Biographical Notes:
Sir Nick Harvey is Chief Executive of the European Movement UK. He previously served five terms as Liberal Democrat MP for North Devon, and was Minister of State for Defence in the UK coalition government of 2010.
Since leaving Parliament in 2015, he has worked in in various countries training, advising and mentoring ministers, officials, politicians and political parties, including in Jordan, Egypt and Georgia. These programmes have been variously funded by the British Government, EU and UNDP.
In 2023 he co-authored a book – “Can Parliament take back control?” – calling for radical reform of the British legislature. He has served on Boards in the private, public and charitable sectors in law, education and social reform. Before Parliament, he worked in the City of London in financial communications.
Nick has received positive write-ups from many respected journalists:
“Cerebral and sane” – Jonathan Freedland, The Guardian
“Clever, inscrutable and deep” – Matthew Parris, The Times
“Self-deprecating but highly popular” – George Parker, Financial Times
“A bright strategist and debater” – Marie Woolf, The Independent
Synopsis
“The return of Donald Trump to the White House has thrown the world into turmoil. Decades-old western alliances based on shared values of democracy, a rules-based world order, universal human rights, and collective endeavour to tackle global poverty, security and climate change, now hang by a thread. In Europe, fundamental reappraisal of our collective security must take place at break-neck speed. Strategies we have adopted, procurements we made, and partnerships we formed all assumed that the US would remain the rock of this alliance. Now we see them voting with Russia, Iran and North Korea at the UN, threatening to annex Greenland and Canada, and throwing Ukraine to the wolves.
It is a race against time to get a new security apparatus functioning effectively before Putin crusades further into Europe. The UK must be clear where we stand in this and commit to it fully. We are part of Europe. European security is our security, just as it has been throughout the centuries. We must be front and centre of this effort. And in doing that, who knows… perhaps we can find our way back into the European family of nations in economics and politics as well.
