  • Implications for United Kingdom Nuclear Deterrence Should the Union Fail
    Implications for United Kingdom nuclear deterrence should the Union fail POLICY BRIEF EURO-ATLANTIC SECURITY Rear Admiral John Gower CB OBE April 2021 The European Leadership Network (ELN) is an independent, non-partisan, pan-European network of nearly 300 past, present and future European leaders working to provide practical real-world solutions to political and security challenges. About the author Rear Admiral John Gower CB OBE, served, until his retirement in Dec 2014, as Assistant Chief of Defence Staff (Nuclear & Chemical, Biological) in the UK MoD. Previously, he had spent nearly half his 36-year military career at sea in ships and submarines culminating in the sequential command of two globally deployed submarines. He then spent 17 years ashore, mostly in the MoD in London, increasingly specialising in UK nuclear weapon and counter-CBRN policy but also with time in Washington DC as the Assistant Naval Attaché and twice on the staff of the UK Defence Academy. He had a key leadership role in the UK contribution to the international activity between 2011 and 2014 to counter the threat of Syria’s CW programme, culminating in the successful removal and destruction of Assad’s UN-declared stocks. With very close ties to his US and French counterparts, he represented the UK in senior relevant NATO committees for the last 6 years of his career. While committed, through experience and analysis, to the currently necessary existence of strategic nuclear deterrence, he advocates broadly for continued actions from the nuclear weapons states to reduce their reliance on these weapons for their broader national security and to seek pragmatic yet innovative ways to make progress on all fronts in pursuit of their obligations under the NPT.

  • Renewal 29.2.Indd
    SCOTLAND The future of the union Pauline Bryan The Scottish electorate is divided down the middle on the question of independence. A federal settlement based on the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity offers a route forward. Labour’s future in Scotland depends on its ability to describe the kind of society progressive constitutional change can deliver. his article was written against a rapidly changing political landscape in Scotland. Almost every day brought a new development. In late March 2021 T the Report from the Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints and the Report from James Hamilton, the Independent Advisor on the Scottish Ministerial Code, were published; two days later Alex Salmond launched a new political party. Not an untypical week in Scottish politics. This article will outline how Scottish politics has developed since devolution. It will look more generally at recent demands for independence and will consider whether devolving powers is a way of satisfying demands for more autonomy or a spur to greater dissatisfaction. Scotland went into its seventh Scottish Parliamentary election during the most unusual circumstances of a global pandemic. What would have been expected to be a single-issue election on a second referendum now had to take account of dealing with and recovering from the pandemic. 81 RENEWAL Vol 29 No 2 Background For the past ten years being politically active in Scotland has felt like being at the centre of a maelstrom. Since 2011, when Alex Salmond’s Scottish National Party (SNP) became the first ever majority government in the Scottish Parliament, it has been hard to draw breath.

    Decision of the Election Committee on a due impartiality complaint from the Alba Party in relation to the BBC’s coverage of the Scottish Parliamentary Election Publication date: 28 April 2021 Contents Section 1. Introduction and summary 1 2. Background 4 3. The Committee’s Decision 16 Annex A1. Statutory Framework and Sections Five and Six of the Broadcasting Code 29 Decision of the Election Committee on a due impartiality complaint from the Alba Party in relation to the BBC’s coverage of the Scottish Parliamentary Election 1. Introduction and summary 1.1 Ofcom is the UK’s independent broadcast regulator. As a post-broadcast regulator, we assess content once it has been broadcast. 1.2 During an election period, Ofcom establishes an Election Committee 1 which has delegated authority from the Ofcom Board to consider due impartiality complaints in respect of election-related programmes where the complaint, if upheld, might require redress before the election. 1.3 The Election Committee 2 has considered a complaint from the Alba Party (“the Complainant”) about the BBC’s coverage of it so far during the run-up to the Scottish Parliamentary elections due to take place on 6 May 2021 (“the Complaint”). This included coverage of the Alba Party in relation to: a) Election Scotland 2021: the Leaders' Debate, broadcast on BBC One Scotland and the BBC News Channel on 30 March 2021 at 7.50pm ("the Leaders' Debate"); and b) the BBC's news coverage and news bulletins, across its radio and television services, during the election period for the Scottish Parliamentary elections.

  • Letter from Ofcom to Mr David Halliday, on a Due Impartiality Complaint
    Adam Baxter Director, Standards and Audience Protection Mr David Halliday Content Standards, Licensing and Enforcement Broadcasting and Online Content Group BY EMAIL TO: [] Direct line: [] Email: [] 4 May 2021 Dear Mr Halliday, RE: DECISION OF THE OFCOM ELECTION COMMITTEE, DUE IMPARTIALITY IN RELATION TO THE BBC’S COVERAGE OF THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION (27 April 2021) Thank you for your email dated 3 May 2021, in which you express your client’s dissatisfaction with the above-referenced decision of the Election Committee (“the Decision”); and identify further examples (subsequent to the Decision) of what you consider is a structural bias within the BBC against the Alba Party during the election period. We deal with each of these points in turn below. In doing so, and for completeness, we note that Section 3 and Annex 1 of the Decision set out the relevant statutory framework and rules of Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code (“the Code”). The Committee’s decision of 27 April 2021 As explained in its Terms of Reference, the Election Committee’s decisions are final and are not subject to internal review1. However, we convened the Election Committee again today to urgently consider your email of 3 May 2021, which included a new complaint of evidence of a structural bias within the BBC against the Alba Party and in doing so, the Committee responds to the particular points raised below. Inviting further representations from the BBC following Mr Salmond’s hearing You have suggested in your recent email that Ofcom should not have gone back to the BBC after Mr Salmond’s oral submissions as the BBC had already indicated that their participation in the process was concluded.
