Tuvo que hacer frente al desafío que supuso, hasta cierto punto, la aparición de grandes conurbaciones fabriles en las Midlands y el norte de Inglaterra, en Escocia y en el sur de Gales desde principios del siglo xix, pero el eclipse del poder industrial británico desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial ha reforzado la preemi- nencia de Londres. Los límites de la ciudad albergan casi 9 millones de habitantes, un récord histórico, sin incluir una enorme área metro- politana que abarca aproximadamente 14 millones de personas que trabajan en la capital, lo que supone alrededor de cinco veces el tamaño de sus rivales más cercanas en el Reino Unido (el Gran Manchester, Birmingham y Glasgow).

  • Intouniversity Works with Universities to Provide Local Learning Centres Where Young People Are Inspired to Achieve
    IntoUniversity works with universities to provide local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve. IntoUniversity Oxford South East Annual Report Prepared for Christ Church, Oxford and the University of Oxford 2019/20 Chief Executive Introduction I am very pleased to be able to thank Christ Church, Oxford and the University of Oxford for their support of IntoUniversity. Our work is only made possible by the generous support and investment from partners such as yourselves and I am delighted to present this report on the performance of IntoUniversity Oxford South East for 2019/20. This report provides details of delivery to young people that took place prior to the national lockdown. In March we took the difficult decision to close temporarily all IntoUniversity centres and they remained closed for the rest of the academic year. Inevitably, this means we did not reach all of our targets for 2019/20. For further information, please see programme output tables Dr Rachel Carr OBE at the back of the report. Despite the centre closures, we were determined to continue providing support to our students remotely, and we immediately embarked on a response to the lockdown, quickly adapting our offer of support; you can find more information on how we did this later in the report. We are delighted that our centres were able to re-open for our young people in September for the 2021/21 academic year, with strict social distancing measures in place. The COVID-19 crisis was certainly an unprecedented challenge, but much has been achieved by IntoUniversity in the 2019/20 academic year.

  • The IR35 MP Hit List ­ the 100 Politicians Most Likely to Lose Their Seats
    The UK's leading contractor site. 200,000 monthly unique visitors. GUIDES IR35 CALCULATORS BUSINESS INSURANCE BANKING ACCOUNTANTS INSURANCE MORTGAGES PENSIONS RESOURCES FREE IR35 TEST The IR35 MP hit list ­ The 100 politicians most likely to lose their seats Last December research conducted by ContractorCalculator identified the MPs for whom it will prove most costly to lose the self­employed vote, and published the top 20 from each party. The results were based on data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and contractor sentiment indicated by a previous ContractorCalculator survey. The full results of this research are now published, with the top 100 MPs, ordered by risk of losing their seat, due to the Off­payroll (IR35) reforms that Treasury, HMRC and the Chancellor are attempting to push through Parliament. In total, 85 MPs hold a majority in Parliament that would feasibly be overturned if the expected turnout of IR35­opposing self­employed voters from their constituency were to vote against them, and we list the next 15, making 100 in total, that are potentially under threat if the self­ employed voter turnout is higher than expected. "This single piece of damaging policy could prove catastrophic for all parties involved, not least the Tories, who make up 43% of the at­risk seats,” comments ContractorCalculator CEO, Dave Chaplin. “There is also potentially a lot to gain for some, but those in precarious positions will have to act swiftly and earnestly to win over contractors’ trust.” How we identified the at­risk MPs The research leveraged the data and compared the MPs majority at the last election with the likely number of self­employed voters in their area who would turn out and vote against them.

The plan will decide where new houses, jobs and services will go over the period to 2021 and how we safeguard the environment. The Council wants to make sure that all sections of the community have the chance to be actively involved in preparing the new plan. Planning can affect everyone’s day to day lives, whether it’s your neighbour wanting to build an extension, a proposal for a new supermarket, new flats or offices, or the provision of a skate park in one of our recreation grounds. It is important to comment on where new development should go, which areas should be protected and what standards should be applied. Our communities, groups and societies should have the chance to be actively involved in developing policies and proposals for the district.
