What we're talking about

Is DECC coming back, and does it need to?

James Olney

4 Feb 2020 - 10:52

At 11pm on Friday, Brexit finally got done. The EU27, originally a colloquial for the EU members who weren’t Britain, are now simply the EU. Despite the fact that the negotiations over the future UK-EU relationship will come during the year-long transition period, the PM abolished the Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) at […]

Boris Britain: Themes of the new Conservative Government

Neil McAvoy

21 Jan 2020 - 10:01

It’s fair to say that it was the size of Boris Johnson’s majority, rather than the victory itself, that proved the biggest surprise in the recent General Election. Few truly believed that a Labour Party, hampered by its unpopular leadership and seemingly unfathomable policy on Brexit, could win an outright majority. Yet even some of […]

General Election 2019: A social media muddle?

The final week of an election campaign usually sees the party leaders tour the country, doubling down on their core messaging and visiting marginal constituencies. Modern election campaigns, however, now come with a further dimension in the shape of massive online advertising spend which targets finally tuned messages to audiences broken down by age, geography, […]

General Election 2019: Lib Dems Winning Here?

Adam Isaacs

21 Nov 2019 - 11:10

Earlier this month Jo Swinson launched the Liberal Democrat campaign with an ambitious message that she is a credible candidate to be Prime Minister, and would do a better job than either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn in the role. On the back of successes in the local and European Elections earlier this year with […]

General Election 2019: Thirteen Going on Thirty… Or Fifty?

Victoria McNish

19 Nov 2019 - 16:51

In 2013 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded it was “unequivocal” that global warming was the result of human actions. The UN Secretary General (unable to avoid the pun) warned: “The heat is on. Now we must act”. So far in the 2019 General Election we’ve heard much of Labour’s ‘Green Industrial Revolution’ […]

General Election 2019: Six factors which will determine the result

George McGregor

15 Nov 2019 - 15:04

Two weeks down. Four weeks to go. The General Election campaign is now in full swing. So far the polls have shown the Conservatives comfortably ahead, with consistent leads over Labour in every opinion poll since the election was called. Of course, we all recall this was the same situation at this stage of the […]

With the General Election due to take place on Thursday 12th December, there are five weeks of campaigning before we find out whether Boris Johnson will secure a majority for the Conservatives and take the UK out the EU, or whether we may see Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister at the head of a coalition […]

Lee Whitehill

18 Feb 2019 - 12:43

So, it’s finally happened: after months of speculation, Labour’s outspoken centrist MPs have left the party, saying that the Labour leadership no longer shares their values. The MPs will sit in the House of Commons as The Independent Group and a website and social media channels were up and running by the time the seven […]

Who holds the key to a second referendum?

Lee Whitehill

30 Nov 2018 - 16:07

The dynamics of whether or not the Prime Minister will get her deal through Parliament has meant all eyes have been on rebels, both leave and remain, in her own party. However, what Labour decides to do may end up having a greater significance than events on the Conservative benches. Following months of what has […]
