  • Leeds City Council Standards Committee Annual Report 2009
    Leeds City Council Standards Committee Annual Report 2009 – 2010 Introduction The Local Government Act 2000 requires councils to set up a standards committee. Standards committees have a proactive role in creating an ethical framework which governs the relationship between high standards of conduct and transparency and openness in decision making. As a result of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 and the Standards Committee (England) Regulations 2008, the role of the Standards Committee also includes the local assessment of complaints made under the Member Code of Conduct. This is the Committee’s fifth Annual Report and it presents a summary of its work during the 2009-10 municipal year. The Committee’s Annual Return to Standards for England is appended to the report. This report supports the corporate governance arrangements of the Council by promoting good conduct and cascading information. Our Ambition “To help develop and maintain a climate of mutual trust and respect in which Members, officers and partners work effectively together to deliver the Council’s strategic and operational priorities and where the public can be assured that this is done in an honest, objective and accountable way.” 2 Foreword from the Chair Leeds City Council was announced as winner of the Standards and Ethics category at the Local Government Chronicle Awards 2010. The judging panel was impressed by the Leeds approach to ethical governance within the authority, and its commitment to promoting and maintaining high standards of Member conduct. Features of our work were also highlighted as a case study of notable practice in Standards for England’s most recent Annual Review.

The following analysis from an article by Rebecca 123 UN Member states (a huge majority) voted to Johnson of ICANuk underlines the importance of this convene a multilateral UN conference in 2017 "to vote. negotiate a legally binding treaty to prohibit nuclear ‘Building on the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), weapons, leading towards their total elimination". the new multilateral treaty will for the irst time provide a comprehensive approach to prohibiting activities such as the use, deployment, production, transporting, stockpiling and inancing of nuclear weapons.

  • Vindication, Virtue, and Vitriol
    Journal of Computational Social Science https://doi.org/10.1007/s42001-020-00090-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Vindication, virtue, and vitriol A study of online engagement and abuse toward British MPs during the COVID-19 pandemic Tracie Farrell1 · Genevieve Gorrell1 · Kalina Bontcheva1 Received: 21 July 2020 / Accepted: 11 October 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract COVID-19 has given rise to a lot of malicious content online, including hate speech, online abuse, and misinformation. British MPs have also received abuse and hate on social media during this time. To understand and contextualise the level of abuse MPs receive, we consider how ministers use social media to communicate about the pandemic, and the citizen engagement that this generates. The focus of the paper is on a large-scale, mixed-methods study of abusive and antagonistic responses to UK politicians on Twitter, during the pandemic from early February to late May 2020. We fnd that pressing subjects such as fnancial concerns attract high levels of engagement, but not necessarily abusive dialogue. Rather, criticising authorities appears to attract higher levels of abuse during this period of the pandemic. In addi- tion, communicating about subjects like racism and inequality may result in accusa- tions of virtue signalling or pandering by some users. This work contributes to the wider understanding of abusive language online, in particular that which is directed at public ofcials.
