Oct 18, 2010 12:19 BST Labour Party: Jaguar Land Rover agreement 'great example of cooperation' - Ed Miliband Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, today joined John Denham MP, Labour’s Shadow Business Secretary, and Jack Dromey MP, Member of Parliament for Birmingham Erdington, to praise the cooperation between Jaguar Land Rover, the company’s workforce and the trade union, in securing long-term investment in Castle Bromwich, Solihull and Halewood. All three welcomed the deal, which is a huge boost for manufacturing in the UK while also safeguarding jobs and driving forward growth in the area. Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, said: “This is a great example of cooperation between Jaguar Land Rover, the company’s workforce and the trade union. As a result of this responsible negotiation, manufacturing in Castle Bromwich, Solihull and Halewood is secu re. This decision will drive growth in Britain and bring extra jobs to the West Midlands and Merseyside. “This news of £5 billion investment in British manufacturing stands in stark contrast to how the Tory-led Coalition Government are approaching the current economic situation by putting the fragile recovery at risk and undermining economic growth.” John Denham MP, Labour’s Shadow Business Secretary, said: “It is great news that Jaguar Land Rover, a truly global automotive company, has chosen Britain’s manufacturing sector as its long-term base. This news is a testament to the company’s workforce, which for generations has developed a world-class reputation for British manufacturing.” Jack Dromey MP, Member of Parliament for Erdington, the location of the Castle Bromwich site, said: “This is brilliant news in bleak times. Castle Bromwich built the Spitfire during the war and two generation s of the Jaguar. My constituency of Erdington is one of the poorest in Britain but now the future of its jewel in the crown of manufacturing excellence has been secured.".

English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England

Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By
HOUSE OF COMMONS Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By email April 2019 Dear Home Secretary We write as members representing our Muslim constituents to urge the early release of the very welcome additional funding you have announced for security at places of worship. You will recall the matter was raised in Home Office questions on Monday 1 April. Following the appalling attack in Christchurch last month, we have been speaking to our local mosques, and they are understandably extremely concerned about security, particularly with the approach of the Holy Month of Ramadan, when the community will be highly visible. Many of our constituents will be attending late- night prayers during this month, and feel especially vulnerable when out late in the evening. While the new funding will make a difference, it is therefore imperative that it is released as a matter of urgency, and that application processes are kept as simple and clear as possible, in order that measures can be taken to improve security in good time before Ramadan. We would very much appreciate an early opportunity to meet you to discuss how this could best be facilitated, and look forward to hearing from you in the very near future. Yours sincerely Kate Green MP Rt Hon Anna Soubry MP, Chair, APPG on British Muslims Wes Streeting MP, Co-chair, APPG on British Muslims Naz Shah MP, Vice-chair, APPG on British Muslims Debbie Abrahams MP Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge MP Rushanara Ali MP Kate Hollern MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP Eddie Hughes MP Jonathan Ashworth MP Dr Rupa Huq MP Ian Austin MP Imran Hussain MP Rt.

The Cold Man of Europe – 2015
COLD MAN OF EUROPE 2015 UPDATE October 2015 Westgate House 2a Prebend Street London N1 8PT 020 7359 8000 [email protected] The Cold Man of Europe – 2015 How the UK’s housing performs against comparable European countries in terms of fuel poverty and energy efficiency. Written by Pedro Guertler, Jack Carrington and Antonia Jansz Summary This briefing compares the state of the UK housing stock and fuel poverty levels with 15 other European countries. It concludes that no other country of the 16 assessed performed as poorly overall as the UK across the range of indicators. The UK has among the highest rates of fuel poverty and one of the most energy inefficient housing stocks in Europe. Despite the fact that it has amongst the lowest energy prices, the UK ranks very poorly in terms of the affordability of space heating and fuel poverty, ranking 14th out of 16 on both indicators. It is the poor state of our housing stock that is the main cause of these problems. In terms of households reporting that their home is in a poor state of repair, the UK ranks 12th out of 16. In terms of energy efficiency, out of 11 countries for which data is available, the UK’s walls are ranked 7th, roofs are ranked 8th, floors are ranked 10th and windows are ranked 11th. The key results are shown in Table 1 below. The latest official European data are used for this briefing, and the UK’s performance compared to a previous assessment two years ago1. 1 http://www.ukace.org/2013/03/fact-file-the-cold-man-of-europe/ Association for the Conservation of Energy | briefing

Harriet Harman
Harriet Harman The Labour politician and veteran campaigner for women’s rights interviewed by Roy McCloughry at Portcullis House 6 February 2017 2 Harriet Harman | High Profiles | 6 February 2017 The Fair Agenda Harriet Harman has spent 35 years fighting for justice for women in the House of Commons – mostly on its front benches. ‘Like her or loathe her,’ the Daily Telegraph observed recently, ‘she’s tough as old boots.’ Roy McCloughry took a shine to her in her office in Portcullis House. PHOTOGRAPHY: GEOFF CRAWFORD You were the third of four girls in quite a posh family. What values were instilled in you in your childhood that are still important to you? If I’d have thought that my parents were trying to instil anything in me, I would have been like: OK, that is exactly what I’m going to do the opposite of! We weren’t obedient young girls wanting to do what our parents told us, we were going to kick over the traces and do everything different. But I can’t help noticing, as I look back, that, despite my youthful rebelliousness, some of the things that clearly they were very concerned about have absolutely stuck – particularly being self-reliant and not depending on other people. For young women, that was a revolutionary message, really, because the aspiration at that time was to get yourself a husband so that you could rely on him. 3 Harriet Harman | High Profiles | 6 February 2017 Your mother had been a lawyer but gave it up when she got married, didn’t she? Yes, because in those days if your husband could support you it was inconceivable that you would go out to work, because your job would be to be the housewife and look after the children.
