The weekend speculation is that the Government will legislate to re-organise the NHS in England over the coming months. An inspired leak has allowed Ministers to test public reactions, and hopefully to avoid the debacle that surrounded the Coalition’s NHS reform package almost a decade ago. The history of the changes which brought CCGs into […]

Online political debate in the UK this week has not so much revolved around parliamentary affairs, but rather about the goings on of a small Parish Council in Cheshire, the commentariat obsessed with answering one key question: Did Jackie Weaver really have no authority? (For the mercifully uninitiated I refer to a video making the

We saw an interesting complaint raised in the Commons this week about the High Speed Rail (West Midlands-Crewe) Bill, which we have seen (and commented on) before. The amendment that piqued our interest was one mandating a new consultation on the effects that HS2 construction works are having on communities and environments in Shropshire, Staffordshire

This weekend the Sunday Times published eye-catching polling which highlighted significant changes in public attitudes towards the continued existence of the United Kingdom in its current form. Although support for Scottish independence has been high for some time, there have been marked increases in support for both a united Ireland and Welsh independence (though it

The aviation sector is currently undergoing many trials. Covid-19 has led to the cancellation of millions of flights globally and is proving a great challenge not only to carriers, but to everyone working in the aviation industry. The other great challenge is the response of the aviation industry as a major polluter, to climate change.

It’s been a week of children and planes this week in Westminster. Not children in planes, that would lead to the sort of disaster that only comes about when I attempt to be clever at any point in my life. So have government been learning lessons? And will they fly high off the back of
