This report is vey worrying indeed from SPERI at Sheffield University.

The U.K. “undeveloping” before our eyes.

See photos then the link to Part 2.
Part 2.

The point at which a country can seek to chart a course out of a development crisis comes when, at last, it grasps the fact that it needs to find itself a new development strategy.  Strategy is the key word.

Useful analysis by Mark Pack of the HUGE YouGov Poll (40k) of voting intentions. Whilst some people say YOUGov stats methods inaccurate, it should be noted that when they used MRP modelling in GE2017 they were pretty spot on, identifying Canterbury and Kensington as Swing seats

These slides from the EU explaining clearly the WA are REALLY helpful.

It methodically unpacks the key timelines and operating areas.

A useful summary by ⁦@SamuelMarcLowe⁩.

Although there has been a few smaller EU 3rd country trade agreements that have agreed to being “rolled over” it should be noted that some (maybe all) are dependent on the WA being passed & apply to transition cer.eu/in-the-press/f…
2/. For instance @CoppetainPU has pointed out that the Swiss FTA “roll over” on current terms applies to transition under the WA. Post transition or if there is a No Deal Brexit with no WA is a different matter altogether.

tradebetablog.wordpress.com/2019/02/05/uk-…
3/. Does @SamuelMarcLowe @CoppetainPU @DavidHenigUK have more detailed information about the other countries that have agreed “roll over” and whether that safety net also applies only to transition under the WA, or do they also extend to a No Deal Brexit or post transition?

@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU Thoughtful & interesting with important insights but must disagree on a number of issues @BrigidLaffan
@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU 1. The U.K. post Brexit cannot avail of the European Arrest Warrant unless there is ECJ oversight- any request would be challenged in EU27 courts. Other areas that involve individual rights are similar @BrigidLaffan
@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU 2. It is really dangerous for the #UK’s future to wrap itself in a punishment narrative-the #EU has not bullied the UK is leaving on a voluntary basis-comfort blanket of EU punishment will prevent the state & society of taking ownership of the choices it has made @BrigidLaffan

OK, here goes.

My current "What happened around pensions, USS & UUK in 2015?" folder. [This follows on from: threadreaderapp.com/thread/9731361…].

Same aim as the one from 2014: to serve the #ucustrike #ussstrike. Please distribute / send additions / corrections.
First, I need to add a couple of missing things to the 2014 timeline. I was trying to find Imperial College London’s response to UUK on USS’s consultation, but the link on their website no longer works. But it has been stored elsewhere. #ucustrike #ussstrikes
25 Nov 2014 [from doc properties] "Imperial College London’s response to UUK on USS’s consultation" warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statis…. They strongly question the assumptions within the model, & argue for greater transparency #ussstrikes #ucustrike Screen shot of page one of document linked to in the tweet

The #USSstrike has got many people thinking for the first time about pension governance, and about the agenda for overhauling the pension system that the left is going to have to pursue in the years ahead. Here's a thread with some useful reading.

#USS #StrikeforUSS #USSstrikes
Great post by @ewanmcg on @LSEpoliticsblog on the context of the #USS strike, issues in #USS governance, and the rent-extraction of financial intermediaries.

blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpol…
And an excellent piece by Christine Berry @oeufling for @openDemocracy @openDemocracyUK on the "hot mess" of the UK pension system and the iniquities of how financial intermediaries are taking us all for a ride:

I am still following UUK, Employers Pension Forum (ucea.ac.uk/en/empres/pens…), Aon around. Still fascinated by how futures are made. #ucustrike #USSstrike
This time I'll excerpt from 2 documents stored on the UUK website: universitiesuk.ac.uk/policy-and-ana… & universitiesuk.ac.uk/policy-and-ana… NB Both still carry a 'confidential' watermark, but there isn't any firewall #ucustrike #ussstrike
We know from recent events that UUK isn't always the most technologically proficient. Maybe they forgot to take the watermark off. Maybe they forgot to put them behind the firewall. Who knows. #ussstrike #ucustrike

This from a Vote Leave staffer got me thinking [THREAD]
It’s fascinating the praise & reward Cameron got for winning the AV Independence referendums /1
I don’t recall critiques from Tory Brexiters of Cameron behaviour during those votes /2
