Who Is on the UK Shadow Energy Team? Oct 15, 2013 10:54 BST Who is on the UK shadow energy team? Last week we wrote a run-down of who was who at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Also last week, Labour leader Ed Miliband decided to re-shuffle his own energy team to provide a new balance to the Tory/Liberal Democrat ran DECC. Caroline Flint Caroline Flint (pictured) has been the shadow energy minister since October 2011, the position that directly shadows Ed Davey. She is already well-known for resigning in 2009 because of disagreements with Gordon Brown's leadership style, and then being re-elected in 2010. She is currently an MP for Don Valley in South Yorkshire which has always been represented by a Labour MP since 1922. She has held various ministerial positions in the Labour front bench such as Minister for Public Health, Minister for Employment, Minister for Housing and Planning, as well as Minister for Europe. Tom Greatrex Tom is a Scottish MP who was voted into the House of Commons in 2010. When he was first voted in he became a member of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, which he stepped down from later that year. When Ed Miliband became leader he was appointed Shadow Scotland Office Minister until 2011 when he was asked by Ed Miliband to become Shadow Energy Minister with policy responsibility for oil and gas, electricity market reform, renewables, National Grid, and related issues. Jonathan Reynolds Jonathon Reynolds is one of the newest members of the shadow energy team after Miliband's recent re-shuffle. He also became an MP during the 2010 election and originally took up a position as a Whip before serving as Parliamentary Private Secretary. He represents the Stanlybridge and Hyde First constituency in Greater Manchester. Julie Elliott Julie is another MP who was appointed to join Miliband's team last week as a shadow minister. Like two of the other MP's in the committee she was also elected during the 2010 election. Prior to her election Julie was still involved in politics and worked as a Labour Party Organiser alongside her work with the trade union GMB and the National Asthma Campaign. Baroness Bryony Worthington Like the coalition's DECC, Labour's energy team also have a voice in the House of Lords. Bryony has a career behind her which specialises in climate change and sustainable energy having previously worked at Friends of the Earth and SSE. She was made a Labour peer in 2010 and is a founder of sandbag.co.uk, a climate change action group which focuses on changing economic systems in order to fight climate change.

  • Invest, Don't Cut the Predicted Impact of Government Policy on Funding For
    Invest, Don’t Cut The predicted impact of Government policy on funding for schools and academies by 2020 A report by NUT and ATL This report presents findings from an NUT / ATL interactive website which demonstrates the likely impact on schools and academies of the Government’s current school funding policies and its plan to redistribute existing funding between schools in England - www.schoolcuts.org.uk The interactive website allows users to access detailed predictions for every school’s funding per pupil in real terms, as affected by the Government’s proposal to implement a new funding formula for schools alongside a freeze in funding per pupil and cost increases imposed by Government. The predictions are based on publicly available government data and the most robustly constructed proposed funding formula for schools currently available. With schools already struggling to cope, the Government plans what the Institute for Fiscal Studies has described as the largest real terms cut in school funding in a generation. We know that children are already suffering – class sizes are rising, curriculum choices are being cut, pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are losing vital support and school staff are losing their jobs. Instead of investing more money in education to address the funding shortages already hitting schools and academies, the Government plans only to move existing money around the country through a new funding formula. For every school which gains from this, others will lose – and almost every school will lose when the impact of inflation and other cost increases, against which the funding freeze offers no protection, are also taken into account.

  • North East Referendum Campaigns
    NORTH EAST REFERENDUM 2004: CAMPAIGNING REPORT FOR THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION by Professor David Denver (Department of Politics and International Relations, Lancaster University) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Campaigners • The organisations which played a significant part in the Assembly campaign were: For Yes For No Yes4thenortheast (Y4NE) North East Says No (NESNO) The Labour Party North East No Campaign (NENC) The Liberal Democrats The Conservative and Unionist Party The TUC (Northern Region) UK Independence Party (UKIP) GMB Unison • Y4NE and NESNO were the respective ‘designated organisations’. All other groups listed on the Yes side were affiliated with Y4NE; on the No side the Conservatives and UKIP were affiliated with NESNO but NENC ran an independent campaign. • Other groups registered as participants – the Senior Citizens Party, the British National Party and the English Democrats party – played little or no part in the campaign. Campaigning • The core activities of effective constituency campaigns in general elections are identifying supporters and mobilising them on polling day but this approach was not possible in the referendum because voting was by post and was spread over several days, party workers were not as enthusiastic as in a general election and party records of past voting in elections are not necessarily a good guide to referendum voting. • Nonetheless, there was vigorous campaigning involving: A leaflet delivered free to every elector (designated organisations only) Leaflets and stickers distributed by volunteers/street stalls E-mailing members and known supporters Press advertising and billboards Visits by party VIPs and endorsements by celebrities Public debates (some sponsored by the Newcastle Journal) Press releases Campaign ‘stunts’ Campaign television broadcasts (two each by Y4NE and NESNO) 1 • The designated organisations each had a website but neither thought this a very effective campaign tool.
