20121126 Political Party Profiles 2011 Risk profiles 2012 update We have developed formal processes to enable us to deploy our resources more effectively. This includes the generation of risk profiles to inform our audit strategy. These profiles bring together various different pieces of information relating to parties’ financial characteristics, level of compliance with statutory obligations and scale of operation. Similar profiles are developed for accounting units with either income or expenditure over £100,000. Returns data 2009 - 2011 Next update October 2013 Find out more about our policy and risk profiles on our website at: http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/party-finance/enforcement/risk- Key Financial risk This indicates the financial scale, cash flow and past accounting accuracy of the party. We weight these indicators to criteria produce a rating of A, B or C for each party. A rating of ‘C’ may indicate, for instance, a party with high levels of debt Profiled A-C that has had its recent statements of accounts qualified by an auditor. A ‘B’ rating may be a relatively high-income party with no material inaccuracies in its recent accounts. An ‘A’ rating will indicate all other parties. Compliance risk criteria This indicates a party’s level of compliance with their statutory obligations over a period of three years. The levels of Profiled high, compliance are broadly categorised as being either ‘high’, ‘medium’ or ‘low’. medium or low Operational risk criteria This helps to illustrate the scale of a party’s activity and therefore how significant the impact of a failure to comply Profiled 1-5 with the regulatory requirements might be. The higher the number is the larger the scale of operation a party has.

  • Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

  • Bears and Traditional Medicine World Animal Protection Email: [email protected]
    Correspondent: Mr Gilbert M. Sape Global Head of Campaign - Bears and Traditional Medicine World Animal Protection Email: [email protected] Joint open letter to: Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Dr Zhang Qi Director General Co-ordinator of Traditional and Complementary World Health Organisation Medicine Unit (TCM) Avenue Appia 20 Department of Service Delivery and Safety 1211 Geneva World Health Organisation Switzerland Avenue Appia 20 1211 Geneva Switzerland 6th April 2020 Dear Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Dr Zhang Qi, COVID-19: Health risks and wildlife1 markets – the need for a permanent global ban on wildlife markets and a highly precautionary approach to wildlife trade. The undersigned organisations acknowledge and commend the World Health Organisation’s current efforts to contain the pandemic spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). On the occasion of World Health Day, in the midst of a global pandemic believed to have originated in a live wildlife market, we call upon the WHO to publicly and unequivocally state the proven link between these markets and serious threats to human health. In line with its stated mission to serve public health at all times, we urge the WHO to recommend that governments worldwide permanently ban live wildlife markets and the use of wildlife in traditional medicine. This decisive action, well within the WHO’s mandate, would be an impactful first step in adopting a highly precautionary approach to wildlife trade that poses a risk to human health. While a robust global response is critical in detecting, treating and reducing transmission, it is equally necessary to take vital measures to prevent similar emerging infectious diseases developing into pandemics with the associated threats to human life, and social and economic well-being.

  • NEP Manifesto 2016.Pub
    Come and join us Let’s help North East England win Manifesto 2016 Why can’t we be treated just like Scotland? Why can’t the people of North East England have one of the ‘most powerful devolved Parliaments in the world’? Why shouldn’t the North East equally enjoy high rates of UK Government funding? Just over our border, our closest neighbours, our fellow UK citizens, already benefit from a democratically elected, devolved government which has power to run its own education, health and social care services and a great deal more. The Scottish Government can plan, invest, redevelop its economy and decide its own priorities leaving only a few functions – defence, foreign policy, immigration, in the hands of the UK. With generous public finances the school children of Coldstream, Jedburgh, Dunbar are able to look forward to free Higher Education, older people in need of long term care do not have to make any financial contribution and prescriptions are free. Literally, one step to the south, if the public finances of North East England were governed by the same formula we would have more than £1billion per annum extra to spend in our region. Instead, our public services are already being decimated and are about to be utterly shredded through the removal of Government financial support and the requirement that this, the poorest, most highly Council Taxed region in England makes up the deficit through further tax rises and by taking responsibility for raising income from business rates. The grotesque unfairness of this developing situation is further emphasised by the collusion of Labour Council leaders, Labour and Conservative MPs and a few members of the North East business elite in a form of ‘devolution’ which is nothing of the sort and would be treated with derisive contempt in Edinburgh, Cardiff, or Belfast.

All rights reserved. 1 | 18 European Parliament Elections 2014 1.0 Introduction This briefing is part of DeHavilland EU’s Foresight Report series on the 2014 European elections and provides a preliminary overview of the candidates standing in the UK for election to the European Parliament in 2014. In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

  • The Port Securityscape an Ethnography
    The port securityscape an ethnography by Yarin Eski Thesis submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social and Political Sciences University of Glasgow Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research 63 Gibson Street Glasgow G12 8LR Scotland Prof Fergus McNeill (first supervisor) Prof Simon Mackenzie (second supervisor) Dr Nicole Bourque (internal examiner) Prof Ian Loader (external examiner) Abstract 9/11 changed the face of maritime transport that is responsible for moving 80% of everything we consume. Ports are vital hubs in that maritime transport and any disruption there instantly affects global trade. To protect the global supply chain from crime and terrorism, both must be disrupted locally in the port by port police and security officers that are responsible for port security at operational level. Public and critical criminological attention to these key security actors, however, is virtually non-existent. This thesis therefore explores how their occupational realities and identities are (re)established in two major European ports, by providing an ethnographic account. To do so, the thesis builds on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg between 2011 and 2012, during which everyday policing and security work has been documented, followed by a thematic analysis. The key argument runs thus: the port is a local space for the global trade, which is underappreciated and underestimated by the public, and has its police and security professionals in place both aboard and on shore who protect and defend that vital trade site. The aggressive commercialist governmentality that goes on behind that vital global trade is unwillingly yielded to by these guardians but not without any bottom-up resistance.

  • Letter to the European Commission
    To: Commissioners Kyriakides and Wojciechowski European Commission B-1049 Brussels, Belgium Please reply to: Animal Politics Foundation [email protected] Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 32 1012RZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands Subject: Live animal transports 15th of April 2021 Dear Commissioners Kyriakides and Wojciechowski, We, politicians from all over the world, call on the European Commission to take immediate steps to ensure effective protection of animals during long-distance transport. Article 13 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU stipulates that, as sentient beings, full regard should be paid to animal welfare requirements. However, time and time again, it has been shown that this fundamental part of the EU treaties is being ignored in the case of long-distance live animal transport. We ask the European Commission to act with the urgency appropriate to such situations involving the life and death of sentient beings. Millions of animals are transported annually, both within the European Union and to third countries. Animals are transported in terrible conditions, on journeys that can last several days, weeks or even months. They are crammed inside often dirty vehicles (trucks, vessels, and airplanes), suffer from high temperatures, dehydration, a lack of ventilation and stress. Many die during the journey. The recent tragedies on board the Queen Hind, Karim Allah and Elbeik vessels show it is time to take action. In all these cases, contingency plans were lacking, massive and severe animal suffering and the death of thousands of animals as a result. COVID-19 has worsened the situation: animals are regularly stuck at borders, sometimes with more than a 12-hour delay.
