  • Lisa Nandy MP, Shadow Foreign Secretary
    1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, 21ST MARCH, 2021 - LISA NANDY, MP ANDREW MARR SHOW, 21ST MARCH, 2021 LISA NANDY, MP SHADOW FOREIGN SECRETARY (Please check against delivery (uncorrected copies)) AM Lisa Nandy, it’s clear that the EU threat to block vaccines coming into the UK is still live. If that happens, how should the UK respond? LN: Well, I think the President of the European Commission’s comments were deeply, deeply unhelpful. I think that it was right listening to the Commissioner just now that we should try to calm down these tensions. We’ve seen throughout this process that we do better when we work together, that if we don’t defeat the virus everywhere we’re not going to defeat it anywhere, and there are new strains of the virus that are currently emerging. The South African variant which scientists are particularly worried about that is starting to gain traction in France that we need to be very mindful of. We may not be out of the woods with Covid yet and so we’ve got to work together. That means we need to calm these tensions; blockades are really unhelpful. I would urge the European Commission to calm down the language, cool the rhetoric and let’s try and work together to get through this crisis. AM: One of the crucial components of the Pfizer vaccine is made in Cheshire. If the EU banned the export of vaccines into the UK would the UK be justified in banning the exports of components back into the EU? LN: Well look, this is precisely the tit for tat we don’t want to get into.

  • The Theological Socialism of the Labour Church
    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

  • Vindication, Virtue, and Vitriol
    Journal of Computational Social Science https://doi.org/10.1007/s42001-020-00090-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Vindication, virtue, and vitriol A study of online engagement and abuse toward British MPs during the COVID-19 pandemic Tracie Farrell1 · Genevieve Gorrell1 · Kalina Bontcheva1 Received: 21 July 2020 / Accepted: 11 October 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract COVID-19 has given rise to a lot of malicious content online, including hate speech, online abuse, and misinformation. British MPs have also received abuse and hate on social media during this time. To understand and contextualise the level of abuse MPs receive, we consider how ministers use social media to communicate about the pandemic, and the citizen engagement that this generates. The focus of the paper is on a large-scale, mixed-methods study of abusive and antagonistic responses to UK politicians on Twitter, during the pandemic from early February to late May 2020. We fnd that pressing subjects such as fnancial concerns attract high levels of engagement, but not necessarily abusive dialogue. Rather, criticising authorities appears to attract higher levels of abuse during this period of the pandemic. In addi- tion, communicating about subjects like racism and inequality may result in accusa- tions of virtue signalling or pandering by some users. This work contributes to the wider understanding of abusive language online, in particular that which is directed at public ofcials.

  • London Assembly Mayor’S Question Time – Thursday 18 July 2019 Transcript of Item 5 – Questions to the Mayor
    Appendix 2 London Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – Thursday 18 July 2019 Transcript of Item 5 – Questions to the Mayor 2019/14512 - “Shocking... horrifying... slow”: the Government’s response to removing flammable cladding post-Grenfell Andrew Dismore AM In a recent interview with the Evening Standard, London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton described the Government’s action on building fire safety since the Grenfell Tower fire as “shocking... horrifying... slow” (Evening Standard, 4 July 2019) and warned that Londoners are at risk because of aluminium composite material on high rise blocks. LFC Cotton continued: “I don’t think anyone in government has responded in a satisfactory manner. We need more to be done. We need for it to be taken seriously.” Do you agree with her appraisal? Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): I fully agree with London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton [QFSM] that the Government has failed to do anywhere near enough on building fire safety since the fire at Grenfell Tower. Today, the cross-party Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee published a damning report, which agrees that the Government has been - and I quote - “far too slow to react” to the Grenfell Tower tragedy. After the devastating fire in June 2017, the Government promised urgent action to make everyone safe. More than two years later, our building regulation system is still unfit for purpose, we still lack clarity on the basic questions of whether certain types of cladding are safe, and tens of thousands of people continue to live in homes that may be unsafe, with leaseholders facing huge bills for interim safety measures and other safety works.

  • Introduction to Staff Register
    REGISTER OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS’ SECRETARIES AND RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (As at 15 October 2020) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register In accordance with Resolutions made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985 and 28 June 1993, holders of photo-identity passes as Members’ secretaries or research assistants are in essence required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £410 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass. Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £410 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member’s name. Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented.
