  • How Eurosceptic Is Your Mp?
    27th July 2017 HOW EUROSCEPTIC IS YOUR MP? Today we are publishing How Eurosceptic Is Your MP?, a resource detailing the voting record on key Eurosceptic issues of every MP elected in the 2017 General Election, as well as their stance in the EU Referendum last year. The resource is intended as a simple guide for Eurosceptic voters, and lists every single sitting MP with their party, constituency, stance in the EU Referendum, and voting record – whether they voted (and whether they were eligible to vote), and whether they voted for or against the Eurosceptic stance on each vote. The resource will be updated throughout the Brexit negotiating period as further Brexit-related votes in Parliament are held. KEY: Referendum: Stance in the EU Referendum, 23rd June 2016 Vote 1: FOR the Article 50 Bill, 8th February 2017 Vote 2: REJECT Lords Amendment 1 to the Article 50 Bill, unilaterally guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens in the UK, 13th March 2017 Vote 3: REJECT Lords Amendment 2 to the Article 50 Bill, creating a Parliamentary veto on the final Brexit deal, 13th March 2017 ✓: MP voted the Eurosceptic way in this vote ✖: MP did not vote the Eurosceptic way in this vote A: MP was absent from this vote, due to abstention, illness, or other reasons N/A: MP was ineligible to vote, either due to being Speaker, Deputy Speaker, or not an MP at the time of the vote VOTING RECORDS: MP Party Constituency Referendum Vote 1 Vote 2 Vote 3 Stephen Kinnock Lab Aberavon Remain ✓ ✖ ✖ Guto Bebb Con Aberconwy Remain ✓ ✓ ✓ Kirsty Blackman SNP Aberdeen North

  • Southampton Itchen Report
    SOUTHAMPTON ITCHEN REPORT Methodology: • Survey of n=500 respondents with a max margin of error of +/-4.4 percent at a 95 percent confidence interval. • Respondents were Southampton Itchen residents and eligible to vote in UK General Elections. • Minimum quotas set by age, gender, region, education, occupation, tenure and ethnicity, and data weighted where necessary to ensure it is representative of the constituency. • Telephone poll between 12th – 13th July. • Soft voters are those voters who are undecided or likely to change their mind. They are the key group of voters that will decide the election outcome. MP Royston Smith 2017 General Election Results 46.5% Conservatives 2.4% UKIP 46.5% Labour 1.5% Green 3.0% Liberal Democrats -- Other Summary: Voters in Southampton Itchen think that Brexit is the most important issue facing the country (37%) but they are unhappy with the Government’s handling of the negotiations (74%). Whilst most are aware of the Chequers Brexit Deal (78%) nearly half of voters in Southampton Itchen oppose it (49%) with only 24% supporting the Deal. Voters in Southampton Itchen expect it will have a negative effect on both the country (56%) and them and their families (47%). Voters don’t think it respects the EU Referendum results (50%), or that it is reflective of a true Brexit (64%). Consequentially, respondents say that if their local Conservative MP supported the Chequers Deal, they would be less likely to support them at the next election (37%). Q) If a General Election was held today, what is the most important issue that would determine if and how you vote? That could be any local or national issue or political figure or party that is relevant to you in determining your vote if a General Election was held today.

  • The Cold Man of Europe – 2015
    COLD MAN OF EUROPE 2015 UPDATE October 2015 Westgate House 2a Prebend Street London N1 8PT 020 7359 8000 [email protected] The Cold Man of Europe – 2015 How the UK’s housing performs against comparable European countries in terms of fuel poverty and energy efficiency. Written by Pedro Guertler, Jack Carrington and Antonia Jansz Summary This briefing compares the state of the UK housing stock and fuel poverty levels with 15 other European countries. It concludes that no other country of the 16 assessed performed as poorly overall as the UK across the range of indicators. The UK has among the highest rates of fuel poverty and one of the most energy inefficient housing stocks in Europe. Despite the fact that it has amongst the lowest energy prices, the UK ranks very poorly in terms of the affordability of space heating and fuel poverty, ranking 14th out of 16 on both indicators. It is the poor state of our housing stock that is the main cause of these problems. In terms of households reporting that their home is in a poor state of repair, the UK ranks 12th out of 16. In terms of energy efficiency, out of 11 countries for which data is available, the UK’s walls are ranked 7th, roofs are ranked 8th, floors are ranked 10th and windows are ranked 11th. The key results are shown in Table 1 below. The latest official European data are used for this briefing, and the UK’s performance compared to a previous assessment two years ago1. 1 http://www.ukace.org/2013/03/fact-file-the-cold-man-of-europe/ Association for the Conservation of Energy | briefing

  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline
