    1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, 9TH MAY, 2021 – JOHN McDONNELL AND ANAS SARWAR ANDREW MARR SHOW, 9TH MAY, 2021 JOHN McDONNELL, Former Shadow Chancellor And ANAS SARWAR, Leader, Scottish Labour Party (Please check against delivery (uncorrected copies)) AM: Keir Starmer says he takes full responsibility for Labour’s poor performance in the elections in England. But last night, to the fury of many in the party he appears to have sacked Angela Rayner as Party Chair and Election Coordinator. He can’t sack her from her elected position as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, but overnight there have been signs that things are coming apart. Andy Burnham, the Mayor Manchester, tweeted about Angela Rayner, ‘I can’t support this.’ Trouble ahead. I’m going to speak now to John McDonnell, Jeremy Corbyn’s former Shadow Chancellor and to Anas Sarwar, the Labour Party Leader here in Scotland. He lost two seats yesterday but he says the party are now on the right path. John McDonnell, first of all, I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to talk to Angela Rayner. Do you know whether she has been sacked or not? There seems to be some confusion this morning. JM: No, I haven’t spoken to Angie. Let’s be clear, I have no brief for Angie, I didn’t support her as Deputy Leader. I supported Richard Burgon, but when the Leader of the Party on Friday says he takes full responsibility for the election result in Hartlepool in particular, and then scapegoats Angie Rayner, I think many of us feel that was unfair, particularly as we all know actually Keir style of Leadership is that his office controls everything.

  • Register of Interests of Members’ Secretaries and Research Assistants
    REGISTER OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS’ SECRETARIES AND RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (As at 11 July 2018) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register In accordance with Resolutions made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985 and 28 June 1993, holders of photo-identity passes as Members’ secretaries or research assistants are in essence required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £380 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass. Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £380 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member’s name. Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented.

  • Andrew Marr Show 19Th March 2017 Ruth Davidson Am
    1 RUTH DAVIDSON ANDREW MARR SHOW 19TH MARCH 2017 RUTH DAVIDSON AM: Good morning, Ruth Davidson. RD: Good morning, Andrew. AM: You said not so long ago, ‘I actually don’t think that Westminster saying “no, ye cannae” to a Scottish referendum would play very well in Scotland and it would damage the unionist cause.’ Have you changed your mind? RD: Well, that’s not what Theresa May said. She said that now is not the time. And on a point of principle she said that to have a fair referendum the people of Scotland need to know what it is they’re voting for. They need to know what Brexit looks like, so it’s got to be after the Brexit process has played out. And crucially they also need to know what independence looks like. And I think it’s astonishing that after a two-day conference in Aberdeen the SNP haven’t still told us what their vision is for independence after dropping this bombshell on Monday. AM: Unless the government are astonishingly incompetent, on Nicola Sturgeon’s timescale we will know pretty clearly what the Brexit deal will be at that point. So what’s the problem with the referendum? SD: Well, no, I don’t accept that at all, Andrew, on the grounds that we also know that there’s going to be an awful lot of powers that come back from Brussels and many of them are going to be devolved to the Scottish parliament. The same powers, actually, that Nicola wants to hand back to Brussels, that we believe.

Nanetti). Published by Princeton University Press, the book's central thesis is that social capital is key to high institutional performance and the maintenance of democracy. The authors studied the performance of twenty regional Italian governments since 1970, which were similar institutions but differed in their social, economic and cultural context. They found that regional government performed best, holding other factors constant, where there were strong traditions of civic
