This is a priority for the council—an absolute priority. It expects to receive Monday 8 February 2010 the advice on 22 February. Thereafter, it expects to make a decision in early March. It is a priority and the council is moving as quickly as it can, consistent—this The House met at half-past Two o’clock is the point I made earlier—with trying to ensure that it deals not only with mephedrone, but the whole generic group, so we will not be fooled by the manufacturers’ PRAYERS shifting around. [MR.SPEAKER in the Chair] Dr. Brian Iddon (Bolton, South-East) (Lab): As we consider substances in the cathinone group of chemicals— that includes khat, by the way, which is used by people from the horn of Africa—is there not a danger that, as Oral Answers to Questions we put more and more substances into the ABC classification, we merely displace the problem? There is an endless list of chemicals and natural products that chemists can supply on to the market. Is there not also a HOME DEPARTMENT danger of displacing illicit drug users to using products in the legal market? The Secretary of State was asked— Alan Johnson: I accept that there may be a danger.

Professor Iversen commissioned the ACMD to provide advice on so-called wrote to the Home Secretary on 22 December advising legal highs or new psychoactive drugs. Following receipt that the selling of mephedrone in a form for which it is of the council’s advice, we have banned a number of clearly unintended, as we have heard, substances, including synthetic cannabinoids, such as “could have serious public health implications”. Spice, benzylpiperazine and gamma-butyrolactone—BZP and GBL respectively. As a priority, I am now expecting What action have the Government taken in response to advice from the ACMD on the cathinone group of Professor Iverson’s advice? drugs, including mephedrone. Alan Johnson: Professor Iversen’s advice is in the Mr. Goodwill: Does the Home Secretary share my context of the work of the ACMD. His letter to me on concern that the purveyors of those pernicious preparations 22 December pointed out that that is why this matter is can often be one step ahead of the authorities, either by the council’s priority. We will receive its advice and reformulating the molecules slightly or by marketing guidance before we take action. That is the correct them as, for example, plant food? sequence of events. Alan Johnson: I do. That is why it is very important to get a generic classification, so that we can cover whole Student Visas (Fraud) areas and not allow the manufacturers of those drugs to shift around. We can actually make illegal a whole range and classification of those drugs. 2. David T.C. Davies (Monmouth) (Con): What steps he is taking to reduce levels of fraud in relation to Mr. David Jones: There is growing concern in north student visas. [315830] Wales over the increasing use of mephedrone, which as the Secretary of State knows is a substance related to The Minister for Borders and Immigration (Mr. Phil ecstasy, and which is readily available on the internet, Woolas): We introduced the points-based system where it is marketed as plant food.

Previously there was not a sponsored licence [315831] system. The great advantage of the points-based system is that we can now hold not just the student to account, The Minister for Policing, Crime and Counter-Terrorism but the sponsor too.

We have had to suspend tier 4 day? When are the Government going to stop their applications in three such posts. We will reopen those knee-jerk reaction every time a problem arises—saying posts for applications as soon as possible, and we intend that a new law is required—and have a policy of removing to lay out the findings of the new review as soon as unwanted and unnecessary legislation? possible. Mr. Hanson: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for Chris Grayling (Epsom and Ewell) (Con): Back in reminding us of the number of criminal justice Acts November, the Minister said: that this Government have introduced. Perhaps he would include among the pieces of legislation that he would “We have clamped down on student visas now and we have a wish us to review the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which much better system.” allows new evidence for serious crimes, and introduces What has changed since then? new sentences for murder, sexual and violent offences, and DNA fingerprints, bringing 37 killers and 90 rapists Mr. Woolas: The hon.

  • The Effect of Observable Party Cohesion on Voter Choice in Liberal Democracies
    PhD in Political Science The effect of observable party cohesion on voter choice in liberal democracies. Candidate David Jack Barrett Supervisor Michael Gallagher September 2017 2 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Date Signature 3 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the help of a large number of people, and I would like to take the opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude to them. First, my supervisor Michael Gallagher has truly been extraordinarily helpful, providing comments and feedback at every point in the last four years, often at quite short notice. His encouragement and advice both on this thesis, but also in teaching and to attending conferences has always been wonderful. Certainly no one could have asked for a more patient and forgiving supervisor. This thesis would have been impossible without the financial support provided by the Irish Research Council (IRC) and by the Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin. My work is deeply in the debt of many scholars. James Davidson in the University of Exeter though, especially, provided me with much of the data used in Chapter Five in this thesis that he had gathered for his own research, and answered my endless questions regarding it, without which this research would have been impossible.

  • 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.

  • Political Performance and Leadership Persona
    This article is a contribution to an emerging scholarship on the role of rhetoric, persona and celebrity, and the effects of performance on the political process. We analyse party leader Ed Miliband at the UK Labour Party Conference in Manchester in 2012. Our analysis identifies how, through performance of ‘himself’ and the beginnings of the deployment of an alternative party narrative centred on ‘One Nation’, Ed Miliband began to revise his ‘received persona’. By using a range of rhetorical and other techniques, Miliband began to adapt the Labour narrative to the ‘personalized political’. The article sets out the theoretical framework for the analysis and returns to the implications for the theory of leadership performance in its conclusion. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF RELATED STUDIES SINCE JOHN Corner’s identification (2000) of three modes of leadership performance (iconic, vocal and kinetic) and John Street’s 2004 article on celebrity politicians. At a developed theoretical level, this research has grown in reaction to – though, in fact, it complements – both economic and sociological approaches to the study of politics: namely, what political actors do in the political arena and how they persuade other actors and the wider public to agree or to act are crucial to how politics works and are severely under researched areas. THEORETICAL CONTEXT: RHETORIC, PERSONA AND CELEBRITY Alan Finlayson (2002) has analysed the self‐presentation of former UK Labour prime minister Tony Blair through style, appearance and language, and the creation of an imagined intimacy between Blair and his audience. Finlayson analyses a range of party broadcasts (1994–2001) indicative of what he terms New Labour’s populism, a populism displayed and mobilized through the construction of the character, Tony Blair.

    FABIAN SOCIETY The Fabian Society is Britain’s leading left of centre think tank and political society, committed to creating the political ideas and policy debates which can shape the future of progressive politics. With over 300 Fabian MPs, MEPs, Peers, MSPs and AMs, the Society plays an unparalleled role in linking the ability to influence policy debates at the highest level with vigorous grassroots debate among our growing membership of over 7000 people, 70 local branches meeting regularly throughout Britain and a vibrant Young Fabian section organising its own activities. Fabian publications, events and ideas therefore reach and influence a wider audience than those of any comparable think tank. The Society is unique among think tanks in being a thriving, democratically-constituted membership organisation, affiliated to the Labour Party but organisationally and editorially independent. For over 120 years Fabians have been central to every important renewal and revision of left of centre thinking. The Fabian commitment to open and participatory debate is as important today as ever before as we explore the ideas, politics and policies which will define the next generation of progressive politics in Britain, Europe and around the world.

  • LSE Review of Books: Book Review: a Woman's Work by Harriet Harman
    LSE Review of Books: Book Review: A Woman’s Work by Harriet Harman Page 1 of 3 Book Review: A Woman’s Work by Harriet Harman In A Woman’s Work, Britain’s longest-serving female MP Harriet Harman offers a new memoir reflecting on her experience of high-level politics and the recent history of the Labour Party from the late 1970s to the present. Despite a small number of notable omissions, this is a valuable addition to the genre of political autobiography that puts women’s lived experience and the continuing fight for gender equality at its centre, writes Emma Lundin. If you are interested in this book review, you may also like to listen to a recording of Harriet Harman participating in a LSE Literary Festival 2017 panel on ‘Women in Work: An Unfinished Revolution?’, speaking alongside Katrine Marçal, Lieutenant Commander Alexandra Pollard and Dr Nicola Rollock on 23 February 2017. A Woman’s Work. Harriet Harman. Allen Lane. 2017. Find this book: In what we can hope is a lasting trend, there has been a lot of interest in books that restore female politicians’ lives and experiences to the historical record over the past year. Alongside historian Laura Beers’s Red Ellen: The Life of Ellen Wilkinson, Socialist, Feminist, Internationalist, journalist Sophy Ridge’s The Women Who Shaped Politics and Labour MP Rachel Reeves’s Alice in Westminster: The Political Life of Alice Bacon sits Harriet Harman’s A Woman’s Work – a rare autobiography written by a woman still involved in high-level politics, and an engaging account of a tumultuous time in the Labour Party’s history.
