Following the Conservative Party’s compelling victory, the Government now holds a majority of 80 seats in the House of Commons. The life sciences sector is high on the Government’s agenda and Boris Johnson has pledged to make the UK “the leading global hub for life sciences after Brexit”. With its strong majority, the Government has the power to enact the policies supportive of the sector in the Conservatives 2019 Manifesto. All in all, this indicates a positive outlook for life sciences during this Government’s tenure.

  • 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prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission.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.

  • Danny Kruger Selected As Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Devizes
    Press Release t (Press) 020 7984 8121 t (Broadcast) 020 7984 8180 f 020 7222 1135 Saturday 9 November 2019 Danny Kruger selected as Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Devizes A close aide of Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been selected as the Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Devizes. Danny Kruger was chosen at a selection meeting at the Corn Exchange in Devizes this afternoon (Saturday), which was attended by over 300 (CHECK) local Conservative members. Danny has been political secretary to the Prime Minister since July 2019 and has previously worked as chief speechwriter to David Cameron when he was Leader of the Opposition and an adviser to former Conservative Party leaders Iain Duncan Smith and Michael Howard. He helped to develop Mr Cameron’s ‘Big Society’ agenda and is keen to promote the same ethos in Devizes, empowering volunteers, businesses and community groups to tackle local issues and challenges. Danny is keen to boost local NHS services, support the police to tackle rural crime, ensure schools get their fair share of increased funding, push for greater infrastructure investment, enhance the rail and bus network and help businesses be more productive. He is a strong supporter of the Armed Forces and wants to ensure the relocation of service families to Wiltshire is a success for everyone. Danny supports Mr Johnson’s determination to get Brexit done as soon as possible and forge a positive new relationship with the EU. “I’m proud and excited to be selected as the Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Devizes and I’m looking forward to knocking on doors, meeting local people and addressing their concerns,” said Danny.

    Proposed cycling and pedestrian improvements on A21 Farnborough Way at Green Street Green Consultation Report October 2013 1 Contents 1. Introduction……………………………………………….….……………………..2 2. The Consultation.................………………………………………………………4 3. Results of the consultation…......………………………………………….......... 4 4. Conclusion………………………………………………………………………….10 Appendix A – copy of consultation letter…………………………..……...….…11 Appendix B – list of stakeholders consulted.……………………………..…….13 2 1 Introduction Background In 2005 a petition with 100 signatures was received by Transport for London (TfL) from Bob Neill (London Assembly Member), asking us to provide a signal controlled crossing on the A21 near the junction with Cudham Lane North. An investigation into providing improved crossing facilities was initiated the same year resulting in a design consisting of a staggered signal controlled crossing which was consulted on in January 2010. Subsequently it was decided that the scheme was not deliverable as collision data for the road was not sufficient to justify the cost of the scheme or impact on general traffic movements. An alternative scheme for addressing pedestrian improvements was subsequently designed (as detailed below). Objectives The proposals are designed to improve pedestrian and cycling accessibility and connectivity around the A21 Green Street Green roundabout and in particular to provide improved pedestrian and cycle links between A21 Farnborough Way and A21 Sevenoaks Way as well as the residential developments in Cudham Lane North and the centre of Green Street Green, without significant impact on general traffic movements. General Scope of proposals The proposals would see the introduction of a new wide uncontrolled pedestrian and cycle crossing facility across A21 Farnborough Way, improvements to the existing crossing facility across Cudham Lane North, and improved shared pedestrian and cycle routes.
