  • Who's Progressive Now?
    Who’s progressive now? Greg Clark MP Jeremy Hunt MP Who’s progressive now? Greg Clark MP Jeremy Hunt MP 1 Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Peter Franklin, Joanna Garner, Adam Smith and David O’Leary for their help in preparing this booklet. 2 Chapter 1: Progressive politics Introduction – whatever happened to the ‘Progressive Consensus’? During the last five years, Gordon Brown and his retinue of younger advisers have been on a quest – to define a political project that will in turn define his premiership. It has proved to be an arid task. Smith Institute seminars in 11 Downing Street have cast around in vain for a purpose that could be described coherently, let alone one that could be said to define the Brown vision. In the end, the task has been abandoned. Three events in the space of three weeks signalled the emptiness of Labour’s intellectual larder. First - the new Prime Minister’s barren conference speech in Brighton in September revealed that the preceding groundwork of seminars, symposia and speeches had offered up nothing usable. Next, the cancellation of the expected election, which was explained as allowing the Prime Minister another two years to set out his vision, was in fact a recognition that there was no vision to set out that would survive the scrutiny of an election campaign. Then came the intellectual surrender of the following week, in which Conservative reforms to inheritance tax set the agenda for what was, in effect, the first Budget of the Brown premiership. With no new idea that did not come from the Opposition, Alistair Darling’s statement signalled the end of the new regime’s ambition to forge an agenda of its own.

  • The Labour Party Is More Than the Shadow Cabinet, and Corbyn Must Learn to Engage with It
    The Labour Party is more than the shadow cabinet, and Corbyn must learn to engage with it blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/the-labour-party-is-more-than-the-shadow-cabinet/ 1/11/2016 The three-day reshuffle of the shadow cabinet might have helped Jeremy Corbyn stamp his mark on the party but he needs to do more to ensure his leadership lasts, writes Eunice Goes. She explains the Labour leader must engage with all groups that have historically made up the party, while his rhetoric should focus more on policies that resonate with the public. Doing so will require a stronger vision of what he means by ‘new politics’ and, crucially, a better communications strategy. By Westminster standards Labour’s shadow cabinet reshuffle was ‘shambolic’ and had the key ingredients of a ‘pantomime’. At least, it was in those terms that it was described by a large number of Labour politicians and Westminster watchers. It certainly wasn’t slick, or edifying. Taking the best of a week to complete a modest shadow cabinet reshuffle was revealing of the limited authority the leader Jeremy Corbyn has over the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). Against the wishes of the Labour leader, the Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn and the Shadow Chief Whip Rosie Winterton kept their posts. However, Corbyn was able to assert his authority in other ways. He moved the pro-Trident Maria Eagle from Defence and appointed the anti-Trident Emily Thornberry to the post. He also imposed some ground rules on Hillary Benn and got rid of Michael Dugher and Pat McFadden on the grounds of disloyalty.

  • Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill Committee Stage Report Bill 211 2010-12 RESEARCH PAPER 11/62 24 August 2011
    Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill Committee Stage Report Bill 211 2010-12 RESEARCH PAPER 11/62 24 August 2011 This is a report on the House of Commons Committee Stage of the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill. It complements Research Paper 11/46 prepared for the Commons Second Reading. Report Stage and Third Reading are scheduled for 5 September 2011. Significant areas of debate at Committee Stage included: the lack of a legal definition for overnight residence requirements that could be imposed on suspects; the fact that the Home Secretary would no longer be able to geographically relocate terror suspects; proposals to allow suspects access to a mobile phone and computer. Some Members expressed a particular worry about the inability to renew measures imposed on suspects after two years, unless there was evidence of new terrorism-related activity. Only a small series of Government amendments, which were mostly described as drafting or technical amendments, were made in Committee. One of these extended certain provisions (relating to devolved matters) to Scotland with the agreement of the Scottish Government.

  • Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
    Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times.
