, including Europe editor and business affairs editor. He also spent time in Brussels and Washington DC as the paper’s correspondent. Before joining The Economist John was a civil servant.

The new Labour government opens up new opportunities and also faces massive challenges. We will have to wait and see whether the movement can achieve real progress for working people in Britain.

Dealing with the Devil

This week, the United States conducted Ukraine-related diplomacy with Russia, France, and the U.K., while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy travelled to Washington to finalize a critical minerals deal. In the Indo-Pacific, Taiwan is investigating a Chinese ship’s possible role in recent damage to one of its undersea cables, while the Trump administration unveiled sanctions against entities in the Chinese oil industry. In the Middle East, the first phase of hostage and prisoner swaps between Hamas and Israel was completed, and Israel deployed tanks into the West Bank. Global trade escalations continued as U.S. President Donald Trump announced he will impose 25% tariffs on EU imports, drawing promises of retaliation from the bloc, and that he will press ahead with tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China on March 4.

Global Hotspots: US and Ukraine Reach Deal on Critical Minerals

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iYQsbJZWJo&ab_channel=GarlandNixon

Imperialists fight over Ukrainian resources Garland Nixon and Joti Brar Ep30

The revised deal for US access to Ukraine's mineral wealth (with no security guarantees for Kyiv) collapsed in the unseemly Oval Office donnybrook, and European leaders now convene their own summit—faced with the prospect of supporting Ukraine without the US. But Hungary and Slovakia represent an authoritarian bloc that supports Ukraine's betrayal—and Romania could be next to defect to this Russia-aligned bloc. In Europe and America alike, elements of the "tankie" pseudo-left no longer even bother to hide their convergence with MAGA. In Episode 267 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg calls for a clean break at both the international and grassroots levels. Europe must realize that the Atlantic alliance is effectively dead, and there are no prospects of reviving it while Trump is in the White House; whether or not the rumors are true that he was recruited as a KGB agent in the '80s, he is now on Putin's side. And progressives must repudiate pseudo-left misleaders who shill for Trump and and spread lies for Putin, and seek a new leadership that mobilizes to oppose them.
