Y12 - more for the Rwanda Bill case study - House of Lords first defeat of the Bill by 214-171. Also useful quote below for Parliament, PM and Constitution topics news.sky.com/story/blow-for…
🚨 BREAKING: Chris Skidmore officially resigns as an MP in protest of Rishi Sunak’s government triggering a by-election
Congress leaders reach deal on spending levels in step to averting shutdown on.ft.com/3H7PbH8
Serves as multiple examples. We will discuss which ones when we return next week.
Y12 - amazing example for role of Parliament, role of the opposition, power of backbenchers, legislative process (Report Stage), limits on PM. 22 Conservatives defied the whip. 1st govt defeat in HoC since 2019 election.
🚨 BREAKING: Rishi Sunak suffers his FIRST Commons defeat as PM over the infected blood scandal 246 to 242 in favour of a new body to help compensate - government majority wiped out Win for Labour, forcing him into a £20 billion spending commitment this year
Ministers lose infected blood vote after Tory MPs revolt. First whipped vote lost by the government since 2019 election in the Commons. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Devolution!!
🚨 | NEW: Keir Starmer will promise new powers for ALL of England’s towns and cities - the biggest expansion of devolution since Labour was last in power Means more control over housing and planning, skills, energy, transport etc - "put communities in control" [@guardian]
Bipartisanship example.
Who's the real leader of the House of Representatives? Last night, The Senate voted (77-19) to advance a bipartisan short-term funding measure (CR) to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the week. This morning, Speaker McCarthy said that the Senate CR is dead on arrival.
You guys can absolutely use this for PM being the ‘chief legislator’
We're changing the way we reach Net Zero by 2050 to ease the burden on working people. Our new approach will be pragmatic, proportionate and realistic. Here’s how 👇
Good for the ongoing consequences and impact of the EU. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
This is a wonderful example!
We're changing the way we reach Net Zero by 2050 to ease the burden on working people. Our new approach will be pragmatic, proportionate and realistic. Here’s how 👇
Pressure group example… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-664171…
Margaret Ferrier: Covid breach MP loses seat after recall petition. A MUST for your notes folks!! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
Good for committees and their role of scrutiny. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-663088…
Y12 - this is SUPERB and covers most of the UK course! Download it, save it, read it, note it!
🚨NEW REPORT Rebuilding and renewing the constitution: options for reform This joint report by Meg Russell @DrHannahWhite of @instituteforgov & @james_lisak lays out a menu of constitutional reform ideas, designed to inform party manifesto planning. ucl.ac.uk/constitution-u… 1/
“Rishi Sunak pressing ahead with bill to curb small boats.” Great example of parliamentary scrutiny, but to what avail? Good example to log Y12. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Good example of avoiding parliamentary scrutiny.
🚨 | NEW: Rishi Sunak will now be able to avoid next Monday's privileges committee report vote, which found that his Tory MPs are in contempt of Parliament, as Joe Biden will be conveniently visiting him on that day
And Harvard’s response.
Harvard loses no time in calling attention to the loophole saying they will comply with it.
Court of Appeal said the Rwanda scheme is unlawful. Now Sunak is going to the Supreme Court. Great example of the judiciary’s influence and power over the executive.
It is this country – and your government – who should decide who comes here, not criminal gangs. My statement on today’s ruling 👇
Y13 - IMPORTANT! Expected (?!) but still landmark decision! 6-3 along ideological lines. We'll compare to other cases e.g. Fisher I/II and Grutter. Super important for race rights and Supreme Court topics 👀 edition.cnn.com/2023/06/29/pol…
