    For Distribution to CPs THE LEVESON INQUIRY INTO THE CULTURES, PRACTICES AND ETHICS OE THE PRESS WITNESS STATEMENT OE JAMES HANNING I, JAMES HANNING of Independent Print Limited, 2 Derry Street, London, W8 SHF, WILL SAY; My name is James Hanning. I am deputy editor of the Independent on Sunday and, with Francis Elliott of The Times, co-author of a biography of David Cameron. In the course of co-writing and updating our book we spoke to a large number of people, but equally I am very conscious that I, at least, dipped into areas in which I can claim very little specialist knowledge, so I would emphasise that in several respects there are a great many people better placed to comment and much of what follows is impressionistic. I hope that what follows is germane to some of the relationships that Lord Justice Leveson has asked witnesses to discuss. I hesitate to try to draw a broader picture, but I hope that some conclusions about the disproportionate influence of a particular sector of the media can be drawn from my experience. My interest in the area under discussion in the Third Module stems from two topics. One is in David Cameron, on whose biography we began work in late 2005, soon after Cameron became Tory leader. The second is an interest in phone hacking at the News of the World. Tory relations with Murdoch Since early 2007, the Conservative leadership has been extremely keen to ingratiate itself with the Murdoch empire. It is striking how it had become axiomatic that the support of the Murdoch papers was essential for winning a general election.

    Lourdes Admissions to Is This Administrator Catholic A&B’s Marie Schools in Oldest Honoured A&B Parishioner? - Page 5 - Page 7 - Page 10 A&B News FREE The Catholic Newspaper for the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton OCTOBER 2019 - No.345 A&B’s Secret Army of Lourdes Volunteers UR DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE of Oover 700 pilgrims is one of the largest groups in Lourdes each summer and, while many of the pilgrims probably appreciate that a great deal of work and preparation must go into mak - ing the pilgrimage the great success that it is, I doubt that they are aware of the full extent of the ‘behind the scenes’ work involved. This summer I set out to find out more about this work and about the ‘secret army’ of volunteers involved. THE MEDICAL TEAM The medical team – often with a stethoscope around the neck or wearing a nurse’s uniform – are fairly visible and identifiable members of the support team, but the work to ensure that the medical needs of the Assisted Pilgrims (APs) can be met begins long before they arrive in Lourdes. I met with Dr Jane Pateman, Medical Director of the pil - grimage, who leads a team of 8 – 10 doc - tors and around 30 nurses in Lourdes and who took me through the preparatory work involved each year. Her work begins in November with a meeting at the Lourdes Office to finalise/refine the application form which goes live in January. Training is organised for those who are going to undertake home visits that start in February and continue through March and April.

All rights reserved. 1 | 18 European Parliament Elections 2014 1.0 Introduction This briefing is part of DeHavilland EU’s Foresight Report series on the 2014 European elections and provides a preliminary overview of the candidates standing in the UK for election to the European Parliament in 2014. In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

  • DAVID CAMERON LIKES MY ART. Eva Weinmayr
    HELP! DAVID CAMERON LIKES MY ART. Eva Weinmayr This is the preprint version of the chapter published in "Distributed", edited by David Blamey and Brad Haylock, London, Open Editions, 2018. http://www.openeditions.com/index.php/distributed.html 1 My Work Received Approval From the Wrong Audience They saw the work on a gallery website. Looking for another artist’s work, they stumbled across the Today’s Question series that I had exhibited in a group show in the same gallery. They expressed an interest in acquiring the works for the UK Government Art Collection. This collection, they explained, purchases works of art for display in British government buildings around the world to promote British art and culture. However, they said the price I was asking was too high. But I was reluctant to let them strike a cheap deal and the board eventually decided to acquire only two works from the seven-piece series. The choice, it was later argued, reflected not just the limited budget, but also the fact that some pieces in the series were not really appropriate for the Government collection. Apparently the content was considered politically controversial and raised eyebrows in some quarters. The works they selected read: ‘How should we fight foot and mouth? – Kill or Vaccinate – Please tick’ and ‘31mph – A Crime? Yes or No. Please tick’. The large text works were based on questionnaires that had been jamming my fax machine for many months in the early 2000s. The faxes had been sent out by a company pretending to poll opinion on different subjects: it was claimed the poll results would be presented to important politicians and institutions, in order to influence their decision-making.
