    FRIDAY 18 FRIDAY The Lincoln Hotel, LN2 1PN “5 DAYS IN JUNE” 12.00 - 14.30 in The Lincoln Suite On Friday 18th November Karl McCartney, the Member of Parliament for Lincoln and a recently elected Member of the Exiting the EU Select Committee, will be hosting a Business Lunch at The Lincoln Hotel with his Parliamentary colleague Jake Berry MP who was at the heart of The Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson MP’s Leadership Campaign. Jake’s talk “5 days in June” will reveal some of the behind the scenes actions and consequences following the resignation of The Rt. Hon. David Cameron MP as Prime Minister. That decision rapidly led to Boris’ declaration as one of the Leadership Candidates, followed just days later by his unexpected withdrawal from the Campaign and then the subsequent exciting and quickly reached conclusion for the Nation of our new Prime Minister, The Rt. Hon. Theresa May MP. Do join us for this Business Lunch at 12.30. Ask some of those questions we all want to know the answers to, from a Parliamentarian who was at the very centre of the campaign and on the shoulder of a key player during this momentous event in British Politics. th Tickets are £25 per person for Lunch & Coffee with payment required by Monday 14th November.

  • 1 Summary of Findings from Report Commissioned by the Conservative
    Summary of Findings from Report Commissioned by the Conservative and Unionist Party from Clifford Chance into Allegations of Bullying, Harassment and Inappropriate Behaviour and into the Knowledge of and Response to those Allegations by Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) The Party, on 8 December 2015, commissioned Clifford Chance LLP (CC) to conduct an independent investigation and report to the Conservative Party Board. This document sets out the findings of that report (the Report). CC's investigative process has been certified by Lord Pannick QC, who is satisfied that the process followed to produce the Report was fair, objective, appropriate and comprehensive. At the time the Report was commissioned, the Party committed to publishing the Report’s findings. The Party respects the rights of confidentiality and privacy of those involved in the events which the Report has considered and therefore the findings are presented in a manner that ensures that, so far as possible, no complainant or witness (other than senior CCHQ staff) can be identified. In order to achieve this, it is necessary not only to omit any such person’s name but also to avoid referencing any other details (such as dates, locations and details of alleged incidents) that might allow such person to be identified. This summary of the Report’s findings focuses on allegations that were reported or were alleged to have been reported to CCHQ. It does not include any instances of allegations of bullying, harassment and other inappropriate behaviour that are not alleged to have been reported to CCHQ and evidence relating to the circumstances leading up to Mr.

    From the Secretary of State The Rt. Hon. Grant Shapps Department • Great Minster House for Transport 33 Horseferry Road London SW1P 4DR Tel: 0300 330 3000 Sadiq Khan E-Mail: [email protected] Mayor of London Web site: www.gov.uk/dft City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA 1 June 2021 Dear Sadiq, I am writing in response to your letters dated 27th and 29th May 2021 in which you set out your thinking around the then draft settlement letter for TfL. I am pleased that we have now worked through the various issues and concluded this third extraordinary deal. This is good news for Londoners and shows this government’s ongoing commitment to the capital, with what will now be over £4bn of government emergency support provided to TfL because of fare revenues lost as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. As I mentioned when we spoke, I would like to place on record my disappointment that details of the negotiation appeared in the Financial Times prior to the deal being concluded. I had previously welcomed your suggestion that we worked together closely in a spirit of cooperation. The publication of details in advance of the settlement’s conclusion simply degrades trust and ends up serving Londoners poorly. I nonetheless propose that we put this unfortunate briefing behind us and work constructively for London’s future. Turning to the future, in the last agreement, on 31 October 2020, you committed to submit a plan for how TfL would "commit to managing its affairs to reach financial sustainability" with a target date of April 2023.

  • So Now We Know. Despite All Ed. Milliband's Promises of Change
    1 For members and supporters of Charnwood Conservative Association SEPTEMBER 2013 So now we know. Despite all Ed. Milliband’s promises of change, Labour is still run by the Unions. They choose the candidates, pick the Leader and remain Labour’s biggest do- nors– providing 77% of their fund- ing in the last quarter. We cannot let people forget this. Until Ed. Milliband stops taking his union paymasters’ cash, he will be too weak to stand up for hard working people. Instead he can only offer what the union barons want for their money. The same old Labour of more spending, more borrow- ing, more debt. And it’s hardworking people who would pay the price with higher mort- gage rates and higher bills. We can’t let this happen—please share the facts with as many people as possible.

The allure of the BBC If journalism is in crisis (Anderson et al. 2014, Pickard 2011) then who or what can save it? Of course, this crisis takes many forms yet whether the crisis affects the formerly stable professional models of liberal democracies or authoritarian environments characterized by clientilism and complicity, one potential solution is regularly proposed: an independent public service news media that is strong enough to defy the pressure of both government and market and to serve citizens without fear or favour. In this heady narrative, it is the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in particular that is often claimed to offer the best prospect of impartial, high-quality journalism that is insulated from narrow considerations of profits or politics. So, for example, in an interesting collection of case studies that demonstrate how media in a range of countries – from Latin America to Eastern Europe and from Kenya to China – have been ‘captured’ by a combination of government and business interests (Schiffrin 2017), the promotion of ‘transparently funded public service media’ is held up as a key policy measure that would help to address the problem (Nelson 2017).
