Welcome to the IEA Podcast. The Institute of Economic Affairs is the UK’s original free market think tank, founded in 1955. Our mission is to improve understanding of the fundamental institutions of a free society by analysing and expounding the role of markets in solving economic and social problems. Given the current economic challenges facing Britain and the wider global environment, it is more vital than ever that we promote the intellectual case for a free economy, low taxes, freedom in education, health and welfare and lower levels of regulation. We hope you enjoy listening!

What next for the Northern Ireland Protocol?
Friday Oct 15, 2021
Friday Oct 15, 2021
The European Union has set out its proposals to change the Northern Ireland Protocol after the Brexit Minister, Lord Frost, announced in Lisbon earlier this week that the UK will trigger Article 16 if changes to the agreement are not made.
The protocol was designed to prevent checks along the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, following Brexit. But since it came into force at the start of 2021, it has prompted disagreements between the UK and EU because it has disrupted trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
IEA Communications and Marketing Assistant, Kieran Neild Ali, sat down with Victoria Hewson, who is Head of Regulatory Affairs at the IEA, to discuss the Northern Ireland Protocol. They discussed the origins of the Northern Ireland Protocol, the constitutional and economic problems with the agreement and what the future holds for UK-EU relations.
