  • Draft Letter to the Prime Minister
    HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDO sw 1A OAA Rt. Hon. David Cameron MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A2AA Dear Prime Minister, As Members of Parliament for Staffordshire, we write to express our deep concern at the withdrawal of 3rd Battalion, the Mercian Regiment (The Staffards) from the Order of Battle. The Battalion has a proud history which can be traced back to its first raising at the King's Head Inn, Lichfield, in 1705. It served in Martinique, South Africa, Flanders, Gallipoli, Anzio and Arnhem. More recently, photographs of 3 Mercian fighting in Basra, became defining images of the Iraq campaign. We all recognise the difficult financial climate and the constraints that imposes on the Ministry of Defence. We understand that savings must be made. However, we also know that the decision to withdraw 3 Mercian will be distressing for all those currently serving, particularly those that might face redundancy, for their families and for those former Staffards who proudly recall their service. We know that it is the responsibility of the Mercian Regiment, as reorganised, to decide how best to reflect its history and antecedents. But as there is no longer any senior former Stafford serving on its staff, we hope that you will do all you can to encourage the Regiment to preserve and cherish the symbols, traditions and heritage of 3 Mercian within its ranks. 2 Mercian is known now as the Worcester and Sherwood Foresters as a result of previous amalgamations and we hope that a similar formula can be found to remember the Staffords.

  • Letter 13 October 2016 to Rt Hon Boris Johnson, Foreign Secretary
    International Development Committee House of Commons, London, SW1 A OAA • Tel: 020 7219 1223 Email: [email protected] Website: www.parliament.uk/indcom From Stephen Twigg MP, Chair Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Foreign and Commonwealth Office 13 October 2016 Follow-up to emergency debate on Syria and Aleppo Dear Boris, Further to the debate on Tuesday on 'Aleppo and Syria' I am writing to seek detailed answers to questions I raised. These questions arise from the International Development Committee's work. I am copying in Priti Patel and Amber Rudd as some of my questions relate to DFID and Home Office responsibilities. You may be aware the Committee published a Report on the Syrian refugee crisis in January of this year. 1 We recommended the Government should resettle 3,000 unaccompanied children from Europe in addition to the commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees from the region (para 63). It should also carry out resettlement quickly (para 65). In May 2016 in response to the amendments put forward by Lord Dubs to the Immigration Bill the Government announced that "Unaccompanied asylum-seeking children will be resettled from Greece, Italy and France" .2 The Immigration Act 2016 contained commitments that: 1. The Secretary of State must, as soon as possible after the passing of this Act, make arrangements to relocate to the United Kingdom and support a specified number of unaccompanied refugee children from other countries in Europe. 2. The number of children to be resettled under subsection (1) shall be determined by the Government in consultation with local authorities.

  • ANDREW MARR SHOW 9TH JUNE 2019 ESTHER MCVEY AM: Do You
    1 ESTHER MCVEY ANDREW MARR SHOW 9TH JUNE 2019 ESTHER MCVEY AM: Do you think, Esther McVey, that it makes a difference that you have a very different background – you didn’t go to Eton and all the rest of it – how would it feel different to have a woman of your background leading the Conservative Party? EM: Well, our party is a broad church. It always has been. It’s about meritocracy. And for me, our party’s also about social mobility. It’s about anybody can come from anywhere and achieve the highest post in the land, so long as they are prepared to work hard enough, so long as they can get a good team together and so long as you’ve got a vision that reaches out to the country. And that’s why I’m travelling the country all the time as part of a pub road show with blue collar Conservatives to really hear what people want us to do. Once we’ve delivered Brexit, what do they want after that? And they want money in schools, they want money going to police and they also, which I’ve announced today, is the public sector pay guarantee, because people want to know that they’re going to have a fair crack of the whip too. AM: But we’re not there yet. We’re not out of the EU yet. And your position on that is essentially that there’s not going to be another negotiation, they’re not really going to renegotiate, so we have to be prepared to leave at the end of October with no deal, if necessary.

  • Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
    Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times.
