'Don't Take Ethnic Votes for Granted' 10 News: Labour party conference October 4, 2013 • www.easterneye.eu • Like us on www.facebook.com/easterneye Minority report by MPs ‘DON’T TAKE ETHNIC VOTES FOR GRANTED’ by IMRAN CHOUDHURY SENIOR Labour politicians have urged black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) members to stand as candidates in future elections as they called for the party to be more representative of its supporters. Among the ethnic minority MPs, 15 are from Labour while the ruling Con- servative party has 11. Together they make up just four per cent of the House of Commons. At a fringe event at the Labour party conference in Brighton last week, MPs Keith Vaz, Sadiq Khan and Chukka Umunna ad- dressed an audience compris- ing prospective parliamentary candidates (PPC), council candi- dates and members. Shadow justice secretary and Tooting MP Khan said: “Those of you who aren’t yet council candidates for your constituency or candidates for Europe- an parliamentary seats, why, why aren’t you? Be- cause there is no monopoly on talent.” Khan, who earlier this year was named shadow minister for London and has recently spoken of his intention to run for London mayor in 2016, has the audience that the Labour party people like us in parliament, in your coun- Umunna said he understood how important been tasked by party leader Ed Miliband with win- will not be taking the ethnic vote for cil chamber, in your assembly, then mentoring was for aspiring Labour members, and ning seats in London over the next 18 months in granted.

  • One Nation: Power, Hope, Community
    one nation power hope community power hope community Ed Miliband has set out his vision of One Nation: a country where everyone has a stake, prosperity is fairly shared, and we make a common life together. A group of Labour MPs, elected in 2010 and after, describe what this politics of national renewal means to them. It begins in the everyday life of work, family and local place. It is about the importance of having a sense of belonging and community, and sharing power and responsibility with people. It means reforming the state and the market in order to rebuild the economy, share power hope community prosperity, and end the living standards crisis. And it means doing politics in a different way: bottom up not top down, organising not managing. A new generation is changing Labour to change the country.

  • Open Letter to the Pm to Be Signed by Mps and Peers
    OPEN LETTER TO THE PM TO BE SIGNED BY MPS AND PEERS The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister Office of the Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London, SW1A 2AA May 2020 Dear Prime Minister Subject: OPEN LETTER FROM MPS & PEERS: COVID-19: THEATRE & THE PERFORMING ARTS SECTOR, WHAT’S NEEDED FOR SURVIVAL & RECOVERY Whilst we know you are considering how best to protect and support many areas of the economy, this letter summarises the current and future impact of COVID-19 on performing arts businesses around the UK and calls on you and your teams in DCMS, Treasury and BEIS to take action on what is needed immediately; and over the coming months to rescue the sector and allow theatre to contribute to the future success of the UK. The performing arts’ contribution to the UK: economic & social British theatre (from drama to musical theatre to opera to dance) is a world-class cultural and economic force with British theatrical productions filling cultural venues and theatres from Broadway to Beijing. From small studios to big-budget stages, theatre and the performing arts are part of the fabric of British life. Towns, villages and cities the breadth of the UK have and use theatres for more than seeing a show – they are spaces for many different groups in community to come together to learn, socialise and create. As you know, the creative industries are a motor of growth in local economies from the South East to the North West, from Yorkshire and the Humber to the West Midlands. Theatre’s workforce of 290,000 people includes 70% who are self-employed and move freely between scales and sectors.

  • MEND Briefing Paper – Islamophobia
    Defining Islamophobia Briefing Paper from Muslim Engagement and Development April 2019 As the world recovers from the recent deaths of fifty people in devastating far-right terror attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, there are few reminders of the danger of Islamophobia that are more poignant. This problem is not new to the UK and its persistent presence in the daily lives of our Muslim communities is a stark reminder that action is needed to combat all forms of hatred which leave innocent individuals vulnerable to marginalisation, discrimination, and even violence. Politicians such as Baroness Sayeeda Warsi have remarked on how Islamophobia “has passed the dinner table test” in the UK. Indeed, looking at patterns of Islamophobic comments amongst prominent members of political parties, it seems Islamophobic beliefs have been afforded an air of legitimacy even amongst our political representatives. To protect our Muslim communities and meaningfully combat Islamophobia, it is essential that policymakers are firstly equipped with a definition with which to identify it. MEND, therefore, urges the UK Government to: 1. Adopt the definition of Islamophobia produced by the APPG (All-Party Parliamentary Group) on British Muslims: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” 2. Apply the above definition in conjunction with the following guidelines: Islamophobia is demonstrated in, and articulated through, speech, writing, behaviours, structures, policies, legislation or activities that work to control, regulate or exclude Muslim participation within social, civic, economic and political life, or which embody hatred, vilification, stereotyping, abuse, or violence directed at Muslims.

  • Dear Mr Williamson and Ms Ford, We Are Writing with Urgency to Follow-Up
    Rt Hon Gavin Williamson CBE Philip Glanville, Mayor of Hackney Secretary of State Caroline Woodley, Cabinet Member for Rt Hon Vicky Ford Families, Early Years and Play Children and Families Minister London Borough of Hackney Department for Education Town Hall Sanctuary Buildings Mare Street 20 Great Smith Street London E8 1EA Westminster London SW1P 3BT [email protected] [email protected] 11 Jan 2021 MCO210111-01 Dear Mr Williamson and Ms Ford, We are writing with urgency to follow-up on our call to you on Monday 4th January (please find attached) for action on behalf of early years providers in Hackney and across the sector. Hackney early years providers have worked hard to follow advice, undertake risk assessments and work with Government guidance released late in the evening of Thursday 7th January to further mitigate risk.1 As we advised you last week, we do not expect early years provision, including children’s centres, registered nurseries, childminders or maintained nursery schools, to fully reopen until they have put in place measures that take account of the increased prevalence, new variants and infection rates of the virus. Many will be operating from today, Monday 11th January, with reduced occupancy, in some cases offering part-time places in order to safely accommodate as many families as possible, in others reverting to small bubble groups. Halt the census We again ask the Government to recognise that providers right across the private, voluntary and independent sector, will also need to restrict their operations in the coming weeks and months and that this will in turn impact on their attendance records.
