The clock is ticking on another Commons request for a debate within the CRAG scrutiny period.

Olivia O'Sullivan @ChathamHouse Kicking off our second panel, Emily Jones (@ChathamHouse, Blavatnik School of Government) outlines two major economic trends in this year of unprecedented elections:
1️⃣ China and the major shift in the global economy towards China
2️⃣ Economic stagnation facing advanced economies

#CHTrade

Great to see Professor Emily Jones speaking alongside the French Ambasador to the UK (@AmbDuchene) and the UK Ambassador to the EU (@LindsayCAppleby) at the DEFRA The World 2030 seminar about the shifting world order last week.

Read Emily Jones's letter to the @ft today, arguing that strengthening unions and workers' rights doesn't have to undermine economic growth ⬇️

Britain needs to prepare for #trade shocks. #trump2024 and #chinaeconomy . #Services as well as #manufacturing . Excellent discussion at Resolution Foundation with Torsten Bell @sophiehale and Emily Jones

Speaking at our event, Emily Jones highlights the role of social security safety nets in protecting people from trade shocks. She highlights Danish flexicurity as a way to encourage people to retrain and move job sectors, if existing industries are hit by trade shocks.

Associate Professor in Public Policy, Emily Jones, spoke at the Labour Party Conference earlier this week where she argued that effective UK trade policy can help deliver domestic prosperity, levelling up programmes, and net zero goals. 1/3
