Do you regret calling him a coward? JH: Well what I said is, “don’t be a coward,” because I think it’s a great shame. This is actually the last of your shows before many Conservative Party members will vote, because they’ll be getting their ballot papers in the next few days and he hasn’t been on here, he hasn’t been prepared to do head to head debates with me before people vote and I think people want a contest; I think that’s respectful to members and I think it will be much better for whoever’s Prime Minister to have that had contest first. So I think what we need is a bit of mojo from Bo-Jo. AM: Now you have also said he must be straight with people. Being straight is our motto here today. JH: I’m always straight on your show, Andrew. AM: Of course you are. In that spirit I want to ask about the Hunt spending splurge, because it seems like an awful lot of money. Corporation Tax, your proposals on Corporation Tax would cost about £13 billion, where would that come from?

  • Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
    Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times.

  • 12 May 2021 to the Rt Hon Dominic Raab MP Secretary of State For
    12 May 2021 To The Rt Hon Dominic Raab MP Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs and First Secretary of State. Subject: COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal and a call for urgent support Dear Secretary of State, The executive committee of the Britain-Nepal Academic Council urges the UK government to take urgent action to support the government of Nepal in the face of the humanitarian crisis which is unfolding in Nepal due to the devastating second wave of COVID-19 in South Asia. As the world has watched the tragic impact of India’s second wave, we are concerned that neighbouring Nepal, which is even less prepared, is being overlooked. We write in the wake of the unprecedented yet urgent call for international support issued by the Prime Minister of Nepal, KP Sharma Oli, published in the Guardian on the 10th May [https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/10/nepal-covid-uk- g7] and following our own round-table discussion today on the situation in Nepal involving prominent experts on public health in Nepal and the UK (https://www.bnac.ac.uk/activities/covid-19-nepal/). During our programme Sir Jeremy Farrar, the Director of the Wellcome Trust, described the current situation in Nepal as ‘beyond frightening’. Nepal shares an 1880-kilometre long open border with India, with close cultural, trading and family ties. Thus, the crisis in India has equal resonance across the border in Nepal, and the problems on both sides of the borders need to be tackled simultaneously. The current wave of infections in Nepal is estimated to be just two weeks behind that of India’s.

    Foreign Affairs Committee Oral evidence: Global health security, HC 200 Tuesday 22 June 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 22 June 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Tom Tugendhat (Chair); Stewart Malcolm McDonald; Andrew Rosindell; Henry Smith; Royston Smith; Graham Stringer; Claudia Webbe. Questions 96-152 Witnesses I: Rt Hon. Jeremy Hunt MP, former Foreign Secretary and former Health Secretary. II: Niall Ferguson, historian and commentator. Examination of witness Witness: Rt Hon. Jeremy Hunt MP. Q96 Chair: Welcome to this afternoon’s session of the Foreign Affairs Committee. In a repeat of a few years ago, we have Jeremy Hunt, no longer the Foreign Secretary, before the Committee—I will call you Jeremy if that’s all right, because it would be weird not to. You are unusual in having held two of the great offices that specifically affect global health diplomacy: you were Health Secretary for nearly seven years and Foreign Secretary for nearly two years. Does the UK co- ordinate health and foreign policy well? Jeremy Hunt: I think we do it better than most other countries, but clearly not well enough. The big lesson of the last year is that we are going to have to raise our game massively. When I was Health Secretary, pandemic planning was left entirely to me and very rarely raised at Cabinet level or with the Cabinet Office. We did extensive preparations and planning, but we now know that we over-prepared for flu pandemics and under-prepared for SARS-like pandemics. We clearly did not get it all right.

  • Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States
    The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States Updated April 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33105 SUMMARY RL33105 The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and April 16, 2021 Relations with the United States Derek E. Mix Many U.S. officials and Members of Congress view the United Kingdom (UK) as the United Specialist in European States’ closest and most reliable ally. This perception stems from a combination of factors, Affairs including a sense of shared history, values, and culture; a large and mutually beneficial economic relationship; and extensive cooperation on foreign policy and security issues. The UK’s January 2020 withdrawal from the European Union (EU), often referred to as Brexit, is likely to change its international role and outlook in ways that affect U.S.-UK relations. Conservative Party Leads UK Government The government of the UK is led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party. Brexit has dominated UK domestic politics since the 2016 referendum on whether to leave the EU. In an early election held in December 2019—called in order to break a political deadlock over how and when the UK would exit the EU—the Conservative Party secured a sizeable parliamentary majority, winning 365 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons. The election results paved the way for Parliament’s approval of a withdrawal agreement negotiated between Johnson’s government and the EU. UK Is Out of the EU, Concludes Trade and Cooperation Agreement On January 31, 2020, the UK’s 47-year EU membership came to an end.

  • Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) Decision Notice
    Reference: IC-48534-L8F9 Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) Decision notice Date: 1 April 2021 Public Authority: Cabinet Office Address: 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Decision (including any steps ordered) 1. The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office asking whether their Propriety and Ethics team held any information about non- disclosure agreements (NDAs) between Mr Dominic Raab, Secretary of State for Foreign Commonwealth and Development Affairs and First Secretary of State, and members of the civil service. The complainant was not seeking the details or contents of any such NDAs but rather whether such information was held and the number of such NDAs if held. The Cabinet Office relied on section 40(5) (personal data) of the FOIA 2000 to refuse to confirm or deny whether they held any information falling within scope of the request. 2. The Commissioner has concluded that the Cabinet Office was entitled to rely on section 40(5) to refuse to confirm or deny whether they held any information falling within scope of the request. However, the Commissioner also finds that, in failing to issue a refusal notice within 20 working days, the Cabinet Office breached section 17(1) of the FOIA. 3. The Commissioner does not require any further steps. 1 Reference: IC-48534-L8F9 Background 4. On 30 January 2011, The Mail On Sunday published an article about Mr Dominic Raab MP, entitled ‘Payout for Woman Who Claimed Workplace Bullying Under Raab’.

  • 20 Visions for Europe: 'Buccaneering Brexit Versus European Civilisation'
    20 Visions for Europe: ‘Buccaneering Brexit versus European civilisation’ DISCLAIMER: All opinions in this column reect the views of the author(s), not of EURACTIV.COM Ltd. 20 Visions for Europe: Philippe Van Parijs This article is part of our special report 20 Visions for Europe. xssmmdlg This essay is published as part of the project 20 Visions for Europe, gathering unique visions from public ocials, intellectuals, artists, diplomats, athletes, civic actors and business representatives. The project is part of EURACTIV’s celebration of 20 years of free, independent reporting with European values at its core. The partner of the project is Stars4Media. Philippe Van Parijs is a guest professor at the Universities of Louvain and Leuven and a Robert Schuman Fellow at the European University Institute (Florence). The European project is an ambitious, unprecedented civilizing enterprise. Partly thanks to the single market that formed its core, it managed to tame nationalist passions and stabilize democracies. But the single market has also been eroding the member states’ capacity to protect its citizens and curb inequalities. If a fatal backlash is to be avoided, the civilising enterprise must develop resolutely its caring dimension, address economic insecurity and halt the growth of inequality. Will Brexit make this easier? It might. But it is more likely to make this more dicult, even impossible if it is made as soft as it can be. Why? Twenty years ago, William Hague, then leader of the conservative opposition, delivered the following message to the Confederation of British Industry: “In the next millennium, nations will compete with each other for the lightest regulations, the lowest taxes and the most business.

I also welcome you, Minister; it is nice to see you back. I shall just explain what this Committee has been engaged in recently. The Government’s manifesto stated their intention to scrap the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. It also promised to curtail the role of the European Court of Human Rights. Since then, we know that the Government have given much thought to what a Bill of Rights might contain and have undertaken to consult on it before issuing a draft, but we have still seen no consultation paper.
