  • Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

  • The Smokescreen Budget in the House of Commons Library George Osborne’S Claim That His Is a One Nation Budget Should Ensure Its Being Placed in the Fiction Section
    The Smokescreen Budget In the House of Commons Library George Osborne’s claim that his is a One Nation budget should ensure its being placed in the Fiction Section. Low-paid basic workers did not (for political purposes) exist, or had no right to exist, or could live on thin air. Yet it is on these that the world’s life finally depends. In the book of Ecclesiasticus, 38, the honour due to the doctor and the intellectual are duly acknowledged. The question is then raised ‘whose work sustains the fabric of the world’ – keeps its essential life going from one day to another. The answer is the basic worker. It is a twisted society which does not acknowledge and honour that. Osborne’s is the budget of a twisted society, as far from reality as is Alice in Wonderland. When, in a budget speech, a smokescreen is deliberately put in place, the wise will peer underneath to see what realities are being concealed. How is this done? Osborne used shock tactics. A Tory budget anticipating a living wage of £9 an hour! – enough to distract the attention of the unwary from the nitty-gritty substance! Yet, even at that point, awkward thoughts might have caused the wary to pause. One is that this will cost the government nothing. Another is that, if, at one fell swoop, the government could establish a living wage in the future why was this not done when basic wages were so low as to leave workers living on the margins. A third is that the target is distant enough, so that, by the time the date is reached, it may amount to no more than a minimum wage arrangement.

  • Why Journalism Matters a Media Standards Trust Series
    Why Journalism Matters A Media Standards Trust series Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times The British Academy, Wednesday 15 th July These are the best of times and the worst of times if you happen to be a journalist, especially if you are a business journalist. The best, because our profession has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to report, analyse and comment on the most serious financial crisis since the Great Crash of 1929. The worst of times, because the news business is suffering from the cyclical shock of a deep recession and the structural change driven by the internet revolution. This twin shock has led to a loss of nerve in some quarters, particularly in the newspaper industry. Last week, during a trip to Colorado and Silicon Valley, I was peppered with questions about the health of the Financial Times . The FT was in the pink, I replied, to some surprise. A distinguished New York Times reporter remained unconvinced. “We’re all in the same boat,” he said,”but at least we’re all going down together.” My task tonight is not to preside over a wake, but to make the case for journalism, to explain why a free press and media have a vital role to play in an open democratic society. I would also like to offer some pointers for the future, highlighting the challenges facing what we now call the mainstream media and making some modest suggestions on how good journalism can not only survive but thrive in the digital age. Let me begin on a personal note.

Report designed by the Centre for Communicating Knowledge at Ryerson University (excluding cover page). www.altausterity.mcmaster.ca Updating Austerity in the United Kingdom | Introduction Superficially, all appears well with the United Kingdom (UK) economy. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has forecast the UK to be the fastest growing economy among the Group of Seven (G7) major industrialised economies in 2016, with growth of 1.8%, slightly above the G7 average of 1.6%. In the three months to August 2016, there were 31.81 million people in work, including 3.45 million non‐UK nationals, or 74.5% of the 16‐64 population eligible for employment, the joint highest figure since comparable records began in 1971. Unemployment is 4.9% of the workforce, or technically full employment. In August 2016, 1000 people took strike action, the lowest figure since records began in January 1986.

  • Mundella Papers Scope
    University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 6 - 9, MS 22 Title: Mundella Papers Scope: The correspondence and other papers of Anthony John Mundella, Liberal M.P. for Sheffield, including other related correspondence, 1861 to 1932. Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson.

After education at a National School he entered the hosiery trade, ultimately becoming a partner in the firm of Hine and Mundella of Nottingham. He became active in the political life of Nottingham, and after giving a series of public lectures in Sheffield was invited to contest the seat in the General Election of 1868. Mundella was Liberal M.P. for Sheffield from 1868 to 1885, and for the Brightside division of the Borough from November 1885 to his death in 1897.
