Speech to the Oxford Media Convention - Harriet Harman CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY
Speech to the Oxford Media Convention - Harriet Harman CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Harriet Harman MP, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party and Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary said today in a speech to the Oxford Media Convention: I'm very pleased to be here today - meeting up with those of you I haven't met before and with many of you who I have known for years - but in my new capacity as Shadow Culture Secretary. At the age of 61 it’s exciting to be part of Ed Miliband's new generation. Not so much the face book generation as the face lift generation. We meet in historic times: • Never before have the creative industries been so important to help take us through these difficult economic times • And never before has the media been under such scrutiny because of the phone hacking scandal • And all of this against the backdrop of astonishing developments in technology. One of the things that we are most proud of from our time in government is the support we gave to culture, the creative industries and sport. From free entry to museums and galleries, to boosting the film industry with tax credits, to winning the Olympics. Labour supported something that is hugely important to people's lives, something we are good at in this country and something that has a massive importance in the future. If our politics is to reflect the aspirations and concerns of young people, then culture, media and sport must be at its heart. In my constituency of Camberwell and Peckham - as everywhere else - it is impossible to overstate how central culture, media and sport is in the lives of young people.

The IR35 MP Hit List the 100 Politicians Most Likely to Lose Their Seats
The UK's leading contractor site. 200,000 monthly unique visitors. GUIDES IR35 CALCULATORS BUSINESS INSURANCE BANKING ACCOUNTANTS INSURANCE MORTGAGES PENSIONS RESOURCES FREE IR35 TEST The IR35 MP hit list The 100 politicians most likely to lose their seats Last December research conducted by ContractorCalculator identified the MPs for whom it will prove most costly to lose the selfemployed vote, and published the top 20 from each party. The results were based on data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and contractor sentiment indicated by a previous ContractorCalculator survey. The full results of this research are now published, with the top 100 MPs, ordered by risk of losing their seat, due to the Offpayroll (IR35) reforms that Treasury, HMRC and the Chancellor are attempting to push through Parliament. In total, 85 MPs hold a majority in Parliament that would feasibly be overturned if the expected turnout of IR35opposing selfemployed voters from their constituency were to vote against them, and we list the next 15, making 100 in total, that are potentially under threat if the self employed voter turnout is higher than expected. "This single piece of damaging policy could prove catastrophic for all parties involved, not least the Tories, who make up 43% of the atrisk seats,” comments ContractorCalculator CEO, Dave Chaplin. “There is also potentially a lot to gain for some, but those in precarious positions will have to act swiftly and earnestly to win over contractors’ trust.” How we identified the atrisk MPs The research leveraged the data and compared the MPs majority at the last election with the likely number of selfemployed voters in their area who would turn out and vote against them.

New Labour, Globalization, and the Competition State" by Philip G
Centerfor European Studies Working Paper Series #70 New Labour, Globalization, and the Competition State" by Philip G. Cemy** Mark Evans" Department of Politics Department of Politics University of Leeds University of York Leeds LS2 9JT, UK York YOlO SDD, U.K Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] • Will also be published in Econonry andSocitD' - We would like to thank the Nuffield Foundation, the Center for European Studies, Harvard University,and the Max-Planck-Institut fur Gesellschaftsforshung, Cologne, for their support during the writing of this paper. Abstract The concept of the Competition State differs from the "Post-Fordist State" of Regulation Theory, which asserts that the contemporary restructuring of the state is aimed at maintaining its generic function of stabilizing the national polity and promoting the domestic economy in the public interest In contrast, the Competition State focuses on disempowering the state from within with regard to a range of key tasks, roles, and activities, in the face of processes of globalization . The state does not merely adapt to exogenous structural constraints; in addition, domestic political actors take a proactive and preemptive lead in this process through both policy entrepreneurship and the rearticulation of domestic political and social coalitions, on both right and left, as alternatives are incrementally eroded. State intervention itself is aimed at not only adjusting to but also sustaining, promoting, and expanding an open global economy in order to capture its perceived

Correspondence from the Rt Hon Margaret Beckett, MP, Secretary Of
Correspondence from The Rt Hon Margaret Beckett, MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to the Chairman of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee Thank you for your letter of 5 February on behalf of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee about the GM public debate. I am sorry for the delay in replying. You mentioned that the Committee was concerned about the timing of the GM public debate. As you may know, I have now agreed to extend the timetable for the public debate to allow the Public Debate Steering Board to submit their final report to Government in September. You recommended that we make public pronouncements about the Government=s policy on GM in order to draw attention to the debate. As you are aware, Michael Meacher made a speech at the Gene Futures conference on 11 February, which explained the Government=s current policy on GM, to help set the context for the debate. We will continue to identify further speech opportunities and I anticipate further Ministerial involvement in the regional meetings in May, which will launch the visible part of the public debate programme. You also expressed concern about the level of funding for the debate. You will be aware that the original estimate from COI was that the debate would cost ,250,000. Subsequently, COI revised their estimates and suggested several components of the debate that collectively totalled ,1.25 million. However, the Public Debate Steering Board did not request any particular level of funding. I have recently confirmed that Government will provide ,500,000 to fund the public debate, double the original budget.

As usual there were further cuts to the NHS in Philip Hammond’s Autumn Statement last month. The Chancellor didn’t even mention social care in his speech. Alongside local Labour councillors Jamille Mohammed, Nick Dolezal & Jasmine Ali I joined local party members in Rye Lane to show our support for the #CareForTheNHS campaign.
