Questions 2537 - 2563 Witnesses I: Michel Barnier, Chief Negotiator, European Commission, and Sabine Weyand, Deputy Chief Negotiator, European Commission. Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Michel Barnier and Sabine Weyand. Michel Barnier: Welcome once again. You are always welcome. Q2537 Chair: Michel, can I reciprocate on behalf of the Committee? It is very good to see you again. Can I begin by apologising that we had to let you down on the previous date when we were due to meet? We had certain important votes in Parliament that necessitated our attendance. Secondly, can I thank you very much for honouring the commitment you made to us the first time we met, that you would give evidence to the Committee on the record? Because as you are aware, today’s session is being recorded and will be published as an evidence session, so it is a slightly different format from our previous discussions. I understand entirely that you will want to check the English translation of what you said before the minutes are published and we realise that will take— Michel Barnier: Just to check that nothing is lost in translation.

Editorial: Left-Horizons Is Launched More Appetite for Marxist Ideas
Editorial: Left-Horizons is launched More appetite for Marxist ideas than ever before October 16 2017 The Left Horizons website is launched today with the aim of developing and promoting the Marxist strand of opinion within the Labour and trade union movement. Last week, Chris Leslie, Labour MP for Nottingham East, declared in relation to Momentum, that “there is no place for Marxism” inside the Labour Party. Leaving the aside the rather dubious link between Momentum and Marxism, even a cursory study of Labour history will show that there has always been a Marxist strand of opinion within the Party. We welcome the fact that for the first time in generations front bench Labour MPs are happy to describe themselves as “Marxists” or at the very least to pay tribute to Marx’s ideas. In contradiction to Chris Leslie, in our opinion, there should be “no place” in the Labour Party for candidates imposed undemocratically on a Constituency Labour Party, as happened to Nottingham East when Leslie was made the candidate. Neither should there be a place for any Labour MPs to be equivocal on the question of austerity and the living standards of working-class people. When Ed Miliband and Ed Balls lost the 2015 general election for Labour, Chris Leslie was one of those right- wing Labour MPs who implied that the Labour manifesto had at that time been too radical. “We should have done more about welfare reform and public-sector reform”, he said, “not just giving the impression it was all about spending more or less money.” When the Tories were hell-bent on pauperising the disabled by cutting their welfare benefits in July 2015, Chris Leslie was one of those 184 Labour MPs who did not vote against the second reading of the Tories’ Welfare Reform and Work Bill.

Dan Jarvis Mp Summary of Initial Findings
RECONNECTING LABOUR SUMMARY OF INITIAL FINDINGS DAN JARVIS MP KEY POINTS Labour has been in denial for too long about the challenges posed by UKIP. They cost Labour a lot of votes in constituencies we needed to win back from the Tories and they won a lot of votes in Labour heartland seats. There are no quick fixes for stemming the rise of UKIP, but we won’t achieve it by out-UKIPing UKIP or our-Torying the Tories, nor by lurching to the left to make ourselves feel better but do nothing for those who have lost faith in us. We need to revitalise local party engagement, recruit candidates from more representative backgrounds, and make it clear what we stand for as a Party and our policy response must include reassurance on issues like work and immigration, an economic plan to extend opportunity to communities that feel forgotten, a distinct message for older people, and reclaiming our mantle as a patriotic party. 1 INTRODUCTION The first step towards solving any problem is acknowledging that one exists in the first place. Frankly, the devastating nature of the General Election result has presented Labour with no shortage of challenges. Labour didn’t just lose an election on May 7th – we lost our connection with millions of people across the country. As we look to renew and rebuild, we know we need to win back votes from the Tories. But it is also clear they are not the only opponents we need to overcome across England and Wales. Labour needs to tackle UKIP too.

Labour: a Better Future for Women
A BETTER FUTURE FOR WOMEN A BETTER FUTURE FOR WOMEN FOREWORD Labour Party values start from the belief that who you are or where you come from should never hold you back from achieving your potential. We have made great strides in improving equality for women, from the right to vote to the right to equal pay, and Labour has consistently lead this progress. Under the last Labour Government, the gender pay gap closed by almost a third, we opened 3,000 Sure Start Centres, extended maternity leave and introduced paternity leave, and transformed the way that police, prosecutors and courts dealt with cases of domestic violence. But progress for women has never been achieved by sitting back. In the last five years progress to close the gender pay gap has slowed. More women are low paid and on zero-hours contracts. Many families feel that they have never been so stretched. Instead of taking action the Tories have chosen to hit women harder, with women bearing 85 per cent of the impact of tax and benefit changes. Violence against women and girls is a national scandal. Rapes and incidents of domestic violence reported to the police have gone up, but the number of cases prosecuted and convicted has fallen. And there is still much further to go to change a culture that permits everyday sexism. Labour has a better plan for equality for men and women from the shop floor to the boardroom. We’ll do more to help women and men balance families and work through more free childcare.

On Monday, the right hon. and learned Lady claimed that the majority of the Bills The House met at half-past Ten o’clock in the Queen’s Speech would become law before the next election. We have an absolute maximum of 70 sitting PRAYERS days before Dissolution, and we need to set aside time for debates on the pre-Budget report, as well as ensuring that we have time to discuss other issues, such as [MR.SPEAKER in the Chair] Afghanistan. Given all that, does the right hon. and learned Lady still stand by her original claim, or will Business of the House she admit that there may be difficulties in fulfilling the Government’s commitments? Given the limited time we 10.33 am have left, recess dates have an added significance, so is the right hon.

Brace Yourselves – This Election Will See Even More Political Adverts. It Won't Be Pretty
7/10/2019 Brace yourselves – this election will see even more political adverts. It won't be pretty Academic rigour, journalistic flair Subscribe Fourth estate follies Trawling through the dustbins of the UK media Brace yourselves – this election will see even more political adverts. It won’t be pretty February 23, 2015 6.20pm GMT Author John Jewell Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University Sometimes political advertising can backfire. Freakangels.com, CC BY-SA The extraordinary resignation of its chief political editor, Peter Oborne, from the Daily Telegraph has given us cause to think about the importance of corporate influence in journalism and the significance of advertising revenue to newspapers. As these events occurred, the paper’s Ben Riley-Smith was providing us with further proof, if any were needed, that advertising will play a major part in May’s general election. In a Telegraph article which asked whether Britain was entering an “new era” of political attack ads, Riley-Smith drew attention to the fact that the Conservatives had been posting a series of short videos (none of them lasting more than a minute) on YouTube concentrating on Ed Miliband’s supposed https://theconversation.com/brace-yourselves-this-election-will-see-even-more-political-adverts-it-wont-be-pretty-37934 1/5 7/10/2019 Brace yourselves – this election will see even more political adverts. It won't be pretty incompetence and the Labour party’s general untrustworthiness. One, posted on Feb 3, is a 16-second head rush called: “The SNP and Sinn Fein propping up Ed Miliband? Chaos for Britain”.

The IR35 MP Hit List the 100 Politicians Most Likely to Lose Their Seats
The UK's leading contractor site. 200,000 monthly unique visitors. GUIDES IR35 CALCULATORS BUSINESS INSURANCE BANKING ACCOUNTANTS INSURANCE MORTGAGES PENSIONS RESOURCES FREE IR35 TEST The IR35 MP hit list The 100 politicians most likely to lose their seats Last December research conducted by ContractorCalculator identified the MPs for whom it will prove most costly to lose the selfemployed vote, and published the top 20 from each party. The results were based on data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and contractor sentiment indicated by a previous ContractorCalculator survey. The full results of this research are now published, with the top 100 MPs, ordered by risk of losing their seat, due to the Offpayroll (IR35) reforms that Treasury, HMRC and the Chancellor are attempting to push through Parliament. In total, 85 MPs hold a majority in Parliament that would feasibly be overturned if the expected turnout of IR35opposing selfemployed voters from their constituency were to vote against them, and we list the next 15, making 100 in total, that are potentially under threat if the self employed voter turnout is higher than expected. "This single piece of damaging policy could prove catastrophic for all parties involved, not least the Tories, who make up 43% of the atrisk seats,” comments ContractorCalculator CEO, Dave Chaplin. “There is also potentially a lot to gain for some, but those in precarious positions will have to act swiftly and earnestly to win over contractors’ trust.” How we identified the atrisk MPs The research leveraged the data and compared the MPs majority at the last election with the likely number of selfemployed voters in their area who would turn out and vote against them.

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.
