In this extraordinary new book, former Secretary of State Penny Mordaunt and co-author Chris Lewis build on the success of their Sunday Times-bestselling Greater: Britain After the Storm to celebrate the traditions and values that underpin British life.Pomp & Circumstance explores Britains traditions both the ancient and the new. From coronations and national events to local customs, they provide stability, reinforce identity and foster resilience to help us steer a course through the uncertainties of tomorrow. Nations, organisations and communities that have them thrive. Where they are absent, it is harder to adapt to the fast-changing world.At a time of great worry about our ability to adapt to an uncertain world, this book should give every Briton confidence and courage. It contains a unique perspective from someone who has had a ringside seat at many of our national events and crises over many years. Mordaunt, who in her ceremonial role as Lord President of the Council famously carried the Sword of State and presented the Jewelled Sword of Offering to King Charles III at his coronation, examines areas of traditional British culture including the monarchy, Parliament, the law, sport and local traditions, as well as values such as sacrifice, courage and remembrance to show how a country often thought of as old-fashioned actually uses its historical conventions to navigate the future.Far from being a brake on progress, our traditions offer a predictable rhythm to life, promote values, encourage reflection and create a sense of continuity while allowing room for innovation and growth.

As the party that has held power more times than any other, the Conservatives have played a crucial role in the shaping of British society. And yet the leaders who have stood at its helm from Sir Robert Peel to Rishi Sunak, via Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher have steered the party vessel with enormously varying degrees of success, particularly latterly, when the short but destructive tenures of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss did much to damage the partys reputation for competence.The requirements, techniques and goals of Conservative leadership since the partys nineteenth-century factional breakaway have been forced to evolve almost beyond recognition and not all its leaders have managed to keep up.This comprehensive and enlightening book now fully updated with chapters on all Conservative leaders up to Rishi Sunak and an assessment of the partys leadership in relation to Brexit considers the attributes and achievements of each leader in the context of their respective time and diplomatic landscape. Offering a compelling analytical framework by which they may be judged, it also provides detailed personal biographies from some of the countrys foremost political critics and exclusive interviews with former leaders themselves.An indispensable contribution to the study of party leadership, British Conservative Leaders is the essential guide to understanding British political history and governance.

Rastrear la historia del siglo xxi hasta ahora es rastrear una historia de lo inasequible y la escasez. Despues de anos de negarse a construir suficientes viviendas, Estados Unidos tiene una crisis nacional de vivienda. Tras anos de limitar la inmigracion, no tiene suficientes trabajadores. A pesar de ser advertidos durante decadas sobre las consecuencias del cambio climatico, no se ha construido nada cercano a la infraestructura de energia limpia que necesitamos. Los ambiciosos proyectos publicos se terminan tarde y por encima del presupuesto, si alguna vez se terminan. Abundancia explica que nuestros problemas de hoy no son los resultados de los villanos de ayer, sino que las soluciones de una generacion se han convertido en los problemas de la siguiente. Las reglas y regulaciones disenadas para resolver los problemas de la decada de 1970 a menudo evitan proyectos de densidad urbana y energia verde que ayudarian a resolver los problemas de la decada de 2020. Las leyes destinadas a garantizar que el Gobierno considere las consecuencias de sus acciones han hecho demasiado dificil para el gobierno actuar en consecuencia. En las ultimas decadas, nuestra capacidad de ver problemas se ha agudizado, mientras que nuestra capacidad de resolverlos ha disminuido. Klein y Thompson rastrean las barreras politicas, economicas y culturales para progresar y proponen un camino hacia una politica de abundancia.

La incertidumbre marca profundamente el día a día de los exintegrantes de las FARC-EP que firmaron el acuerdo de paz en Colombia en el 2016. Sus planes de vida se ven perturbados por la ausencia de condiciones dignas y estabilidad economica, social y politica, lo que convierte su bienestar y el de sus familias en una utopia. La falta de garantias y la persistente inseguridad en los territorios generan un futuro incierto. Vidas en transicion relata, por medio de una investigacion cualitativa con enfoque etnografico, las experiencias de reincorporacion colectiva de excombatientes y analiza los procesos de reintegracion como una dinamica que genera tensiones entre el pasado y el presente de los firmantes y su relacion con otros grupos de la sociedad. Este libro hace alusion a la importancia de la colectividad como una nueva perspectiva de resistencia frente a patrones que se mantienen en el tiempo e influyen en la construccion de una paz estable y duradera.

Once, political whips swore by a code of omertaThe theory was that you never discussed what went on in the whips office until your dying day, as though you worked at Bletchley Park. But not any more.Though decades of silence have fostered intrigue, mythology and suspicion about their activities, the whips office has long played a crucial role in Westminster, greasing the parliamentary machine and keeping rebellious MPs in check. But while whips appear all-knowing and ever-present, are they still all-powerful?The Usual Channels pulls back the curtain on one of Westminsters most notorious elements and explores whether whips still have the upper hand.Charting eccentric traditions and colourful characters, this authoritative guide is not only an insight into the workings of a crucial institution; it is also a masterclass in the past fifty years of British political history.

A parliamentary by-election happens when a seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections, whether because the sitting MP dies, resigns, goes bankrupt, is convicted of a crime or is subject to a recall petition. By-elections can often appear to break the mould of British politics, signify the seemingly terminal decline of a particular political party or indicate the end of a premiership. Some take on iconic status or attract celebrity candidates and are remembered several decades after they take place. Others quickly disappear into the depths of our memories. As these pages will testify, however, theres rarely a dull contest.In this latest anthology, Iain Dale picks the most consequential by-elections of the modern era and presents a series of thoroughly researched and absorbing essays by some of our finest political writers, including Sir Vernon Bogdanor, Sir John Curtice, Simon Heffer, Julia Langdon, Lord Lexden, Andrew Marr, Tim Shipman and many others.This remarkable book uncovers unique stories of political tragedy, triumph, success and failure, set against the backdrop of some of the most dramatic moments in British parliamentary history.

Shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards Biography of the Year Stephen Travers has lived two lives. His first was as a young bass player, immersed in music, friendship, and the thrill of gigs on the road with The Miami Showband. But on July 31, 1975, that life shattered on the A1 road at Buskhill in County Down when a Loyalist gang ambushed the band, murdering three of his friends in an attack that would become one of the darkest moments of The Troubles. In the quiet aftermath, in a nearby field, Stephen awoke to his second lifeas a survivor. This second life led him down unexpected paths: as an author, composer, producer, and international speaker on peace and reconciliation. Over decades, he worked to support other survivors, challenge suspected state collusion, and seek justice in a landmark case against the British Ministry of Defence. Yet, despite these achievements, Stephen found himself drawn back to that field, revisiting the young man he had been moments before the massacresearching for closure, a reunion with his former self. Now, fifty years later, he has written The Bass Player, a love letter and eulogy for that first life. This book is both a deeply personal reckoning and a song for all those silenced by conflict, offering a path toward healing and, finally, peace.

Cómo identificar y rebatir las falacias de la izquierda radicalLos progresistas se presentan como los defensores de la razón, la ciencia y la justicia social. Pero ¿qué ocurre cuando sus argumentos no resisten el mas minimo escrutinio?En Mitos progres, el filosofo Michael Huemer desmonta, con datos y rigor, algunas de las ideas mas influyentes y repetidas del progresismo actual: que la brecha salarial entre hombres y mujeres se debe al machismo; que los tiroteos policiales son sistematicamente racistas; que el genero es un mero constructo social, o que el cambio climatico nos llevara a la extincion.Con un estilo claro y valiente, Huemer demuestra que muchas de estas afirmaciones no son inocentes ni irrelevantes: son mitos ideologicos que distorsionan el debate publico, polarizan a la sociedad y justifican politicas ineficaces o directamente dañinas. Y lo que es aun peor: se utilizan como armas morales para silenciar la disidencia y blindar una vision dogmatica del mundo.Este libro no pretende imponer una nueva ideologia, sino recuperar algo mas necesario que nunca: el respeto por los hechos, el pensamiento critico y la libertad de disentir.Si crees que la verdad importa aunque incomode, Mitos progres es para ti.
