  • 2016 a Personal View
    Amnesty International Cambridge City Group May 2016 - April 2017 Cambridge Cambridge is an extraordinary city. It is immensely rich - intellectually, historically, culturally, financially. The University of Cambridge has nurtured more Nobel Prize winners than any other institution. Its thriving high tech industries produce the most patent applications in the country. It comes only second in the tables for pupils achieving good GCSE results in maths and English. It has a high population of young people, very few of whom claim benefits. The average weekly income is near the top nationally, as are house prices. As are house prices. Cambridge is the most unequal city in the country. Listed third for house unaffordability, a rise of 122% in homelessness over 2015, five food banks in the city centre, lowest per capita welfare spending, with 30% of children living in poverty in three of the city wards : the difference between those who have and those who have not is stark. This is the environment in which the Amnesty International Cambridge City Group works, a vibrant exciting place to be with problems common to the rest of the country. Cambridge was an early participant in the Amnesty movement. The group, the eighteenth still active in the country, was established in February 1969, a year of great social upheaval in Europe. The relationship between those in power and those who felt unrepresented was put to the test, sometimes violently. In 2016 that relationship was tested on the world stage. The Amnesty International Report 2016-17 says : ‘For millions, 2016 was a year of unrelenting misery and fear, as governments and armed groups abused human rights in a multitude of ways.’ With growing suppression comes growing resistance, an awareness that inaction is not an option.

  • What the TECH? a Look at What This Election Could Mean for the Technology Sector Cicero Group | December 2019
    What the TECH? A look at what this election could mean for the technology sector Cicero Group | December 2019 What the TECH was in the manifestos? Technology and innovation were a theme in all of the major manifestos with each Party professing a desire to take the UK into a future technological revolution. Broadband was almost certainly at the top of the policy charts, with all four major Parties promising the roll out of full fibre broadband and increased internet connectivity to all corners of the UK by 2030. Labour has even promised to renationalise BT in order to deliver this. While the ambition and execution of each Party’s broadband policy may differ, it seems all Parties, whether explicitly or tacitly, believe internet access should now be considered a basic utility available to all. For the digital economy, the promise of increased internet access should be a cause for celebration. More people online means more potential users, customers and shoppers to target. As well as enhancing access and speeds, all major Parties want to ensure our online experiences happen in a safe environment, with each committing itself to tackling the scourge of ‘online harms’, particularly for children. The SNP has even gone as far as to promise the introduction of a new ‘online regulator’ to impose fines and block access to offending platforms, something the previous Conservative Government had only begun to consult on. Away from the internet, it’s clear each Party wants the UK to also lead The number the world in innovative research and manufacturing. Here, traditional of times Party ideologies appear to play more of a role.

  • General Election Key Seat Guide the Midlands & EAST of ENGLAND
    22 November 2019 General election key seat guide The Midlands & EAST OF ENGLAND his is the second in a series of Headland’s Key Seat 2019 General Election Guides. This election will be a complex race with the two main parties under challenge from T smaller parties and Brexit. Based on an assessment of election history, demographics and an in-depth knowledge of local areas, we will lay out which seats are going to be the most interesting and tightly fought during this election. Part two of the series moves to the Midlands and East of England – looking at the East Midlands, West Midlands and East of England regions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • This diverse area stretches from the Welsh border to the North Sea and encompasses some of the most tightly fought seats in the country. • The Conservatives will be looking to shake up the electoral map by winning in seats Labour have held for over a century in the Black Country and the mining towns of the East Midlands. • Meanwhile the Liberal Democrats will be wanting to make waves of their own by taking classic commuter belt seats in the home counties off the Conservatives. Headland briefing | general election key seat guide – the midlands & EAST OF ENGLAND | 1 THE WEST MIDLANDS The home of some of the most marginal constituencies in the country and often thought of as where elections are won and lost, the seats in play this time round are a mixture of skilled working class swing seat areas in the Black Country such as Dudley and Telford, Labour heartlands in the pottery towns of Staffordshire and liberal centres like Warwick.
