Conceived in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote, and taking its inspiration from the great tradition of political pamphleteering, The New European began life as a single-issue newspaper but has since successfully broadened its reach to encompass the arts, popular culture, science and literature - besides tackling a host of geo-political issues beyond Brexit - from the rise of Trump and Boris to the bombardment WILL SELF IN THE COTSWOLDS BONNIE GREER IN IOWA of Aleppo. #149 Thursday, June 20 - Wednesday, June 26, 2019 JUST £1 WHEN YOU SUBSCRIBE £3 ROI €3 Rest of Eurozone €5 CHE F7.90 EDDIE MARSAN CORBYN IS BETRAYING THE WORKING CLASS 2019 £2.50 Thursday, January 10 - Wednesday, January 16, ROI €2.50 Rest of Eurozone €5 CHE F7.90 #127 2 EXCITING AND IN TUNE...

  • The 'Today' Programme's Coverage of the 2019
    THE BBC AND BREXIT THE ‘TODAY’ PROGRAMME’S COVERAGE OF THE 2019 EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This survey assesses coverage by BBC Radio 4’s Today programme of the European Parliamentary elections between April 12 and May 30, 2019. The volume of EU material was 28.5% of feature time, indicating the importance of the Brexit debate on the news agenda. This amounted to a third of a million words of transcripts. Standout points include: Pro-Brexit opinion was overwhelmingly swamped by those who wanted to avoid ‘no deal’. Speakers had only minimal time to express their views and presenters were not much interested in exploring the potential benefits of Brexit, but rather alleged malpractice or prejudice by pro-Brexit parties and spokesmen. The treatment of anti-Brexit figures was generally much more favourable. After the results of the poll, for example, presenters barely challenged assertions by Remain parties that they had ‘won’ (on a combined basis) the election. By contrast, Sir William Cash – brought on the programme to justify why he had described the government’s negotiating approach as ‘appeasement’ – was questioned by Nick Robinson as if his behaviour was verging on the criminal. Business News – a significant daily chunk of the Today programme – was heavily dominated by contributors who were against ‘no deal’, determined to push as hard as possible the scale of the disruption that would ensue, and who saw almost every negative business development as being the outcome of Brexit uncertainty. The perceived opportunities of Brexit were scarcely explored Almost 500 speakers (487) contributed to the Today coverage.

  • Your Guide to Eu Elections
    YOUR GUIDE TO EU ELECTIONS PB 1 How do the European elections work? Owing to the failure of the UK and the EU to reach a Brexit deal, the UK has been granted an extension to the Article 50 process for leaving the EU until 31 October 2019. This means, as David Lidington confirmed on 7 May, that because no agreement has yet been reached, European elections will be held on 23 May 2019. Vuelio’s Guide explains how these will work. Where will MEPs be elected? The UK is divided into twelve European parliamentary constituencies, each of which elects a certain number of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). These are as follows: y East Midlands – 5 MEPs y East of England – 7 MEPs y London – 8 MEPs y North East – 3 MEPs y North West – 8 MEPs y Northern Ireland – 3 MEPs y Scotland – 6 MEPs y South East – 10 MEPs y South West – 6 MEPs (this region includes Gibraltar) y Wales – 4 MEPs y West Midlands – 7 MEPs y Yorkshire & the Humber – 6 MEPs How are MEPs elected? All UK citizens, as well as Commonwealth citizens living in the UK, are entitled to vote. EU citizens living in the UK can choose between voting here or in the country they are a citizen of. All but one constituency is elected using the ‘D’Hondt’ method, a type of proportional representation. Each party puts forward a list of candidates ranked with their preferred candidate at the top and the remaining candidates in descending order. Therefore, electors can only vote for the party and not for individual candidates.
