The country’s decision to leave the European Union has left many in the local tech community questioning the place of the U.K. — and their own — in the global digital economy.
In truth, the Buzzfeed leak doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know. It's a bit less severe than the Treasury analysis from before the referendum, but it's playing in the same sandpit. It's broadly in line, if a little more moderate, than most of the analysis conducted before and after the referendum.
As France is promoting Paris as Europe’s next financial capital and Germany’s Berlin is seeking to attract Britain’s tech talent, here are seven consequences, challenges and opportunities for Malta's economy following the Brexit vote.
Bet365 is reportedly considering relocating its Gibraltar operations to Malta after the UK leaves the European Union (EU).
888 has applied for a gaming licence in Malta due to Brexit uncertainties over Gibraltar. The Gibraltar-based company is concerned about the impact of the UK’s departure from the European Union on the British Overseas Territory, which is home to many of the world’s leading e-gaming and sports betting firms.
Malta’s gaming industry looks set to benefit greatly from Brexit, picking up the business lost by Gibraltar, experts have told The Associated Press.
The European Union has compiled a comprehensive, alphabetical list of every myth peddled about the bloc. From standardised condom sizes and a ban on corgis, to off-licenses being prohibited and ‘Made in Britain’ labels facing the axe, there’s no shortage of fanciful claims and scare stories. And one by one, they’ve explained why the claims are bunkum, nonsense or exaggeration.
In many ways all of this has been an integral part of daily life for EU citizens in the UK since the referendum. What makes it extraordinary now is that over two years have passed and nothing has changed.
In using Churchill to justify his Brexit campaign, Boris Johnson 'paints a barbarically simplified and ill-informed picture of what Churchill stood for'.
Britain should not be forced to accept lower US food standards. But this is only a small part of the harm done by globalisation. What’s wrong with chlorinated chicken? It’s not as if chlorine is absent from our lives: we drink it in our tapwater every day. Surely it’s a small price to pay for the trade deal with the US that the British government seeks?
I was hoping that I wouldn’t need to talk about the incredible, excruciating UK referendum on European Union membership, but as the result has gone to the “leave” campaign, I feel obliged to pick over the wreckage. What does a UK exit from the EU mean for EU space programmes and Galileo in particular?
Brexit means that Britain will lose access to two vital EU satellite programmes. They deliver key communications technologies to power Theresa May’s vision for a 4th industrial revolution. The loss of British participation in Galileo and Copernicus will undoubtedly affect British industry
And it’s not just the town on the iconic white cliffs. The U.K.’s impending divorce from Europe could clog ports across the country.
In the 1990s almost all rubbish in the UK went to landfill. Today nearly half of household waste is recycled, thanks to EU legislation.
The environment is one of the flagship policy areas of the European Union, and is often heralded as being one of the body’s greatest success stories.
Senior MPs including Liam Fox, Andrea Leadsom and Jacob Rees-Mogg have used their expenses to fund a 'party within a party'. / Despite expenses rules stating that MPs cannot claim for research or work “done for, or on behalf of, a political party”, the European Research Group has received over a quarter of a million pounds from MPs who claimed the public cash through their official expenses.
From today onwards, when you hear “EU”, you should think “science and innovation”. The EU has more scientific output than the US, it’s better networked, and its output is growing faster.
The complete list of 759 treaties and international agreements that Britain will lose after Brexit / On Brexit day, Britain will immediately be excluded from hundreds of treaties and agreements signed by the EU. Many of the 759 arrangements listed below — from customs procedures and agricultural quotas, to the landing rights of planes — must be replaced, renegotiated or remade by Brexit Britain.
FT research reveals that agreements with 168 countries must be redone just for Britain to stand still
As director of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, I know what this institution does – and the notion that it can pick up the slack when the UK leaves the EU is nonsense.
The process of leaving the European Union (EU) will have profound consequences for health and the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. In this paper, we use the WHO health system building blocks framework to assess the likely effects of three scenarios we term soft Brexit, hard Brexit, and failed Brexit.
The number of nurses signing up to work in the UK has dropped dramatically. Is it any wonder when Theresa May’s government is so hostile to EU nationals?
More than 55,000 EU nationals work as doctors and nurses in a health service that would collapse without them. In the midst of a severe nursing crisis, what inexplicable stupidity not to give a cast-iron guarantee that all those working in the NHS can stay for ever, welcoming any more who wish to come.
A prolonged economic fallout as a result of Brexit could have a chilling effect on the NHS budget, writes the head of the NHS European Office.
