Kehila is brought to you by The Mosaic community magazine | Monthly November 2018 Ian Austin MP Tuesday, 39 Bessborough Rd, 13th November Harrow, Middx at 8pm HA1 3BS Hear Ian Austin speak about his experiences as a Labour Party Member of Parliament in this period of uncertainty. In 1939 Ian’s father, Fred, arrived in the UK as a ten-year-old Jewish refugee from what was then Czechoslovakia. He was the only member of his family to survive – his mother and sisters were murdered in Treblinka. Ian is a supporter of Labour Friends of Israel, a member of the Jewish Labour Movement and has worked closely with the Holocaust Educational Trust, helping secure Government funding for their ‘Lessons from Auschwitz’ project in 2006. Ian has been the MP for Dudley North since 2005. Refreshments available Tickets can be booked through the Synagogue office 020 8864 0133 at £10 per head (£12 on the door) or via the Mosaic website.

    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.

    BRIEFING PAPER Number 06579, 11 March 2020 Parliamentary Private Compiled by Secretaries to Prime Sarah Priddy Ministers since 1906 This List notes Parliamentary Private Secretaries to successive Prime Ministers since 1906. Alex Burghart was appointed PPS to Boris Johnson in July 2019 and Trudy Harrison appointed PPS in January 2020. Parliamentary Private Secretaries (PPSs) are not members of the Government although they do have responsibilities and restrictions as defined by the Ministerial Code available on the Cabinet Office website. A list of PPSs to Cabinet Ministers as at June 2019 is published on the Government’s transparency webpages. It is usual for the Leader of the Opposition to have a PPS; Tan Dhesi was appointed as Jeremy Corbyn’s PPS in January 2020. Further information The Commons Library briefing on Parliamentary Private Secretaries provides a history of the development of the position of Parliamentary Private Secretary in general and looks at the role and functions of the post and the limitations placed upon its holders. The Institute for Government’s explainer: parliamentary private secretaries (Nov 2019) considers the numbers of PPSs over time. www.parliament.uk/commons-library | intranet.parliament.uk/commons-library | [email protected] | @commonslibrary Parliamentary Private Secretaries to Prime Ministers since 1906 Prime Minister Parliamentary Private Secretary Notes Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman (1905-08) Herbert Carr-Gomm 1906-08 Assistant Private Secretary Herbert Asquith (1908-16) 1908-09 Vice-Chamberlain of

    A New Era in Politics? the Independent Group and What This Means for Brexit

    A new era in politics? The Independent Group and what this means for Brexit Sometimes Brexit feels like the Hotel California – you can’t ever truly leave it behind. As my plane left the ground last Friday for some much needed time in the sun (I think the entire office is rather envious of Professor De Ruyter’s sunny days and balmy evenings in Australia!) Brexit was the last thing on my mind. Yet, thanks to free roaming (courtesy, ironically, of the EU’s “roam like at home” regulation[1]) on Monday morning up pops a notification on my phone informing me that 7 MPs had resigned the Labour whip. This followed the shock announcement a day earlier that Honda would close its Swindon factory and fevered speculation over whether Brexit might have been a factor. In any event, by midday on Monday it was clear that the ghost of Brexit present had resurfaced to haunt me 2000 miles away, although I have to confess that cogitating on the subject whilst sunning myself on a beach is preferable to doing so on a cold, dark morning in Birmingham! There is, of course, a danger in assuming that Brexit is responsible for everything, and this applies to politics at least as much as it applies to business and economics. Certainly in the case of those MPs leaving the Labour Party, it’s clear that Brexit was just one factor precipitating the move, although it might well have been the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. A more general dissatisfaction with the direction of the Labour Party and the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn appear to have been the underlying motivating factors at play.
