  • Serious Anti-Semitism Problem', Peers Warn
    AVRASYA İNCELEMELERİ MERKEZİ CENTER FOR EURASIAN STUDIES LABOUR HAS 'SERIOUS ANTI-SEMITISM PROBLEM', PEERS WARN - 28.04.2016 28.04.2016 BBC The Labour Party has a "serious problem" with anti-Semitism, a senior Labour peer has warned. Lord Levy told BBC Newsnight he believed anti-Semitism existed across the political divide, but it seemed "more prominent" within Labour. It follows the party's decision to suspend MP Naz Shah from the party over comments about Israel on social media, pending an investigation. Ms Shah has made a "profound apology" in the Commons for her remarks. The MP for Bradford West has been widely criticised for Facebook posts she made before she became an MP, in which she suggested, among other things, that Israel should be moved to the United States. 'Hard left' Lord Levy, who was Tony Blair's envoy and chief fundraiser, told the BBC her comments displayed "ignorance", and he was left "scratching his head with despair as to how people like this can enter our parliament with such a lack of knowledge, discretion and sensitivity". His comments were echoed by cross-bench peer Baroness Neuberger, who claimed Labour's problem of anti-Semitism was "attached to Jeremy Corbyn becoming leader", and added that it was "an issue with the hard left". Labour has faced claims of growing anti-Semitism in its ranks. Earlier this year a Labour Luton councillor was suspended from the party after claiming Hitler was the "greatest man in history". Jeremy Corbyn has insisted anti-Semitism will not be tolerated but some of his MPs say the party leadership is not doing enough to stamp it out.

  • Douglas Oakervee Independent Chair, Oakervee Review Department for Transport Albany House 94-98 Petty France London SW1H 9EA
    Douglas Oakervee Independent Chair, Oakervee Review Department for Transport Albany House 94-98 Petty France London SW1H 9EA Dear Douglas Oakervee Review Submission from Greater Manchester Parliamentarians As members of the Greater Manchester All Party Parliamentary Group (GM APPG) we wanted to welcome your review on the future of HS2 and to ensure that the collective views of Greater Manchester Parliamentarians are considered and taken on board. Greater Manchester MPs of all parties work collaboratively to provide a strong voice for the city- region in Westminster, working alongside the Mayor and local business and political leaders to help maximise future investment and growth for the benefit of the communities throughout Greater Manchester. We want to emphasise the following key points: After decades of underinvestment in strategic rail infrastructure and transport in the North, HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, if combined with a clear commitment to much needed investment in our intra city transport networks, will provide the basis for a once-in-a-generation programme to secure the levels of investment and productivity in our northern cities that is essential to transform the North’s economic output and the life chances of residents here. Given the scale of the challenge to rebalance and level-up the UK, the GMAPPG strongly believes that choices cannot be made between HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail. Only by delivering the two initiatives together, as a future strategic rail network can we achieve the transformational economic outcomes that we share with Government. In making our case we would urge your team to consider the following points: • The full and timely delivery of Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) and HS2 Phase 2b is central to Greater Manchester’s wider ambitions for the role of rail in city-region growth.

  • Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London, SW1A 2HQ
    Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London, SW1A 2HQ 29th August 2019 Dear Sajid, We are writing to you as MPs with school sixth forms, sixth form colleges and FE colleges in our constituencies to ask that you prioritise investment in 16 to 18 education in the forthcoming spending round. The Institute for Fiscal Studies reports that education funding for 16 to 18 year olds “has seen the biggest squeeze of all stages of education for young people in recent years”. This is having a serious impact on students. A recent survey of schools and colleges for the Raise the Rate campaign found that: • 78% have reduced student support services or extra-curricular activities as a result of funding pressures – with significant cuts to mental health support, employability skills and careers advice • 51% of schools and colleges have dropped courses in modern foreign languages, with A levels in German, French and Spanish the main casualties • 38% have dropped STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) courses The underinvestment in sixth form education is bad for students, bad for social mobility and bad for the economy. A central aim of the Industrial Strategy is to help young people to develop the skills they need to do the high-paid, high-skilled jobs of the future. The post-Brexit economy will be driven by leaders, scientists, technicians, engineers and others that will all pass through the pivotal phase of 16 to 18 education, so we must ensure that it is properly funded. We urge you to use the spending review to implement the first recommendation in A ten-year plan for school and college funding - the report published by the Education Committee in July - which is to “urgently address underfunding in further education by increasing the base rate from £4,000 to at least £4,760, rising in line with inflation.” This is the only way to ensure that schools and colleges can increase student services to minimum required levels, protect minority subjects and reverse the decline in extra-curricular activities and work experience.

  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline
