  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline

  • Benn at Risk As Vengeful Hard Left Seizes Seat
    The Times, 20th November 2016: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/benn-at-risk- as-vengeful-hard-left-seizes-seat-zcf6hv0fg Benn at risk as vengeful hard left seizes seat Andrew Gilligan HILARY BENN, who led the summer's failed "coup" against Jeremy Corbyn, is facing deselection after hardleft activists seized control of his local Labour party and demanded his head. Benn, the former shadow foreign secretary and now chairman of the Commons Brexit committee, has been a hate figure for the left since arguing against Corbyn for military action in Syria. He was then sacked from the shadow cabinet after allegedly canvassing support for a coup against Corbyn, triggering mass resignations by colleagues and a leadership contest. At the recent annual general meeting (AGM) of his Leeds Central constituency party, Benn looked on as his allies were "replaced with Corbyn supporters to a man or woman", according to a Facebook post, now removed, by one of the successful candidates, Stewart Dunbar. All 13 of the constituency officers are Corbynites. "Hilary Benn's face was a picture," he added. The takeover was organised over "three to four months' hard work" in informal caucus meetings, Dunbar said. The leader of the campaign, Patrick Hall, said he was among "quite a few" people who would vote to oust Benn. "When the selection process comes round, which might be very soon, people will have a chance to decide," he said. "What he did in the summer, trying to undermine Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, that went down very badly." Hall, who was elected vicechairman for membership, stressed he was speaking as an individual.
