NATIONAL PRESIDENT You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that immigration is indeed a major IAN HODSON debate that needs to take place in the UK, but it is all the other things that UKIP talk about that we should be afraid of. For one, their deputy president talked about privatising the NHS. Farage wants deregulation of the laws that come from Europe because they are restrictive on employers and business – but remember these are the laws that guarantee your entitlement to holiday pay, reasonable health and safety protections and the right not to be forced into excessive hours. Imagine if Miliband was constantly photographed with a beer and fag in hand. The press would be talking about him promoting health issues that cost the NHS a fortune every year (just look what they did when he had a bacon butty for breakfast!). But put the same items in the hands of the smiling xenophobe Farage and they brand him a 'man of the people'. For all the names he calls Cameron now, that is who he will be voting with if he gets into parliament. They are a right wing organisation who have only one interest in working people and that is their vote, so think over the coming months about where your cross is going and what it will in store for the future.

    Northumberland Archives Accessions July – Dec. 2010 Each year we receive several hundred new accessions (deposits of records or artefacts). These can range in size from a single item, for example, a photograph, through to several hundred boxes of records. As we accept records into our custody we create an accession record. The information that we record includes a brief description of the item, covering dates, details of the provenance of the item and the status of the deposit, in other words, whether it is a purchase, deposit (long term loan) or a gift. The vast majority of records are deposited with us and remain the property of the depositor and their heirs. We regularly produce a list of the accessions received over a six month period. This is generated from our electronic collections management system and provides brief details of the deposit. If you would like further information about the deposit you should consult our electronic catalogue or speak with a member of staff who will be pleased to advise. The purpose of the list is to allow users to become more aware of new deposits of material. Not all of the items that are referred to on the list will be available for public consultation. Some may be subject to a closure period because of confidential content. Others may not yet be catalogued and therefore cannot be produced.

  • Global City Theory in Question: the Case of London and the Logics of Capital
    GLOBAL CITY THEORY IN QUESTION: THE CASE OF LONDON AND THE LOGICS OF CAPITAL Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Delphine Ancien, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Kevin R. Cox, Adviser Professor Nancy Ettlinger ________________________ Professor Edward J. Malecki Adviser Geography Graduate Program Professor Darla K. Munroe Copyright by Delphine Ancien 2008 ABSTRACT Since the 1980s the greater London area has been home to an increasingly large proportion of the British population, economic activities and profits; its population growth has been quite phenomenal. Many observers over the past few years have been warning that this growth threatens to be self-inhibiting. This has to do with London’s escalating housing costs. Housing shortages in turn tend to create labor shortages in low- skilled low-paying jobs as much as for middle-and-higher-income positions. This problem is quite common in large economically-booming cities, and even more so in what have been identified as ‘world’ or ‘global cities’, such New York City, Tokyo, and London. These cities are characterized, in particular, by their concentration of command and control functions of the world economy, and especially global financial functions. These have become a crucial aspect of capitalism in an era of increased globalization and financialization of capital. However, although the world city and global city literatures appear as a very important departure point for analyzing London’s housing crisis and, crucially from the standpoint of this dissertation, the ways different agents and coalitions of actors have been approaching this issue, I argue that it is necessary to go beyond the rather standard world/global city accounts that have ensued.

  • Appendix: “Ideology, Grandstanding, and Strategic Party Disloyalty in the British Parliament”
    Appendix: \Ideology, Grandstanding, and Strategic Party Disloyalty in the British Parliament" August 8, 2017 Appendix Table of Contents • Appendix A: Wordscores Estimation of Ideology • Appendix B: MP Membership in Ideological Groups • Appendix C: Rebellion on Different Types of Divisions • Appendix D: Models of Rebellion on Government Sponsored Bills Only • Appendix E: Differences in Labour Party Rebellion Following Leadership Change • Appendix F: List of Party Switchers • Appendix G: Discussion of Empirical Model Appendix A: Wordscores Estimation of Ideology This Appendix describes our method for ideologically scaling British MPs using their speeches on the welfare state, which were originally produced for a separate study on welfare reform (O'Grady, 2017). We cover (i) data collection, (ii) estimation, (iii) raw results, and (iv) validity checks. The resulting scales turn out to be highly valid, and provide an excellent guide to MPs' ideologies using data that is completely separate to the voting data that forms the bulk of the evidence in our paper. A1: Collection of Speech Data Speeches come from an original collection of every speech made about issues related to welfare in the House of Commons from 1987-2007, covering the period over which the Labour party moved 1 to the center under Tony Blair, adopted and enacted policies of welfare reform, and won office at the expense of the Conservatives. Restricting the speeches to a single issue area is useful for estimating ideologies because with multiple topics there is a danger of conflating genuine extremism (a tendency to speak in extreme ways) with a tendency or requirement to talk a lot about topics that are relatively extreme to begin with (Lauderdale and Herzog, 2016).

    Dissent and Rebellion in the House of Commons: A Social Network Analysis of Brexit-Related Divisions in the 57th Parliament Carla Intal1 and Taha Yasseri1;2;3;4∗ 1Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK 2School of Sociology, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland 3Geary Institute for Public Policy, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland 4Alan Turing Institute, London, UK May 28, 2021 Abstract The British party system is known for its discipline and cohesion, but it remains wedged on one issue: European integration. We offer a methodology using social network analysis that considers the indi- vidual interactions of MPs in the voting process. Using public Par- liamentary records, we scraped votes of individual MPs in the 57th parliament (June 2017 to April 2019), computed pairwise similarity scores and calculated rebellion metrics based on eigenvector centrali- ties. Comparing the networks of Brexit- and non-Brexit divisions, our methodology was able to detect a significant difference in eurosceptic behaviour for the former, and using a rebellion metric we predicted how MPs would vote in a forthcoming Brexit deal with over 90% ac- arXiv:1908.08859v3 [physics.soc-ph] 27 May 2021 curacy.

Throughout its contemporary history, its two main parties|Labour and Conser- vative|has lent credibility to the Parliamentary process, setting the landscape for the effective implementation of policies in the British government. It is notable, however, that the cohesion and unity in the modern British party system is persistently wedged by one issue, which is that of European integration.

  • Arts Lottery Funding Recipient Constituencies Per Capita, 2015 & 2016 Combined
    Arts Lottery funding recipient constituencies per capita, 2015 & 2016 combined Published 25 May 2017 Following on from The Stage article ‘Revealed: Which UK constituencies get the most – and least – Lottery cash for the arts’ below is the full list of Arts Lottery funding across 659 UK Parliamentary Constituencies per capita. DCMS publishes details of all lottery grant recipients on their website. If you combine all ‘Arts’ awards across the UK in 2015 and 2016 and then divide by the overall size of the electorate, the average per capita amount per constituent across the UK is £13.10, excluding the 1,928 grants worth £101 million that were not designated to a constituency (16% of the total amount of grants awarded). £ Total Arts Lottery £ Per UK Constituency MP Grants Capita 2014 & 2015 1 Leeds Central Hilary Benn (L) 46,596,403 569.65 2 Cities of London and Westminster Mark Field (C) 34,290,940 562.22 3 Birmingham, Ladywood Shabana Mahmood (L) 33,109,864 485.99 4 Cardiff South and Penarth Stephen Doughty (L Co-op) 25,727,041 338.49 5 Islington South and Finsbury Emily Thornberry (L) 14,673,010 215.38 6 Glasgow Central Alison Thewliss (SNP) 12,337,293 173.9 7 Hackney South and Shoreditch Meg Hillier (L Co-op) 10,926,061 128.59 8 Manchester Central Lucy Powell (L Co-op) 10,701,760 124.33 9 Vauxhall Kate Hoey (L) 10,020,186 121.85 10 Bristol West Thangam Debbonaire (L) 10,427,938 114.3 11 Edinburgh East Tommy Sheppard (SNP) 7,375,694 109.85 12 Poole Robert Syms (C) 7,904,345 108.94 13 Bermondsey and Old Southwark Neil Coyle (L) 8,514,689

  • Invest, Don't Cut the Predicted Impact of Government Policy on Funding For
    Invest, Don’t Cut The predicted impact of Government policy on funding for schools and academies by 2020 A report by NUT and ATL This report presents findings from an NUT / ATL interactive website which demonstrates the likely impact on schools and academies of the Government’s current school funding policies and its plan to redistribute existing funding between schools in England - www.schoolcuts.org.uk The interactive website allows users to access detailed predictions for every school’s funding per pupil in real terms, as affected by the Government’s proposal to implement a new funding formula for schools alongside a freeze in funding per pupil and cost increases imposed by Government. The predictions are based on publicly available government data and the most robustly constructed proposed funding formula for schools currently available. With schools already struggling to cope, the Government plans what the Institute for Fiscal Studies has described as the largest real terms cut in school funding in a generation. We know that children are already suffering – class sizes are rising, curriculum choices are being cut, pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are losing vital support and school staff are losing their jobs. Instead of investing more money in education to address the funding shortages already hitting schools and academies, the Government plans only to move existing money around the country through a new funding formula. For every school which gains from this, others will lose – and almost every school will lose when the impact of inflation and other cost increases, against which the funding freeze offers no protection, are also taken into account.
