  • Dr. Cornejo Tenure Letter
    Peace is an Ecosocialist Issue: Some Experiences from Local UK Politics and Suggestions for Global Action Judith Watson* It is difficult to comprehend why the world should be in a state of conflict more than 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and hard not to conclude that armed conflict is intrinsic to capitalism. There is a problem with the post-war settlement, forged at Potsdam and Yalta, yet it is the only settlement that we have. The United Nations is hardly succeeding, yet we cannot admit its failures without suggesting that we dissolve the community of nations and elect another one. It seems, as Noam Chomsky has long pointed out, that the USA in particular needs to have a bogeyman; if not communism then resurgent Islam. The ecosocialist implications of permanent warfare are almost too simple to state in an academic journal. • War can be caused by environmental damage. The Syrian conflict seems to have been exacerbated by the drought of 2007 to 2010. The uprising started in March 2011. • War is an environmental disaster in its own right. • War divides people when they should be united, and is an obstacle to building the necessary counter-hegemony for a transition to socialism and to a low-carbon economy. There is also the question of the armaments industry itself, a lucrative, though not essential, component of the industrial base of some capitalist states. I would like to argue that building a strong international peace movement is an important task for the ecosocialist movement, even as it is building up its own strength.

Having that number will also facilitate effective knowledge sharing, and encourage supportive practice between the phase 1 pilot areas for local service providers. Latest TV in Brighton and Hove is already modelling and championing collaborative working methods at a local level by working in partnership with both Juice 107.2 FM, the city's radio station, and Wired Sussex, our leading digital company, and has cross-party support from all of our MP's as well as many other organisations and business groups in the city. We already have collaborative relationships across the country, such as with Element TV and You TV, and would also be looking to build a good working relationship with our multiplex provider.

  • Introduction from Duane Passman (Director of 3Ts)
    Introduction from Duane Passman (Director of 3Ts) On behalf of the Trust and 3Ts Project Team, I am pleased to publish the final version of the 3Ts Full Business Case (FBC), as approved by the Trust Board of Directors, NHS Trust Development Authority (now part of NHS Improvement), Department of Health and HM Treasury. The business case is written in the ‘five case model’ format1 set out by HM Treasury for major investments. We hope that in addition to addressing the strategic, economic, commercial, financial and management aspects of the case, it also provides a compelling story of the history of the Royal Sussex County Hospital site, the urgent need for investment to modernise the estate, and the vision for what it will mean for our patients once the redevelopment is complete. The £485m redevelopment received final approval from HM Treasury in December 2015. Clarifications and amendments made during the preceding due diligence/scrutiny process have been incorporated in this published version of the FBC, which is the third and final stage in the investment approvals process, and were regularly reported to and approved by the Trust Board of Directors. In fact, the case for investment remains largely unaltered from the Outline Business Case approved by the Department of Health in 2014, other than that the financial case has been updated to reflect the Trust and local health economy financial position as at 2015/16. Since planning began in 2008, there have been three national governments, four Secretaries of State, three Local Authority administrations, four Trust Chief Executives, and in 2013 the implementation of the Health & Social Care Act, which transformed the organisational architecture of the NHS in England.

  • Brighton and Hove Lib Dems Letter To
    Brighton & Hove Liberal Democrats Chair: Michael Wilbur Please reply to: [email protected] 31st January 2017 To: Caroline Lucas, M.P. for Brighton Pavilion; Simon Kirby M.P. for Brighton Kemptown and Peter Kyle M.P. for Hove An open letter to the Members of Parliament for Brighton and Hove, Dear Caroline, Simon and Peter, We write to you to tell you about an initiative we have undertaken with other local Liberal Democrat activists amongst your constituents in our City. We have been promoting a petition with the following wording: ‘A narrow Leave vote does not give Theresa May a blank cheque to take away the UK's membership of the single market and our rights to live, work, and travel freely in Europe. If the Government won't give us a referendum on the destination of Brexit, we call on our three Brighton and Hove MPs to vote against the triggering of Article 50.’ We have collected hundreds of signatures already and we will continue to collect them until the very last minute before the final vote on Article 50 in the House of Commons. We acknowledge the work that Caroline Lucas and Peter Kyle have already done to prevent the worst form of ‘hard’ Brexit being forced through by a Conservative government that appears to have been ‘captured’ by its UKIP tendency. Caroline has spoken out and tabled several reasoned amendments to the Article 50 Bill that is currently being debated. Peter has also spoken forcefully for a Brexit that protects the benefits of being in the EU that are especially important to us in the city of Brighton and Hove.
