1 Andrew Marr Show, Jeremy Hunt, Mp
1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, JEREMY HUNT, MP ANDREW MARR SHOW, 30TH JUNE, 2019 JEREMY HUNT, MP Foreign Secretary AM: Now the truth of the matter is, you know, you’re making a bit of progress but you’re still far, far behind Boris Johnson, and that’s partly down to your own use of language. Do you regret calling him a coward? JH: Well what I said is, “don’t be a coward,” because I think it’s a great shame. This is actually the last of your shows before many Conservative Party members will vote, because they’ll be getting their ballot papers in the next few days and he hasn’t been on here, he hasn’t been prepared to do head to head debates with me before people vote and I think people want a contest; I think that’s respectful to members and I think it will be much better for whoever’s Prime Minister to have that had contest first. So I think what we need is a bit of mojo from Bo-Jo. AM: Now you have also said he must be straight with people. Being straight is our motto here today. JH: I’m always straight on your show, Andrew. AM: Of course you are. In that spirit I want to ask about the Hunt spending splurge, because it seems like an awful lot of money. Corporation Tax, your proposals on Corporation Tax would cost about £13 billion, where would that come from? JH: Well we have about £26 billion of headroom at the moment, and this is a very – AM: I thought you’d say that. -

Welcome to the American Enterprise Institute’s live web event on the strategic priorities for the United States and the United Kingdom. My name is Mackenzie Eaglen. I’m a resident fellow here on national security and military budget issues. It’s an honor and a privilege to be joined today by the United Kingdom’s Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace. We’re coming to you from the AEI library today here in Washington, DC. And it’s remarkable to meet again in person, sir, after so long of a break. The Right Hon. Ben Wallace MP was appointed secretary of state for defense in July of 2019. He started his career in the British army, commissioning from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and saw active service in Northern Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, and Central America. He was mentioned in dispatches while on operations in the 1990s. After leaving the army, Secretary Wallace joined the aerospace company QinetiQ, where he gained experience in the defense industry writ large. He first entered politics in 1999 as a member of the Scottish parliament before being elected to the UK House of Parliament in 2005. -

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Holocaust Inversion in British Politics: The Case of David Ward Lesley Klaff INTRODUCTION Antisemitism in Britain is no longer the preserve of the political far right as it was throughout much of the 20th century. It is more commonly found on the left of the political spectrum where it masks itself as anti-Zionism and uses the language of human rights in the “fight for Palestine.”1 The 2006 All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism found that Holocaust inversion— the provocative comparison between the brutal and genocidal Nazi treatment of the Jews with the policies and practices of the Israeli state towards the Palestinians and the associated idea that “the Jews” should have learnt a moral lesson from the Holocaust—is commonplace among the British left and Palestine solidarity groups, particularly during periods of conflict in the Middle East.2 Indeed, the portrayal of Israelis/Zionists/Jews as Nazis was a prominent feature of protests against the Iraq War, Operation Cast Lead, Operation Pillar of Defence, and most recently, Operation Protective Edge. -

Defence Sub-Committee Oral evidence: The Security of 5G, HC 201 Tuesday 30 June 2020 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 30 June 2020. Watch the meeting Members present: Mr Tobias Ellwood (Chair); Stuart Anderson; Sarah Atherton; Martin Docherty-Hughes; Richard Drax; Mr Mark Francois; Mr Kevan Jones; Mrs Emma Lewell-Buck; Gavin Robinson; Bob Seely; Derek Twigg. Questions 184 - 260 Witnesses I: The Rt Hon. Ben Wallace MP, Secretary of State for Defence, The Rt Hon. Oliver Dowden CBE MP, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and Ciaran Martin, Chief Executive Officer, National Cyber Security Centre. Written evidence from witnesses: The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the Ministry of Defence Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Ben Wallace MP, Oliver Dowden MP and Ciaran Martin. Q184 Chair: Welcome to the fourth oral evidence session of our investigation into the study of 5G security in the UK. I am delighted to welcome to this hybrid session the right hon. Ben Wallace MP, Secretary of State for Defence, the right hon. Oliver Dowden, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and Ciaran Martin, chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre. I am pleased that we have two Cabinet members in the room—I think that is a first—although they are at the other end of what is a huge room. You are very welcome indeed. Thank you very much for your time. Ciaran, you are joining us down the line, so hopefully you can hear us as well. We are very conscious that the Government are conducting their own study into the relationship with high-risk vendors, and that that will therefore frame some of your replies today, but I hope you will be as candid as possible, allowing us to explore the wider picture of our security and the development of 5G from a UK perspective. -
