Pressure from families of service personnel killed in Iraq eventually hastened the protracted process, which commenced in 2009, six years after the invasion of Iraq led by the United States with prominent UK support. The illegal war on Iraq was always about much more than the prime actors, but Tony Blair’s impatience to oust Saddam and wilful ignorance about the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq leap from his correspondence with President Bush, compiled from the Chilcot Report and reprinted here. Charged with ‘learning the lessons’ of the misadventure in Iraq, the UK has gone to war in Libya and Syria while the report of the Iraq Inquiry was under preparation. Notable and informed critics of the war, such as Dr Brian Jones, formerly of Defence Intelligence Staff, have died before having a chance to see whether all their efforts to expose the fixing of intelligence in the UK proved worth while. Reg Keys, whose son, Tom, age 20 years, was one of six Military Police killed in southern Iraq in June 2003, has consistently campaigned for justice for those who died in this unnecessary war.

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • TUC London, East and South East
    TUC London, East and South East Annual report 2018 . About the regional TUC ‘TUC: London East and the South East’ is the largest of the TUC’s regions and geographically we cover three European parliamentary constituencies or what were the government office regions: London, the South East, and East of England. Perhaps as many as two million trade unionists live and work within the region. Our regional council is appointed annually by trade our union affiliates and by county associations of trades councils. It meets four times a year to discuss both how to achieve policy determined at the annual national Trades Union Congress, and to make policies on issues specific to, or affecting, our region. At the regional council’s annual general meeting it elects its officers, and an executive committee that meets ten times a year. The officers and executive committee members serve for a year. Affiliated trade unions and county associations of trades councils also nominate to our industrial and equality sub-groups. These advisory sub-groups use their expertise, workplace and life experience to inform the activities of the regional council. In order to assist in our work fostering and supporting trade unionism in our region outside of London we have created the East of England Trade Union Network, EETUN, and the South East Trade Union Network, SETUN, within the structures of the regional TUC. Regional staff administer the regional council, deliver services to affiliates, represent the TUC in relations with public bodies, campaign for Congress policies, and support the delivery of learning and education to workers in the region.

  • Iraq Rage Drives Family Furies That Will Harry Blair at the Ballot Box | the Times
    14/05/2015 Iraq rage drives family furies that will harry Blair at the ballot box | The Times Share via Iraq rage drives family furies that will harry Blair at the ballot box By Burhan Wazir Published at 12:00AM, April 26 2005 In key constituencies across the country the casualties of war are making sure that they are heard THIS is about rage. Incandescent anger. The kind of finger­curling, jaw­tightening fury that happens to everyone at least once in their lifetime. As Rose Gentle put it: “You get so angry that you can’t see straight. You get so angry that nothing else matters. The rage stops you from grieving for your dead son.” The election, once pungent with the odour of familiarity has, in a number of constituencies, turned into a boxing match with a host of alternative and independent candidates launching a jeremiad against key ministerial constituencies. In seats such as East Kilbride, Strathaven & Lesmahagow Birmingham Hodge Hill and Sedgefield, Labour Party workers, fearful of being shouted at, keep a low profile from anti­war candidates. “Tony Blair lied, my son died,” shouted Rose Gentle, 40, campaigning in East Kilbride, a blighted new town outside Glasgow, seemingly cursed by cold weather, where she is challenging Adam Ingram, the Armed Forces Minister. As wind and rain whistled through wide avenues, Mrs Gentle, whose son Gordon, 19, died in Iraq last summer while serving with the Royal Highland Fusiliers, dropped leaflets door­to­door accompanied by supporters. “I just take it day by day,” she said, rubbing her hands together.

  • 13651 20 Reproduced from Electronic Media, Promoted By
    13651_20 Reproduced from electronic media, promoted by Jennie Formby, General Secretary, the Labour Party, on behalf of the Labour Party, both at, Southside, 105 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6QT. I want to start by thanking you for taking the time to respond to this consultation. Coronavirus is the biggest crisis our country has faced in a generation. It is a health crisis, an economic crisis and – for many – a personal crisis. Our immediate attention must be on responding to the pandemic and ensuring the health and safety of people across the country. In this context, it is appropriate that our policy-making in response to coronavirus is swift and responsive to the circumstances. But this is also an important moment of change for our country. The decisions made over the next five to ten years will fundamentally alter people’s lives for generations to come. It is therefore right that we pause and consider the context and values of our policies, as we look to build our policy platform over the coming years ahead of the next General Election. The Labour Party is an incredible and powerful force for good. But we’ve just lost four elections in a row. It is essential that we use the next few years to reconnect across the country, to re-engage with our communities and voters, to establish a coalition across our towns and our cities, regions and nations, to speak for the whole of the country. Policy development is central to that aim. I want this consultation to engage all parts of our Party in a broad discussion about our beliefs and principles, and the issues we all connect on.

    ) [email protected] x +44 (0)330 822 0321 = www.antisemitism.uk Rebecca Hilsenrath Chief Executive Equality and Human Rights Commission Fleetbank House 2-6 Salisbury Square London EC4Y 8JX By post and e-mail 31st July 2018 Dear Ms Hilsenrath, We are writing to you regarding antisemitism in the Labour Party (“the Party”). The Party is established as an unincorporated association, governed by its rule book. It is therefore obliged by the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 (“the Act”) relating both to political parties and associations, as defined by section 107 of the Act. We wish to refer the Party to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (“the Commission”) on this basis that the Party has discriminated against Jewish members and/or associates contrary to sections 101(2)(d) and/or 101(3)(d) of the Act, and victimised members and/or associates who have spoken out against antisemitism, contrary to sections 101(6)(d) and/or 101(7)(d) of the Act. DISCRIMINATION The Party has become an association in which Jewish members and/or associates feel discriminated against to the extent that they feel compelled to leave it in significant numbers, both because the Party has discriminated against Jews by failing to act against antisemitic members and/or associates, and because the Party has failed to address complaints of antisemitism in a fair and efficient manner. We charge that the Party has, through years of deliberate or reckless dereliction of its duty to enforce its own rules, created an atmosphere in which Jewish members and/or associates are discriminated against.

Under this Tory-led Government the vast majority of working people have been left worse off, while the richest few have pocketed rich rewards. It beggars belief that in Britain in the twenty first century thousands of people are having to turn to food banks to feed their families, but are labelled shirkers by this Government. Our economic situation means that in As Chair of the NPF and the NEC I’ve also government there won’t be much money wanted to reaffirm the importance of equality around.
