UK government cant trigger article 50 without Parliament's backing

changes nothing in the long run. Just provides more opportunity for sniping and backbiting.

Very entertaining for the rest of us.

He's really gone down in my estimation of late. That dog whistle stuff about freedom of movement is vile.

What the government's plans for a hard Brexit mean for the UK's universities

Researchers and other staff in the UK’s universities did not expect the hard Brexit that now seems probable. If quitting the single market leads to reduced access to EU funding, reduced opportunities for collaborative research as well as difficulty in attracting students and staff from EEA countries, the impact on universities will be severe.

Expect an academic exodus from the UK into Ireland. Some research centres will just collapse without EU funding.

I imagine there are a lot of Irish academics working in the UK who will see this as a reason to go home. Hopefully they decide to do this after I have secured a position of my own here.

Spoke to a somewhat embedded man who lives in england and deals with some of the people who float around these things

he says it'll be a load of theresa may acting tough to retain voters, then loads of negotiations, the next govt will prob run a a referendum that dilutes it.

He was guessing but it makes sense to me.

Research under way to attract UK scientists to Ireland

I heard something on the news yesterday about the affects of BREXIT on Ireland. They were very negative, saying that it's hard to see any upside. The main points were;

- 40k jobs would be lost
- one-third of our exports to the UK would be lost.

Though this has to be bullshit. Not that I question the above 2 points, but we can surely make new trade deals, and BREXIT is bound to create as many jobs as are lost.

And I hear this morning also that Middle Eastern companies who are uncomfortable about the whole Trump-being-a-dirty-racist situation are being invited to consider Ireland as an alternative.
