Sources for Studying Politicians and Political Parties Politicians and Political Parties A Guide to Materials at Hull History Centre Worship Street Hull, HU2 8BG Introduction Hull History Centre holds over 2000 collections which cover a huge range of subjects. Finding your way through this to identify material that interests you can be daunting. The following is a guide to materials held at Hull History Centre on the subject of Politicians and Political Parties. The guide is intended to aid the researcher in the identification of archival collections for use in research projects, dissertations and theses. Entries in this guide provide brief summaries of individual collection titles, covering dates, and content. More detailed descriptions of content can be found on the History Centre’s online catalogue, where you can also download PDF versions of individual catalogues. The online catalogue can be accessed at catalogue.historycentrecatalogue.org.uk. Materials listed in this guide are not exhaustive and so you should also use the History Centre’s online catalogue to search for terms specific to your research topic. The History Centre’s website contains further guides to our collections which might also be of use to researchers looking to identify resources. The website can be accessed at www.hullhistorycentre.org.uk. Should you require any further advice, this guide has been prepared by the Hull University Archives team who are happy to help in any way they can. Questions should be directed to HUA staff at [email protected] by marking enquiries ‘FAO HUA Archives Staff’ in the subject line. Hints and Tips In addition to the below collections, there may be other material relating to politicians and political parties amongst the holdings of Hull History Centre. You can identify this material by using the online catalogue (link above). Try key words such as an individual’s name, the name of a party, political positions such as ‘Communist’, ‘Conservative’, ‘Labour’, ‘Socialist’ etc. Searches such as these might turn up individual items such as letters, reports, newspaper articles etc. hidden within seemingly unrelated collections.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • MPS-0746712/1 the GUARDIAN 18.3.68 Police Repel Anti—War Mob
    MPS-0746712/1 THE GUARDIAN 18.3.68 Police repel anti—war mob at US embassy BY OUR OWN REPORTERS Britain's biggest anti-Vietnam war demonstration ended in London yesterday with an estimated 300 arrests: 86 people were treated by the St John Ambulance Brigade for injuries and 50, including 25 policemen, one with serious spine injury, were taken to hospital. Demonstrators and police—mounted and on foot—engaged in a protracted battle, throwing stones, earth, firecrackers and smoke bombs. Plastic blood, an innovation, added a touch of vicarious brutality. It was only after considerable provocation that police tempers began to fray and truncheons were used, and then only for a short time. The demonstrators seemed determined to stay until they had provoked a violent response of some sort from the police. This intention became paramount once they entered Grosvenor Square. Mr Peter Jackson, Labour MP for High Peak, said last night that he would put down a question in the Commons today about "unnecessary violence by police." Earlier in the afternoon, members of the Monday Club, including two MPs, Mr Patrick Wall and Mr John Biggs- Davison, handed in letters expressing support to the United States and South Vietnamese embassies More than 1,000 police were waiting for the demonstrators in Grosvenor Square. They gathered in front of the embassy while diagonal lines stood shoulder to shoulder to cordon off the corners of the square closest to the building. About 10 coaches filled with constables waited in the space to rush wherever they were needed and a dozen mounted police rode into the square about a quarter of an hour before the demonstrators arrived.

    SOUTHERN AFRICA NEWS BULLETIN Committee on Southern Africa, National Student Christian Federation, 475 Riverside Drive, New York, N. Y., 10027. Room 754. RHODESIA NEWS SUMv4ARY Weekof May 5 -ll EDITORIALS AND PERSONAL COMMEM The Economist - May 7, 1966 Letter to the Editor from Patrick Wall, House of Commons. "I wonder if your article "Talks about Talks" (April 30) has really struck the right balance. The implication is that Rhodesia's economy is being rapidly eroded by sanctions and that the South Africans are not prepared to offer them long-term support. As far as one can ascertain it would seem that Rhodesia's economy has remained remarkably buoyant after nearly sic months of sanctions. It is true that the policy of sanctions may have made Rhodesians more amenable to negotiations but surely this is also true of the British economy. The total cost of the Rhodes ian campaign in visibles and invisibles has been estimated at some 1200 million in a full year and it must now be clar to Mr. Wilson that whether he likes it or not the next step will be the imposition of mandatory sanctions by the United Nations not only on Rhodesia but also on Scuth Africa and the Portuguese territories. The first and major victim of this step would be the British economy--deprived of our third best trade partner the blow might be mortal. I believe that these factors together with the ,strongly expressed views of the Governor and the Chief Justice must be foremost in Mr. Wilson's mind and it is surely he, rather than Mr.

  • "No Return to 1961 in Rhodesia" (299)
    SOUTHERN AFRICA NEWS BULLETIN Committee on Southern Africa, National Student Christian Federation, 475 Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y., 10027. Room 754 RHODESIA NEWS SUMMARY Week of June 16-22, 1966 EDITORIALS AND PERSONAL COMMENTS The Times, London - June 21 "The farmers are now thought to see that if a settlement is not reached soon they will have to abandon next year's crop (tobacco) after heavy losses on this year's. Their reaction will be the acid test. If they prefer to abandon tobacco for subsistence farming rather than press Mr. Smith to a compromise - which their friends in business already urge - then Britain and Africa generally must sit down to besiege Rhodesia until it is received, or the world concert on sanctions breaks down. Neither result is desirable in British or African interests. It is right therefore for the officials to work over every formula that embodies Britaints basic principles on African constitu tional advancement and African consent to the final settlement." Manchester Guardian Weekly - June 16 Edftorial:' "No return to 1961 in Rhodesia" Perhaps the talks have already turned into negotiations, and if so Mr. Wilson should explain what they are about. Three factors can be considered in turn: sanctions, relations with Zambia, and Britain's aims in the Salisbury talks. Last week the President of the Rhodesian Associated Chambers of Commerce warned that many firms were struggling for existence. Dwindling stocks, import licenses, and the exchange control have been taking their toll for weeks, but this is the first public statement from business. The government has clearly been disguising the effect of sanctions; the petrol entering the country has to be paid for.

    Appendix: \Ideology, Grandstanding, and Strategic Party Disloyalty in the British Parliament" August 8, 2017 Appendix Table of Contents • Appendix A: Wordscores Estimation of Ideology • Appendix B: MP Membership in Ideological Groups • Appendix C: Rebellion on Different Types of Divisions • Appendix D: Models of Rebellion on Government Sponsored Bills Only • Appendix E: Differences in Labour Party Rebellion Following Leadership Change • Appendix F: List of Party Switchers • Appendix G: Discussion of Empirical Model Appendix A: Wordscores Estimation of Ideology This Appendix describes our method for ideologically scaling British MPs using their speeches on the welfare state, which were originally produced for a separate study on welfare reform (O'Grady, 2017). We cover (i) data collection, (ii) estimation, (iii) raw results, and (iv) validity checks. The resulting scales turn out to be highly valid, and provide an excellent guide to MPs' ideologies using data that is completely separate to the voting data that forms the bulk of the evidence in our paper. A1: Collection of Speech Data Speeches come from an original collection of every speech made about issues related to welfare in the House of Commons from 1987-2007, covering the period over which the Labour party moved 1 to the center under Tony Blair, adopted and enacted policies of welfare reform, and won office at the expense of the Conservatives. Restricting the speeches to a single issue area is useful for estimating ideologies because with multiple topics there is a danger of conflating genuine extremism (a tendency to speak in extreme ways) with a tendency or requirement to talk a lot about topics that are relatively extreme to begin with (Lauderdale and Herzog, 2016).
