    UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05772613 Date: 11/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL CONFIDENTIAL October 9, 2010 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Yes, some things: 1. Richard Wolff told me that one of the reasons Jones was summarily executed was payback for dumping Mark Lippert (whom he called "Thing Two," from Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat), McDonough's sidekick (whom Jones calls "Thing One"). Of course, Jones had to go to Obama himself to dispose of Lippert. The true cause was that Thing One and Thing Two were leaking negative stories about Jones. McDonough, naturally, has assumed Donilon's post. Obladi, oblada, as John Lennon (who would have been 70) might say. 2. Shaun Woodward is in the Labour shadow cabinet in his former position as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. Gordon Brown's hatchetman, Charlie Whelan, whose job was to undercut Tony, had worked the unions to vote for Ed Miliband rather than Ed Balls (the one closest to Gordon) in order to beat David--the last scene in the revenge tragedy of Gordon v. Tony. Only 19 percent of the union people voted, but were credited with the full one-third of Labour votes for leader selection, so a minority of a minority threw the election by 1.3 percent to Ed. Then Balls, his wife Yvette Cooper (an MP and former cabinet secretary), and other Brownites ran as a slate for shadow cabinet--the first time the shadow cabinet was to be elected by the constituency. That succeeded to electing them all and shutting out Peter Hain, the former deputy PM, as well as Shaun.

  • New Ministerial Team at the Department of Health
    New Ministerial Team at the Department of Health The Rt Hon Alan Johnson MP Secretary of State for Health Alan Johnson was first elected to Parliament in 1997 as the Member for Kingston upon Hull. A former postman, Alan Johnson served as a former General Secretary of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and is one of the largest trade union names to have entered Parliament in recent decades. Often credited with the much coveted tag of being an "ordinary bloke", he is highly articulate and effective and is credited with the successful campaign that deterred the previous Conservative government from privatising the Post Office. Popular among his peers, Alan Johnson is generally regarded to be on the centre right of the Labour Party and is well regarded by the Labour leadership. As a union member of Labour's ruling NEC (up to 1996) he was seen as supportive of Tony Blair's attempts to modernise the Labour Party. He was the only senior union leader to back the abolition of Labour's clause IV. He becomes the first former union leader to become a cabinet minister in nearly 40 years when he is appointed to the Work and Pensions brief in 2004. After moving to Trade and Industry, he becomes Education and Skills Secretary in May 2006. After being tipped by many as the front-runner in the Labour deputy leadership contest of 2007, Alan Johnson was narrowly beaten by Harriet Harman.

  • Insideout in Defence of Special Advisers: Lessons from Personal Experience
    In Defence of Special Advisers: Lessons from Personal Experience Nick Hillman INSIDE InsideOUT A series of personal perspectives on government eectiveness 9 This essay is dedicated to my children, Ben and Amity, who were born while I was a special adviser. I promise to repay the bedtime stories I missed. 2 InsideOUT InsideOUT In Defence of Special Advisers: Lessons from Personal Experience Nick Hillman InsideOUT 3 TRANSFORMATION IN THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE 2010 interim evaluation report Foreword Nick Hillman’s InsideOUT provides the most valuable recent insight into the work of that most misunderstood Whitehall species – the special adviser. The value lies, first, in being up-to-date when much of the discussion of special advisers goes back to the scandals and battles of the Blair/Brown years; and, second, in being written from the perspective of a department rather than the centre. That is crucial in understanding how advisers operate, particularly in the age of coalition, and how they contribute to the work of their ministers, as opposed to the Prime Minister. You would expect that someone who worked for David Willetts to operate in a less highly charged world than in some of the familiar stab-and-tell accounts of ex-advisers. That is an advantage and allows Hillman to concentrate on the key issues, not just, persuasively, in defence of spads but also in suggesting how the system can be improved. Without repeating all his arguments, I would like to discuss one issue which he highlights – the lack of proper preparation and training. Working in Parliament as chief of staff to a member of the Shadow Cabinet, as Hillman did, can, as he says, feel more like a micro-business than part of a great ship of state.

  • Conceptualising Party Political Ideology
    Conceptualising Party Political Ideology: An Exploration of Party Modernisation in Britain Katharine Dommett Department of Politics Faculty of Social Sciences University of Sheffield A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2012 ‘No statesman can stand the strain of modern political life without the inner serenity that comes from fidelity to a number of guiding convictions. Without their steadying influence he is blown about by every passing breeze. Nor is cleverness and political agility a substitute for them. It has always been for me a painful spectacle when some Labour spokesman tries to justify a piece of Socialist legislation on exclusively “practical” grounds. There are at least two considerations to be kept in mind when making policy. Its applicability to the immediate situation certainly; but also its faithfulness to the general body of principles which make up your philosophy. Without the latter, politics is merely a job like any other’ (Aneuran Bevan, 1952). Acknowledgements In presenting this thesis I would like to thank a number of people to whom I owe an intellectual debt. Numerous individuals within the department and beyond have offered the inspiration, support and perspective which allowed me to produce this work. I would specifically like to thank my supervisor, Colin Hay, who offered invaluable advice and encouragement.

  • Philip May, Husband of Prime Minister May: Yet Another Example of the ‘Cosy Relationship’ Between Government and the Arms Industry
    Philip May, Husband of Prime Minister May: Yet Another Example of the ‘Cosy Relationship’ Between Government and the Arms Industry By Political Concern Region: Europe Global Research, April 23, 2018 Theme: Intelligence Political Concern 22 April 2018 A Liverpool reader draws attention to the news that Philip May, husband of the UK prime minister, works for Capital Group, the largest shareholder in arms manufacturer, BAE Systems, whose share price has soared since the recent airstrikes in Syria. It is alsothe second-largest shareholder in Lockheed Martin – a US military arms firm that supplies weapons systems, aircraft and logistical support. Its shares have also rocketed since the missile strikes last week. Selected evidence of the revolving doors between Whitehall appointments, their family and friends and the ‘defence’ industry in our archives, in chronological order: Admiral Sir John Slater, the former first sea lord, left the military in 1998 and became a director and senior adviser to Lockheed Martin UK. Michael Portillo, the secretary of state for defence from 1995 to 1997, became non- executive director of BAE Systems in 2002 before stepping down in 2006. Lord Reid, secretary of state for defence from 2005 to 2006, said in 2008 that he had become group consultant to G4S, the security company that worked closely with the Ministry of Defence in Iraq. Air Chief Marshal Sir Glenn Torpy, the chief of staff from 2006-2009, retired from the RAF last year and will become senior military adviser to BAE Systems in January. Sir Kevin Tebbit, under-secretary at the MoD, became chairman of Finmeccanica UK, owner of Westland helicopters in 2007 and has a variety of other defence related appointments.

  • From DETR to Dft Via DTLR, What Are the Potential Implications for Transport Planning of These Changes in Departmental Organisation?
    This position paper has been produced with the kind support of the Transport Planning Society through the award of a study bursary to the author. From DETR to DfT via DTLR, what are the potential implications for transport planning of these changes in departmental organisation? Dr Mark Beecroft, Transportation Research Group, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, University of Southampton, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, [email protected] Abstract This essay explores the relationship between transport and environment in government. It focuses upon the creation and eventual break-up of the Department for Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR). It discusses the potential consequences of separation taking into account how the new arrangements under the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DTLR) worked in the year following reorganisation.
