Stop the War: the Story of Britain’S Biggest Mass Movement by Andrew Murray and Lindsey German, Bookmarks, 2005, 280 Pp
Stop the War: The Story of Britain’s Biggest Mass Movement by Andrew Murray and Lindsey German, Bookmarks, 2005, 280 pp. Abdullah Muhsin and Gary Kent I am sorry. If you think I am going to sit back and agree with beheadings, kidnappings, torture and brutality, and outright terrorization of ordinary Iraqi and others, then you can forget it. I will not be involved whatsoever, to me it is akin to supporting the same brutality and oppression inflicted on Iraq by Saddam, and the invading and occupying forces of the USA. Mick Rix, former left-wing leader of the train drivers’ union, ASLEF, writing to Andrew Murray to resign from the Stop the War Coalition. Andrew Murray and Lindsey German are, respectively, the Chair and Convenor of the Stop the War Coalition. Their book tells a story about a ‘remarkable mass movement’ which the authors hope ‘can change the face of politics for a generation.’ It tracks the Coalition from its origins with no office, no bank account, just one full time volunteer, through the ‘chaos of its early meetings’ to the million-strong demonstration of February 2003. The book seeks to explain the Coalition’s success in bringing together the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and ‘the Muslim Community’ to create ‘the broadest basis ever seen for a left-led movement.’ The authors attack the ‘imperialist’ doctrines of George Bush and Tony Blair, criticise the arguments of the ‘pro-war left,’ and finish with a chapter opposing the occupation and demanding immediate troop withdrawal. In addition, the book includes a broad -

MICK ANTONIW MS/AS Member of the Senedd for Pontypridd Aelodau O’r Senedd dros Bontypridd Ken Skates MS Minister for Economy and Transport Welsh Senedd Cardiff Bay Cardiff CF99 1NA 15th December 2020 Rhys Davies Limited In Administration Dear Ken, I am grateful for the very prompt meeting you facilitated with your officers regarding the administration of Rhys Davies Limited. The company was until last year headquartered in Taff’s Well but was then taken over by Cathay Investment an English based company. I understand your officers are in contact with the administrator and prepared to offer support to a potential buyer and also other support to the workers who have lost their jobs. The way the company has behaved is quite frankly a disgrace. The workers turned up as normal , were kept waiting for several hours and then told the company was going into administration and that they were being made redundant. They were then told that they would not be paid and they should claim their outstanding monies from the UK Government from the Redundancy Payments Service part of the Insolvency Service. I have been in contact with Unite the Union and with many individual employees of the company, not just from Taffs Well and there is genuine astonishment as to how this long standing family firm can be taken over one year and put into administration the next. There are a number of issues I would like you to consider: 1. Has Rhys Davies Ltd received any financial support from Welsh Government? 2. How much has the company received through the job retention scheme? 3. -

Introduction Dame Rosemary Butler AM Presiding Officer I am delighted to introduce the 30th issue of Europe Matters, our update on the work of the National Assembly for Wales on European issues. It was a privilege and an honour to participate on 16 August at the inauguration of the Welsh Memorial in Langemark, Flanders, to the Welsh soldiers who lost their lives in Flanders Fields during the First World War. Over 1,000 people from Wales and Flanders attended the ceremony, including the three leaders of the opposition parties in the Assembly, Andrew RT Davies AM, Leanne Wood AM and Kirsty Williams AM, and of course the First Minister Carwyn Jones AM. I and my fellow Commissioners, Sandy Mewies AM and Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM, will attend a special commemoration in Flanders next month, at the invite of the President of the Flemish Parliament Jan Peumans. This is another example of the strong co-operation and warmth between our two nations. -

Jeremy Miles AC/AM Y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog Brexit Counsel General and Brexit Minister
Jeremy Miles AC/AM Y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog Brexit Counsel General and Brexit Minister Eich cyf/Your ref Ein cyf/Our ref Mick Antoniw AM Chair, Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay CF99 1NA [email protected] 25 June 2019 Dear Mick, During my evidence session with the Committee on 29 April, I undertook to provide further information about our proposals in respect of the Electoral Commission. As the Committee will know, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (as amended by the Wales Act 2017) gives the Assembly legislative competence in relation to devolved elections. This includes competence to legislate on certain matters relating to the Electoral Commission’s activities in relation to Assembly and local government elections in Wales, such as: the financing of the Electoral Commission; the preparation, laying and publication by the Electoral Commission of reports about the performance of its functions; and provision by the Electoral Commission of copies of regulations it has made, altered or revoked. In the light of these changes, the Welsh Government believes that oversight and reporting of the work of the Electoral Commission in relation to devolved elections should also be the responsibility of the Senedd, drawing on the arrangements set out in the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA). Section 27 of the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill as introduced sets out provisions which place a duty on the Senedd to consider the financial and oversight arrangements for the work of the Electoral Commission in relation to devolved Welsh elections and devolved Bae Caerdydd • Cardiff Bay Canolfan Cyswllt Cyntaf / First Point of Contact Centre: Caerdydd • Cardiff 0300 0604400 CF99 1NA [email protected]/[email protected] Rydym yn croesawu derbyn gohebiaeth yn Gymraeg. -
