  • 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.

  • Combined E-Mails Sent Between PRYCE and OAKESHOTT
    Exhibit: LJN/12a Combined E-mails sent between PRYCE and OAKESHOTT -----Original Message---- From: isabel oakeshott < Date: Tue, I Mar~201120:08:15 To: <viclcypryce Subject: my gran plan I've spent most of the afternoon thinking about your situation from every angle and have come to some conclusions, which I hope you'll have a think about First of all, i think your reputation would be really damaged by a 'tell all' book with Angela Levin/ the Mail on Sunday. The Mail on Sunday is -at the end of the day- a fairly downmarket publication and a lot of people would think it a bit tawdry for you to be co-operating with them. I know it's got a big readership, but so has the News of the World! Ifyou are seen to be helping the Mail on Sunday, it will look bad- no two ways about it. There will also be an assumption that you've made money from it, - because everyone rightly assumes that papers like that use their cheque books to get their stories. That would be bad for your reputation. At the moment it sounds like you have a really good chance ofjoining the MPC in the nearish future, and in the longer term, perhaps even the House of Lords. It is not worth jeapardising that if it can be avoided. Given that you clearly want to tell your story, (and at the same time see that Chris gets what he deserves) that leaves two options: 1) do the book, but give serialisation rights to a more respectable paper, ie, the Sunday Times.

  • Read CDPRG Chairman Crispin Blunt's Letter to the Prime Minister
    The Conservative Drug Policy Reform Group, Limited Suite 15.17 Citibase, 15th Floor Millbank Tower 21-24 Millbank, Westminster London SW1P 4QP The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP The Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 20 November 2020 Dear Prime Minister, As Chairman of the Conservative Drug Policy Reform Group, I am writing today with a comprehensive set of recommendations prepared by the CDPRG research team, to secure the future of the UK’s cannabidiol (CBD) industry. Though nascent, this industry is already valued at £300 million and it is predicted to grow to around £1 billion by 2025, equivalent to the entirety of the UK’s herbal supplement market in 2016. I am sure you will agree with me that this projected market growth, and the jobs, investment and R&D it attracts, needs safeguarding and stimulating rather than inhibiting. This fulfilment depends on the practicality of the legislations safeguarding this burgeoning industry, which is why I am writing to strongly recommend that the UK votes in favour of recommendations to be proposed on 02 December 2020 by the World Health Organisation at the 53rd United Nations Session on the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND), of which the UK is a signatory. The WHO recommends adding the following footnote to the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, to read: "Preparations containing predominantly cannabidiol and not more than 0.2 percent of delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol [THC] are not under international control”. This harmonises with a ruling issued this week from the European Union that member states may not prohibit the marketing of CBD lawfully produced in other member states.

  • 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.

One of my proudest achievements here has been the LGBT+ Conservatives Candidates’ Fund, which has supported so many people into parliament and raised tens of thousands of pounds. As the fund matures it is moving into a new governance structure, and I hope to play a role in that future. I am thrilled to be succeeded by Elena Bunbury. I know that she will bring new energy to the organisation, and I hope it will continue to thrive under her leadership. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey.

  • The Prime Minister, HC 833
    Liaison Committee Oral evidence: The Prime Minister, HC 833 Tuesday 20 December 2016 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 20 Dec 2016. Watch the meeting Members present: Mr Andrew Tyrie (Chair); Hilary Benn; Mr Clive Betts; Crispin Blunt; Andrew Bridgen; Sir William Cash; Yvette Cooper; Meg Hillier; Mr Bernard Jenkin; Dr Julian Lewis; Stephen Metcalfe; Mr Laurence Robertson; Dame Rosie Winterton; Pete Wishart; Dr Sarah Wollaston; Mr Iain Wright. Questions 1-129 Witness [I]: Rt Hon Mrs Theresa May Examination of witness Witness: Rt Hon Mrs Theresa May Q1 Chair: Prime Minister, thank you very much for coming to give evidence to us this afternoon. We are very grateful, and I think Parliament is also very grateful, that you are agreeing to do these sessions. Could I just have confirmation that you are going to continue the practice of your predecessor of three a year? Mrs May: Yes, indeed, Chairman. I am happy to do three attendances at this Committee a year. Q2 Chair: Logically, bearing in mind the very big events likely to take place at the end of March, it might be sensible to push scrutiny of the triggering, or proposed triggering, of article 50, and any accompanying Government documents, to after the spring recess. Then we will have two meetings: one right at the beginning and one towards the end of the summer session. Mrs May: That may very well be sensible, Chairman. I suggest that perhaps the Clerk and my office will be able to talk about possible dates. Obviously the Committee will have a view as to when they wish to do it.

  • The Costs of Replacing Trident
    The costs of replacing Trident ND has calculated that replacing Trident, Britain’s nuclear weapons system, will end up costing at least £205 billion, and that’s Cbefore taking into account that Ministry of Defence projects typically go well over budget. The costs of replacing Trident Manufacturing four successor submarines £31 billion 1 Contingency fund £10 billion 2 Missile extension programme £350 million 3 Replacement warheads £4 billion 4 Infrastructure capital costs £4 billion 5 In service costs £142 billion 6 Conventional military forces directly assigned to support Trident £1 billion 7 Decommissioning £13 billion 8 TOTAL £205 billion Parliament voted in July 2016 to go ahead with building new submarines, the delivery vehicles for the nuclear missiles. In its National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review, published in November 2015, the government announced a huge increase in the estimated cost of these submarines to £31 billion. Additionally, a contingency fund of £10 billion was allocated to the project. The UK leases the missiles for the nuclear weapons system from the United States and will participate in that country’s missile life extension programme so that they can be used until the early 2040s. As set out in the government’s 2006 White Paper on ‘The Future of the United Kingdom's Nuclear Deterrent’ , this will cost £250 million, or £350 million in today’s prices. The 2006 White Paper also stated that the current warhead will last into the 2020s and provided for up to £3 billion for the possible future refurbishment or replacement of the warhead.
