'''BTP Advisers''' are a public relations firm based in London and have offices in Kenya, Ghana, Washington, Paris and the DR Congo.

==What they do==
BTP specialise in providing media relations and campaigning for clients and have acted in the UK, Continental Europe and Africa.

*'Corporate and Financial' - they claim to be able to help you build the 'right relationships with the key opinion formers within the financial community'.
*'Media Relations' - using their knowledge of the media they claim to enable your voice to be heard.
*'Election Services' - have a huge amount of experience having fought campaigns across the world for over two decades.

They also offer media training, public affairs services, the running of political campaigns, political risk analysis, consumer PR and social media campaigning.<ref> BTP Advisers, [http://www.btpadvisers.com/what-we-do/ What we do], accessed 5 February 2015 </ref>

==Work==
===Rwanda===
[[Mark Pursey]], head of BTP, worked as an international media adviser to the Rwandan government after the First Congo War. Pursey was secretly recorded, claiming that during this war a whole series of accusations were made against Rwandan troops, rather than deal with the accusations they focused on the reasonableness of the accusers. They targeted people who were over criticising and questioned why they were, did they have something to hide? This was all done via an internet 'attack site', and led to a 2009 report from the [[Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative]] saying Rwanda's 'excellent public relations machinery' had succeeded in hiding 'the exclusionary and repressive nature of the regime'.<ref name="RWA"> Melanie Newman, Oliver Wright [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rwanda-how-dare-you-accuse-our-client-of-genocide-video-6273284.html Rwanda: How dare you accuse our client of genocide (video)] ''Independent'', 07 December 2011, accessed 5 February 2015 </ref>

In the same tape, London councilman [[Edward Lord]], was fooled by journalists posing as representatives of Uzbekistan and said he has a non-executive role with BTP. He said he would be willing to work on behalf of BTP to improve the countries reputation and one way he suggested was to edit the Wikipedia page to make it sound less negative. When asked about the tape, both Pursey and Lord backtracked and said Lord does not in fact work for the company but was there to support the pitch instead.<ref> Melanie Newman [http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2011/12/06/pr-firm-attacked-critics-of-rwandan-government/ Lobbying's Hidden Influence: PR firm ‘attacked’ critics of Rwandan government] ''Bureau of Investigative Journalism'', 6 December 2011, accessed 5 February 2015 </ref>

===Azerbaijan===
During the sting, where Pursey revealed the work he had undertaken for the Rwandan government, he also said they were working for the government of Azerbaijan, who he claimed had 'its own set of very complex issues'. Pursey claimed that as well as working for the governments of Azerbaijan and Rwanda they also work for the new Ivory Coast government as well as the Movement for Democratic Change in Zimbabwe.<ref name="RWA"/>

===Kenya===
BTP advised Kenyan President [[Uhuru Kenyatta]] in his victory over [[Raila Odinga]], advised by [[Bell Pottinger Communications]], in 2013. Kenyatta faces charges from the [[International Criminal Court]] of crimes against humanity for his role in the violence during the 2007 Kenyan elections, when more than 1,200 people were killed and 300,000 were chased from their homes.

Threats of violence haunted those elections, the first since clashes broke out after the 2007 post-election crisis. BTP's Mark Pursey worked on Kenyatta's nationalist stance, claiming that the charges were a Western campaign against him and deputy president, [[William Ruto]].<ref name="AR"> [http://www.theafricareport.com/North-Africa/lobbying-in-africa-nightmare-on-k-street.html Lobbying in Africa: Nightmare on K street] ''Africa Report'', 28 November 2014, accessed 5 February 2015 </ref>

===Nigeria===
BTP worked with the UK [[Labour Party]] and former [[Barack Obama|Obama]] election 'guru', [[David Axelrod]] in the 2015 Nigerian presidential election. They represented the opposition party [[All Progressive Congress]]'s candidate [[Muhammadu Buhari]] in his victory over [[Goodluck Jonathan]], represented by veteran strategist [[Joe Trippi]] and [[Bell Pottinger Communications]].<ref name="AR"/><ref> BBC [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-32139858 Nigeria election: Muhammadu Buhari wins presidency], 1 April 2015, accessed 20 April 2015.</ref>

In February 2017, Seddon became the executive vice president of the US firm [[Optum]], which has been involved in several NHS privatisation initiatives. <ref> Katie Forster, [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/former-tory-government-health-adviser-nick-seddon-us-firm-optum-nhs-privatisation-david-cameron-a7561696.html Former Tory government health adviser joins US firm involved in NHS privatisation], ''The Independent'', 3 February 2017, accessed 6 February 2017. </ref> He has an established career working as a lobbyist for private health firms.

==Lobbying for private healthcare==
Before joining the Number 10 policy unit, Seddon was deputy director of [[Reform]] - a right-leaning free market think tank which receives funding from healthcare and insurance companies.

Before this, Seddon was head of communications for [[Circle]], the first private healthcare company to run an NHS hospital, [[Hinchingbrooke]].

Before joining No 10 under Labour, he also led the ‘cross-government delivery unit for the Health, Work and Wellbeing Strategy’, supporting Dame [[Carol Black]]’s review of the health of Britain’s workforce. <ref> [http://www.dodsmonitoring.com/downloads/number10.pdf Guide to No.10] ''The House Parliament's Magazine'', 03.2014, accessed 8 October 2014 </ref>

Seddon had spoken publicly in favour of charging for NHS services, such as seeing a GP.

===NHS privatisation===
Seddon's appointment to the private health firm Optum comes just months after him leaving government, and amid concerns the health service could form part of a post-Brexit trade deal between America and Britain, with US insurers and private health companies given the opportunity to provide NHS services.

Optum already provides 156 NHS organisations services such as contract negotiations and medication management. It is part of multinational insurance firm [[UnitedHealth]] Group, which made more than $8.4bn in 2015. <ref> [https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/feb/08/us-firms-look-to-capitalise-as-nhs-becomes-increasingly-privatised US firms look to capitalise as NHS becomes increasingly privatised], ''The Guardian'', 8 February 2016, accessed 6 February 2017. </ref> [[Simon Stevens]], the head of NHS England with whom Seddon has a close relationship, is a former UnitedHealth executive.

On the appointment, Alan Taman of the campaigning group [[Keep Our NHS Public]] said:

:'[There is a] wafer-thin partition between the previous and this government’s closest advisers on health and the private healthcare industry, with its overriding desire to cherry-pick the NHS'.

Reform

2018-09-10T17:27:30Z

Tamasin Cave: /* Contact information */

'''Reform''' is a free market think-tank which describes itself as ‘an independent, non-party think-tank whose mission is to set out a better way to deliver public services and economic prosperity’.

[[Image:Reform.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Reform, Hope House, [[Great Peter Street]], London SW1. Photo taken by Spinwatch, Dec 2010]]

They ‘believe that by liberalising the public sector, breaking monopoly and extending choice, high quality services can be made available for everyone.’

Their vision is 'of a Britain with 21st Century healthcare, high standards in schools, a modern and efficient transport system, safe streets, and a free, dynamic and competitive economy'. <ref> [http://www.reform.co.uk/website/home.aspx Reform Home Page]</ref>

===Health reform===
Reform has long advocated free-market reforms to the NHS. It believes that the government should 'grasp the nettle on how health services are financed,' and that 'the Coalition has missed the real opportunity for NHS reform'. <ref> Tamasin Cave, [http://www.spinwatch.org/index.php/issues/lobbying/item/5633-who-is-calling Who is behind Reform's call for NHS charges?], ''Spinwatch'', 31 March 2013 </ref>

It has argued that 'Co-payments and user charges', should be part of the NHS and the government should do more 'to encourage the greater role of insurance'.<ref>Reform, [http://www.reform.co.uk/Research/Health/HealthArticles/tabid/80/smid/378/ArticleID/1258/reftab/69/t/Delivering%20a%20new%20health%20agenda/Default.aspx Delivering a new health agenda], July 2010</ref>

In March 2014 Reform published a report '''Solving the NHS care and cash crisis'''. Its recommendations included that:

:People in England should be forced to pay a £10-a-month NHS "membership charge" (to save the service from ruin)
:People staying overnight in hospital should pay ‘hotel charges’.

Reform is funded by companies which would benefit greatly from the introduction of changes to the way we pay for healthcare. These have included General Healthcare Group, the UK’s largest private hospital firm, but more significantly a large number of corporations in the private health insurance industry.

Doctors for Reform

2018-08-15T10:57:33Z

Tamasin Cave:

'''Doctors for Reform''' describes itself as "an independent, non-party group which believes that the time has come to look at new ways to supply and fund healthcare." Its stated aim is to "participate in a proper and informed national debate on the choices ahead us." It is supported by the free market think tank [[Reform]]. It claims to have a membership of 1000 medical practitioners.

In its mission statement it stated that 'the time has come to look at new ways to supply and fund healthcare'.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101108142824/http://www.reform.co.uk:80/DoctorsforReform/DfRHome/tabid/121/Default.aspx Mission Statement from Doctors for Reform], archive of Reform website, accessed Aug 2018]</ref>

A press release in 2010 called for the following changes to the NHS:
*Universal coverage with an insurance element. Our current system provides universal coverage but would benefit from having an insurance element so that no-one would receive sub-standard care.
*Topping up the basic level of care. The NHS should allow patients to spend their own money on treatment provided by either the independent sector or the NHS, where it might make a charge for treatments not normally available.
*Supply competition. Patients should be allowed to exercise real, informed choice about where, how and by whom they are treated.

==Funding==
Doctors for Reform says it "is funded by private donations."<ref>Doctors for Reform, [http://www.reform.co.uk/DoctorsforReform/JoinUs/tabid/128/Default.aspx Join Us], accessed Dec 2010</ref>

==Activities==
Doctors for Reform held a pre-election health policy conference, called The Future of Health, in June 2009: "A series of keynote speeches and discussion sessions – including health spokesmen from all three major parties examined how the UK could deliver 21st century standards of care in an era of rising demand and financial crisis."
Speakers included: [[Ben Bradshaw]], then Minister of State for Health Services; [[Norman Lamb]], then Liberal Democrat Shadow Secretary of State for Health and the now Secretary of State for Health [[Andrew Lansley]].<ref>Doctors for Reform, [http://www.reform.co.uk/Events/FutureEvents/EventDetails/tabid/101/smid/460/ArticleID/685/reftab/95/t/The-future-of-health/Default.aspx Events: The Future of Health], accessed Dec 2010</ref> Also speaking were: [[Simon Stevens]], President of Global Health, [[UnitedHealth]] Group; [[Adrian Fawcett]] CEO of [[General Healthcare Group]] and [[Alan Downey]], UK Head of Healthcare, at [[KPMG]].

==People==
Doctors for Reform Steering Committee members include:
*Dr [[Paul Charlson]] is a GP and founder of a private centre which specialises in cosmetic anti aging treatments.<ref>Qure ('cosmetic anti ageing treatments with a qualified doctor'), [http://www.qure.co.uk/about-us-skin-care-professional.php About Us], accessed October 2010</ref> Dr Charlson is also involved with a number of other lobby groups: He is Chair of the [[Conservative Medical Society]] and a director of lobby group [[2020health]].

*Professor [[Karol Sikora]], Medical Director of [[CancerPartnersUK]], which runs private cancer treatment centres in the UK. A CancerPartnersUK report 'Radiotherapy – A radical plan for Britain', published in September 2010 and co-authored by Sikora, called on the government to show its support for private cancer treatment. Sikora said: "“Opening up the NHS to new providers of services has never been more important and transforming the provision of cancer care requires imaginative solutions."<ref> CancerPartnersUK, [http://cancerpartnersuk.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html CancerPartnersUK is lobbying MPs and health officials about the poor state of radiotherapy services in the UK], Sept 2010</ref>

Christopher Heaton-Harris

2018-07-09T15:11:24Z

Tamasin Cave:

{{Template:Brexit badge}}[[Image:Christopher_Heaton-Harris.jpg|thumb|right|Christopher Heaton-Harris]]
[[Christopher Heaton-Harris]] (born 28 November 1967, Epsom, Surrey) was appointed Brexit minister in July 2018.

He has been the British [[Conservative Party]] MP for Daventry since 2010.<ref>[http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/chris-heaton-harris/3977 Chris Heaton-Harris], UK Parliament, accessed 10 September 2013.</ref>

He is a former British MEP from [[Conservative and Unionist Party]] (1999-2009).<ref>European Parliament, [http://www.europarl.europa.eu/members/archive/alphaOrder/view.do?language=EN&id=4517 MEP Directory: Christopher Heaton-Harris], accessed 17 November 2010.</ref>

From January to July 2018 he was Comptroller of Her Majesty’s Household within the Whip’s office.

==Lobbying links==
===UK lobbyist===
Heaton-Harris briefly worked as a commercial lobbyist. He was hired by lobbying agency [[Fleishman-Hillard]] while he was standing for Parliament in 2009.

It was reported that [[Fleishman-Hillard]] paid for a three-day junket to Washington so Heaton-Harris could speak at a conference on Capitol Hill in March 2010. <ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/tory-candidate-enjoys-lobby-firms-210891 Tory candidate enjoys lobby firm's US junket], Mirror, 27 MAR 2010</ref>

===American lobby links===
Heaton-Harris was listed as an International Delegate of the powerful US corporate lobby group, [[American Legislative Exchange Council]], although it is unclear when this was.<ref>[https://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/ALEC_International_Delegates_Exposed ALEC Exposed], Centre for Media and Democracy, accessed Nov 2017</ref> Other 'international delegates from the UK include other Eurosceptics: [[Liam Fox]] MP, [[Daniel Hannan]] MEP, [[Roger Helmer]] MEP, [[Syed Kamall]] MEP, [[Richard Ashworth]] MEP, [[Martin Callanan]] MEP and [[Nirj Deva]] MEP.

==UK Parliamentary career==
===Eurosceptic===
Heaton-Harris describes himself as a “fierce Eurosceptic”.

He was co-chairman of the [[Fresh Start Project]] group of Eurosceptic Tory MPs, and chaired the hard-Brexit backing [[European Research Group]] of Conservative MPs.

====Letter to universities====
In early October 2017, Heaton-Harris wrote to vice-chancellors at every UK University asking for the names of any professors involved in teaching European affairs “with particular reference to Brexit”. His letter asks for a copy of each university’s syllabus and any online lectures on Brexit. This led to claims of political interference in academic freedom, as well as censorship. Heaton-Harris, at the time government whip, was rebuked by the leadership of the [[Conservative Party]], although his colleague, universities minister [[Jo Johnson]], suggested that Heaton-Harris might have been innocently researching a possible book on 'the evolution of attitudes' to Europe, rather than acting in his role as a government minister, and "probably didn't appreciate the degree to which (the letter) would be misinterpreted".<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41747035 MP's Brexit letter to universities 'was research for book'], BBC, 25 October 2017</ref>

===Anti-windfarm campaigner===
In 2012 Heaton Harris coordinated a letter to then Prime Minister, [[David Cameron]] signed by 105 MPs that asked for a drastic cut to onshore wind farm subsidies.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/greenpolitics/9677551/Chris-Heaton-Harris-windfarm-opponent-and-Eurosceptic.html Chris Heaton Harris: windfarm opponent and Eurosceptic], Telegraph, 14 Nov 2012</ref>

*Voted against the directive on "establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy" (A5-0027/2000). The directive covers all water management aspects in order to achieve a 'good status' of all waters by 2015.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#water Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted in favour of the directive on "national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants" (A5-0063/2000). The amendment allows setting less ambitious national emission ceilings for sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), which would result in more damage to human health and the environment.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#air Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted in favour of the Commission White Paper on "Strategy for a future Chemicals Policy" (A5-0356/2001). The amandment helps avoid the necessary precautionary approach towards some chemical substances that are not proven to be completely safe.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#cemicals Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on "waste electrical and electronic equipment" (A5-0100/2002). The amendment sets higher reuse and recycling rates for IT and telecommunication equipment.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#recycling Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
*Voted in favour of the report on "Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network" (A5-0135/2002). The Trans-European Network of Transport (TEN-T) is a network of so-called 'transport corridors' through Europe. This amendment calls for a full Strategic Environmental Assessment of these transport corridors and calls on the Commission to improve methods for analysing the environmental and economic impact of the TEN-T.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#transport Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the regulation concerning "traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms" (A5-0229/2002). The amendment allows customers the right to choose GM free food.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#gmos Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on "environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage" (A5-0145/2003). According to the amendment, polluters have to pay for environmental clean-up, and it supports an EU-wide regime which makes polluters liable for the damage they cause to wildlife, water and land.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#liability Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on restructuring the "Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity" (A5-0302/2003). The amendment aims at giving tax benefits to environmentally friendly sources of energy, which would make them cheaper and more competitive to conventional (more polluting) sources of energy. It also gives tax benefits to environmentally friendly uses of energy for transport, for instance trains.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#tax Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
*Voted against the amendment on Bulgaria’s progress towards accession (A5-0105/2004). The report objects to extending the life of the nuclear power stations in Bulgaria.<ref>[http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#nuclear Friends of the Earth], EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>

==History==
After graduating in 1987, Johnson became a trainee reporter with the Times newspaper but was sacked within a year for falsifying a quotation from his godfather [[Colin Lucas]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6901161.stm Boris Johnson's media scrapes] BBC News, 17 July 2007.</ref>

Johnson's official biography on the London Mayor website states:

::After a short time as a writer for the Wolverhampton Express and Star, he joined The [[Daily Telegraph]] in 1987 as leader and feature writer. From 1989 to 1994 he was the Telegraph's European Community correspondent and from 1994 to 1999 he served as assistant editor. His association with [[The Spectator]] began as political columnist in 1994. In 1999 he became editor of the paper and stayed in this role until December 2005.<ref>[http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/index.jsp Mayor of London - biography], Greater London Authority, accessed 24 August 2008.</ref>

::In 2001 he was elected MP for Henley on Thames, replacing Michael Heseltine. He has held shadow government posts as Vice Chairman, Shadow Minister for the Arts and Shadow Minister of Higher Education. In July 2007, Boris Johnson resigned from his position as shadow education secretary so that he would be free to stand as Conservative candidate for Mayor London. He resigned as MP for Henley shortly after becoming Mayor of London.<ref>[http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/index.jsp Mayor of London - biography], Greater London Authority, accessed 24 August 2008.</ref>

Then Conservative leader [[Michael Howard]] sacked Johnson as shadow arts minister in 2004 for lying about an affair with [[Spectator]] journalist [[Petronella Wyatt]].<ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article391143.ece Boris Johnson sacked for lying over affair], by Andrew Porter and Nicholas Hellen, The Sunday Times, 14 November 2004.</ref>

==Current activities==
Johnson was elected Mayor of London in May 2008.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7380947.stm Johnson Wins London Mayoral Race] BBC News, 3 May 2008.</ref>
===Staff appointments===
Johnson appointed [[Richard Barnes]] as his Deputy Mayor on 6 May 2008, as well as appointing the following to newly devolved offices; [[Ian Clement]] as Deputy Mayor for Government Relations, [[Kit Malthouse]] as Deputy Mayor for Policing and [[Ray Lewis]] as Deputy Mayor for Young People.<ref>[http://www.london.gov.uk/view_press_release.jsp?releaseid=16774 Boris Johnson announces further senior appointments to his administration] Greater London Authority, 5 June 2008</ref>

Johnson appointed [[Nicholas Boles]], the founder of [[Policy Exchange]], as his Chief of Staff. Other [[Policy Exchange]] appointees included his cultural advisor [[Munira Mirza]] and [[Dan Ritterband]].<ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article3908506.ece Boris Tory HQ team puts reins on Boris Johnson]by Robert Watts and Jonathan Oliver, The Sunday Times, 11 May 2008.</ref>

Political opponents questioned Johnson's judgement when Ray Lewis resigned on 4 July 2008, shortly after taking up his post, following allegations of financial misconduct during his prior career as a Church of England priest and inappropriate behaviour in respect of a false claim to have been appointed as a magistrate.<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/jul/05/boris.london London mayor: Johnson forced to remove his deputy mayor after magistrate claim proves false] by Matthew Taylor and Dave Hill, The Guardian, 5 July 2008.</ref> Johnson himself said that he was "misled" by Lewis.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7491084.stm Mayor Johnson 'misled' by deputy] BBC News, 5 July 2008.</ref>

==EU referendum debate==
In the run up to the UK's referendum on membership of the European Union, Johnson came out sensationally in a Telegraph article on 16 March 2016 in favour of a Brexit vote on 23 June 2016. Johnson's argument is centred around the fact that the European project has morphed out of all recognition since its inception, and that it's interests and the interests of Britain, which is coming into it's stride economically and politically, are no longer aligned. He feels the British offering to the world can be much improved from unshackling from our European partners, given the onslaught that Brussels is making on the closely-held British values:

:'We have given so much to the world, in ideas and culture, but the most valuable British export and the one for which we are most famous is the one that is now increasingly in question: parliamentary democracy – the way the people express their power.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to vote for real change in Britain’s relations with Europe. This is the only opportunity we will ever have to show that we care about self-rule. A vote to Remain will be taken in Brussels as a green light for more federalism, and for the erosion of democracy.' <ref>Boris Johnson, [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2016/03/16/boris-johnson-exclusive-there-is-only-one-way-to-get-the-change/ 'Boris Johnson exclusive: There is only one way to get the change we want – vote to leave the EU', 16 March 2016], ''The Telegraph'', accessed 23 June 2016</ref>

====Lobbying for The City====
Correspondence obtained by SpinWatch reveals that in December 2009 TheCityUK's chairman [[Stuart Popham]] hosted a lunch attended by Johnson, the then shadow chancellor, [[George Osborne]], and [[Goldman Sachs International]]'s co-CEO [[Michael Sherwood]].
:“The purpose of the lunch”, according to a letter from Johnson dated 21 December 2009, “is to discuss threats to London's competitiveness as a global financial centre”, as well as “to hear your concerns and suggestions, and to reassure you that we remain committed to doing all we can to ensure London retains its position.”<ref name="SpinWatch">SpinWatch, [http://www.scribd.com/doc/51461467/Doing-God%E2%80%99s-Work-How-Goldman-Sachs-Rigs-the-Game Doing God’s Work: How Goldman Sachs Rigs the Game] - SpinWatch investigation detailing Goldman Sachs’ secret lobbying activities in the UK and Brussels and links to politicians.

Days before the lunch, Johnson had written to Goldman's Chair and CEO, [[Lloyd Blankfein]], to restate his support for the City: “I will strongly defend London's financial services industry against the threats of punitive taxation and new burdensome EU regulations”, he wrote.<ref name="SpinWatch"/>

Steve Baker

2018-07-09T15:09:06Z

Tamasin Cave:

{{Template:Brexit badge}}[[Steve Baker]] MP was appointed Brexit Minister, or parliamentary under secretary of state at the UK [[Department for Exiting the European Union]] in June 2017 and resigned in July 2018.

He is a vocal supporter of Brexit.

Baker has been the [[Conservative Party]] MP for Wycombe since 2010.<ref>[http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/steve-baker/4064 Steve Baker], www.parliament.uk, accessed 8 September 2013.</ref>

==Brexit supporter==
Baker is a passionate Brexit supporter.

He believes that the EU is 'unreformable', which is why he supports Brexit, and that every country in the EU is on the economic path taken by Greece. He told Politico:<ref>[https://www.politico.eu/article/tory-euroskeptic-brexit-rebellion-cameron-eu/ The Tory rebel with an anti-European cause], Politico.EU, 23 June 2015</ref>
:'“Every major Western economy is on a catastrophic trajectory. The age-old spending pledges simply cannot be funded by tax. They need borrowing or currency debasement... This is the real crisis.
:'We are living in a crisis of political economy.'

In June 2015, Baker became co-chairman of [[Conservatives for Britain]], a campaigning organisation formed of eurosceptic MPs, alongside Conservative MEP [[David Campbell Bannerman]].

==Free-market think tank links==
Baker co-founded the neoliberal think tank the [[Cobden Centre]] with [[Toby Baxendale]], a trustee of the [[Legatum Institute]] of which Baker is an 'enthusiastic supporter', according to the ''Times''. Baxendale described their mission at the Cobden Centre as 'preventing the government from printing money. He told the ''Times'': “My greatest objective in the Cobden Centre will be to go for the jugular of the state, to cut the oxygen and the blood supply off and force it to be honest.”<ref>[https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/unrivalled-access-of-secretive-billionaire-christopher-chandler-funds-legatum-institute-885pb9vjc Christopher Chandler: billionaire behind Legatum think tank has unrivalled access to Brexit MPs], Times, 14 Oct 2017</ref>

Baker was described in 2016 by the [[Adam Smith Institute]] as one of its 'favourite Conservative MPs'. He also gave the [[Institute of Economic Affairs]]' annual Hayek lecture in 2016.

==Parliamentary Group membership==
Prior to becoming a minister, Baker was a member of the following All Party Parliamentary Groups:
*[[All Party Parliamentary Group on Unconventional Oil and Gas]], set up 2013
*[[Smart Cities All-Party Parliamentary Group]]
*[[All-Party Parliamentary Group on Freedom of Religion or Belief]] <ref>[https://freedomdeclared.org/about/appg/ 'Freedom Declared: Who we are'], Freedom Declared website, undated, accessed 6 November 2015 </ref>

July 2012: ''Unleashing the British Underdog: 10 bets on the little guy.'' This included an array of policy proposals, including: 
*Opening up the scheme that sponsors children from all backgrounds to go to private schools;
*Fast-tracking 'Troops to Teachers', a scheme that encouraged more schools staffed by veterans to be set up in areas of deprivation (which, when later implemented, attracted very few applicants);

November 2011: ''Escaping the straight jacket: 10 regulatory reforms to create jobs''. This proposes 'seven changes to domestic legislation and regulations, and three changes to EU agreements, which could stimulate job creation'. These included:
*Introducing no fault dismissal for underperforming employees;
*Requiring a majority of support from balloted members for any strike in the emergency and transport sectors;
*Abolishing the Working Time Regulations, which transpose the EU Working Time Directive into UK law;
*Abolishing the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 (which gives agency workers the right to the same basic employment and working conditions as full-time staff and gives effect in UK law to the EU's Temporary and Agency Workers Directive); and

==Free market think tank links==
Raab has published a number of reports with the right wing think tank, the [[Centre for Policy Studies]], including:
February 2013: 'Capitalism for the Little Guy: 10 ways to extend competition and strengthen consumer clout.' among the policy proposals in this paper were:
*Phase out state-backed subsidies for renewable energy technologies;
*Government should lift the bar on profit-making companies running academies and free schools;
*Level the playing field between public and private sector service providers.<ref>[https://www.cps.org.uk/publications/capitalism-for-the-little-guy/ Capitalism for the Little Guy], CPS website, Feb 2013</ref>

July 2012: 'Unleashing the British Underdog: 10 bets on the little guy.' This included an array of policy proposals, including: *Opening up the scheme that sponsors children from all backgrounds to go to private schools;
*Fast-tracking 'Troops to Teachers', a scheme that encouraged more schools staffed by veterans to be set up in areas of deprivation (which, when later implemented, attracted very few applicants);
*Teaching refugees English on arrival; and
*Tax breaks for start-ups and micro-businesses, such as exemptions on employers’ NI contributions and cuts in business rates<ref>[http://www.cps.org.uk/publications/unleashing-the-british-underdog/ Unleashing the British Underdog], CPS, July 2012</ref>

November 2011: 'Escaping the straight jacket: 10 regulatory reforms to create jobs'. This proposes 'seven changes to domestic legislation and regulations, and three changes to EU agreements, which could stimulate job creation'. These included:
*Introducing no fault dismissal for underperforming employees;
*Requiring a majority of support from balloted members for any strike in the emergency and transport sectors;
*Abolishing the Working Time Regulations, which transpose the EU Working Time Directive into UK law;
*Abolishing the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 (which gives agency workers the right to the same basic employment and working conditions as full-time staff and gives effect in UK law to the EU's Temporary and Agency Workers Directive); and

===Background of Conflicts===
Nowhere is Callanan’s influence more apparent than in amendments he tabled for the recent influential report by [[Chris Davies]] for the Environment Committee on a ‘Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles.’ Callanan tried to water down both the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) allowed from vehicles as well as the deadline for compliance by the car manufacturers.

In 1995 the European Commission originally proposed a CO2 emissions reduction target of 120g CO2/km (grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre) by 2005, which the car industry failed to meet.<ref>T&E, [http://www.transportenvironment.org/Publications/prep_hand_out/lid:481 ''Reducing CO2 emissions from new cars: A Study of Major Car Manufacturers' Progress in 2006''], November 2007, accessed 15 November 2008.</ref><ref>Greenpeace International, [http://www.greenpeace.org/international/press/reports/DrivingClimateChange ''Driving Climate Change - How the Car Industry is attempting the thwart CO2 emission legislation''], May 2008, accessed 15 November 2008.</ref> [[Chris Davies]]’ important draft report in June 2007 then argued for a target of 120g CO2/km by 2015 (for all new cars in the EU).<ref>Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, Draft Report on the Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles, Rapporteur: Chris Davies, 08 June 2007, cited in Rowell, Andy, [http://spinwatch.org/images/too%20close%20for%20comfort.pdf Too Close for Comfort?] Spinwatch, July 2008.</ref> Callanan’s amendment to the report however argued for a much weaker target of 130 g/km CO2/km by 2015.<ref>European Parliament, Report on Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles (2007/2119(INI)), Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, Rapporteur: Chris Davies, 24 October 2007, Martin Callanan, Amendment 53, 17 July 2008, cited in Rowell, Andy, [http://spinwatch.org/images/too%20close%20for%20comfort.pdf Too Close for Comfort?] Spinwatch, July 2008.</ref> [[Chris Davies|Davies]] and Callanan finally tabled a joint amendment proposing a still weak target of 125g CO2/km by 2015,<ref>European Parliament, Report on Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles (2007/2119(INI)), Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, Rapporteur: Chris Davies, Motion for a resolution, Amendment 42 by Martin Callanan, on behalf of the PPE-DE Group, and Chris Davies, on behalf of the ALDE Group Report, A6-0343/2007, cited in Rowell, Andy, [http://spinwatch.org/images/too%20close%20for%20comfort.pdf Too Close for Comfort?] Spinwatch, July 2008.</ref> which was the one adopted by the European Parliament.<ref>European Parliament, [http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+TA+P6-TA-2007-0469+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN&language=EN Texts adopted by Parliament, Community Strategy to reduce CO 2 emissions from passenger cars and lightcommercial vehicles], 24 October 2007, accessed 15 November 2008.</ref> This was far less ambitious than the target proposed by the Environment Committee.

====Register of Interests====
*Known to have favoured the car industry in his parliamentary actions, financially benefited from a discounted car from Ford in 2006.

====Conflicts of Interest====
Callanan defends his position arguing that his Amendment “actually imposed a more stringent CO2 limit on manufacturers (125g instead of 130), but gave them a slightly longer time period in which to comply (2015 instead of 2012). However, this is contradicted by figures calculated by Green MEPs. [[Claude Turmes]] MEP said: “I think this is the right moment to inform the outside world about what this Callanan-Davies deal is…It is delaying action from 2012 to 2015.”<ref>European Parliament, [http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+CRE+20071022+ITEM-016+DOC+XML+V0//EN&language=EN&query=INTERV&detail=1-149 Claude Turmes, Debate on Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles], 22 October 2007, accessed 15 November 2008.</ref> Jos Dings from environmental NGO, [[Transport and Environment]], says: “If Callanan is arguing that he has strengthened the CO2 law he is wrong, he has weakened it. The reduction path that the car industry has to follow is less under his proposal than under the Commission proposal.”<ref>Dings, Jos, ''E-mail to Andy Rowell'', April 2008, cited in Rowell, Andy, [http://spinwatch.org/images/too%20close%20for%20comfort.pdf Too Close for Comfort?] Spinwatch, July 2008.</ref>

Since then Callanan has continued to put forward positions favorable to the car industry. A potential conflict of interest – one of many grey areas under current parliamentary rules – is that he financially benefited from a discounted car from Ford in 2006.<ref>European Parliament, [http://www.europarl.europa.eu/ep-dif/4536_18-01-2007.PDF Declaration of Members’ Interest: Martin Callanan], 18 January 2007, accessed 15 November 2008.</ref> Justifying the payment, the MEP says: “I declared the receipt two years ago in the register of Members interests, whose purpose is to put all such matters in the public domain, to avoid any accusation of a conflict of interest.”<ref>Callanan, Martin, ''E-mail to Andy Rowell'', May 2008, cited in Rowell, Andy, [http://spinwatch.org/images/too%20close%20for%20comfort.pdf Too Close for Comfort?] Spinwatch, July 2008.</ref>

===Record of Parliamentary Votes===
*Voted against the directive on "establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy" (A5-0027/2000). The directive covers all water management aspects in order to achieve a 'good status' of all waters by 2015.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#water EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted in favour of the directive on "national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants" (A5-0063/2000). The amendment allows setting less ambitious national emission ceilings for sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), which would result in more damage to human health and the environment.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#air EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted in favour of the Commission White Paper on "Strategy for a future Chemicals Policy" (A5-0356/2001). The amendment helps avoid the necessary precautionary approach towards some chemical substances that are not proven to be completely safe.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#chemicals EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on "waste electrical and electronic equipment" (A5-0100/2002). The amendment sets higher reuse and recycling rates for IT and telecommunication equipment.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#recycling EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
*Voted in favour of the report on "Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network" (A5-0135/2002). The Trans-European Network of Transport (TEN-T) is a network of so-called 'transport corridors' through Europe. This amendment calls for a full Strategic Environmental Assessment of these transport corridors and calls on the Commission to improve methods for analysing the environmental and economic impact of the TEN-T.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#transport EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the regulation concerning "traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms" (A5-0229/2002). The amendment allows customers the right to choose GM free food.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#gmos EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on "environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage" (A5-0145/2003). According to the amendment, polluters have to pay for environmental clean-up, and it supports an EU-wide regime which makes polluters liable for the damage they cause to wildlife, water and land.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#liability EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on restructuring the "Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity" (A5-0302/2003). The amendment aims at giving tax benefits to environmentally friendly sources of energy, which would make them cheaper and more competitive to conventional (more polluting) sources of energy. It also gives tax benefits to environmentally friendly uses of energy for transport, for instance trains.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#tax EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
*Voted against the amendment on Bulgaria’s progress towards accession (A5-0105/2004). The report objects to extending the life of the nuclear power stations in Bulgaria.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#nuclear EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>

Westbourne Communications

2018-07-04T11:20:35Z

Tamasin Cave:

{{Template:Lobbying_Portal_badge}}'''Westbourne Communications''' is a lobbying firm co-founded and run by [[James Bethell]], the 5th Baron Bethell. It was sold to lobbying firm [[Cicero Consulting]] in June 2018, after which Bethell describes himself as 'senior counsel' to the firm.<ref>[https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesbethell James Bethell], Linkedin profile, accessed July 2018</ref>

Westbourne describes itself as a "small specialist agency that offers clients a fresh approach", placing strong emphasis on the need to change public opinion as a way of influencing decision-makers.

<blockquote style="background-color:#CEF2E0;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">The traditional ways of conducting your communications are growing out of date. The economics of digital media have broken old monopolies on information. Scandals created suspicion about back-room decisions. Consumers expect choices.
At Westbourne, we believe that decision-makers will be influenced less by secretive lobbying and more by changing opinion about your issues. Headlines and contacts are important but, increasingly, not enough. Nowadays it might be just as important to mobilise public supporters. Or else giving a voice to relevant specialist groups – experts, officials, professionals, locals, parents.
That’s why you need a new combination of skills. Researching opinion. Presenting your case. Adapting to feedback. Direct communications, often over the internet. Mobilising support. Rebutting opposition.</blockquote>

==Astroturfing==
===Fracking===
===='Students for shale'====
{{‪Template:Fracking badge‬}}In 2015 Westbourne were forced to deny they set up an '[[astroturf]]' group in favour of fracking, to benefit their clients - [[Centrica]] and [[Cuadrilla]]. In June 2015, press releases, featured in the mainstream media, showed eight students holding a banner saying 'Students for Shale' on the steps of Lancashire Country Council, in anticipation of the councils' up and coming debate on whether to allow fracking in the area.

The ''Morning Star'' claimed that the pro-shale students have vested interests in fracking because they are studying geology and hoping to get jobs in the industry. One of the students also attends [[Blackpool and Fylde College]], which was designated as the national training centre for the onshore gas sector in 2014. [[Centrica]] and [[Cuadrilla]] have 'supported' the college and fund the [[North West Energy Task Force]], which is led by Westbourne.

Westbourne account director, [[Maurice Cousins]], denied deliberately using Lancashire geology students to coerce positive public opinion of fracking. He said 'We are in no way misrepresenting how students regard fracking. I do not understand what the issue is. We are transparent and not misleading. The students are within their rights to their opinions'. The ''Morning Star'' contacted Blackpool and Fylde College, after which Cousins demanded that only he be contacted for information on the issue. Cousins also accused the newspaper of 'harassing' students and said they were 'students, not activists'.<ref name="SH"> Lamiat Sabin and Solomon Hughes [http://morningstaronline.co.uk/a-eb8b-Fracking-Fakes#.VYvSIxNVikp Shady shale lobbyists accused of setting up sham grassroots group supporting drilling] ''Morning Star'', 24 June 2015, accessed 25 June 2015.</ref>

===='North West Energy Task Force'====

Westbourne employed ex-ministerial environment special adviser [[Tom Evans]] until January 2015 to work with clients such as the [[North West Energy Task Force]] (NWETF), a ‘local’ lobby group set up by Centrica and Cuadrilla to push the business case for fracking in Lancashire. Analysis by Greenpeace in 2015 revealed however that less than half of NWETF’s members were based in the county, and included an elderly care home and a Welsh fishing resort.

Spinwatch highlights the benefits for lobbying firms such as Westbourne of employing former government advisers:
<blockquote style="background-color:#CEF2E0;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">
:Emails released recently by [[Defra]] under freedom of information rules reveal that in May 2014 a Westbourne staffer wrote to [[Guy Robinson]], who was at the time a special adviser to former environment secretary [[Owen Paterson]] (now [[Liz Truss]]), to request a meeting on ‘shale gas and farming’. The lobbyist, whose name is redacted but mentions NWETF is a client, was ‘working on a research paper exploring the potential benefits of shale gas developments to farmers’. He/she wanted ‘to discuss some of the findings’ over ‘some lunch or a brief coffee’ ahead of a launch event.

:Within hours Robinson had replied, asking the lobbyist to set up a meeting with his diary office. Unfortunately we have no way of knowing whether they met – the emails don’t give any dates in the secretariat’s reply, or indicate if they arranged it by phone. Nor is it listed on Defra's most recent disclosed spads’ meetings dated 30 June 2014.

Westbourne Communications

2018-07-04T11:09:54Z

Tamasin Cave:

{{Template:Lobbying_Portal_badge}}'''Westbourne Communications''' is a lobbying firm co-founded and run by [[James Bethell]], the 5th Baron Bethell. It was sold to lobbying firm [[Cicero Consulting]] in June 2018, after which Bethell describes himself as 'senior counsel' to the firm.

Westbourne describes itself as a "small specialist agency that offers clients a fresh approach", placing strong emphasis on the need to change public opinion as a way of influencing decision-makers.

<blockquote style="background-color:#CEF2E0;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">The traditional ways of conducting your communications are growing out of date. The economics of digital media have broken old monopolies on information. Scandals created suspicion about back-room decisions. Consumers expect choices.
At Westbourne, we believe that decision-makers will be influenced less by secretive lobbying and more by changing opinion about your issues. Headlines and contacts are important but, increasingly, not enough. Nowadays it might be just as important to mobilise public supporters. Or else giving a voice to relevant specialist groups – experts, officials, professionals, locals, parents.
That’s why you need a new combination of skills. Researching opinion. Presenting your case. Adapting to feedback. Direct communications, often over the internet. Mobilising support. Rebutting opposition.</blockquote>

==Astroturfing==
===Fracking===
===='Students for shale'====
{{‪Template:Fracking badge‬}}In 2015 Westbourne were forced to deny they set up an '[[astroturf]]' group in favour of fracking, to benefit their clients - [[Centrica]] and [[Cuadrilla]]. In June 2015, press releases, featured in the mainstream media, showed eight students holding a banner saying 'Students for Shale' on the steps of Lancashire Country Council, in anticipation of the councils' up and coming debate on whether to allow fracking in the area.

The ''Morning Star'' claimed that the pro-shale students have vested interests in fracking because they are studying geology and hoping to get jobs in the industry. One of the students also attends [[Blackpool and Fylde College]], which was designated as the national training centre for the onshore gas sector in 2014. [[Centrica]] and [[Cuadrilla]] have 'supported' the college and fund the [[North West Energy Task Force]], which is led by Westbourne.

Westbourne account director, [[Maurice Cousins]], denied deliberately using Lancashire geology students to coerce positive public opinion of fracking. He said 'We are in no way misrepresenting how students regard fracking. I do not understand what the issue is. We are transparent and not misleading. The students are within their rights to their opinions'. The ''Morning Star'' contacted Blackpool and Fylde College, after which Cousins demanded that only he be contacted for information on the issue. Cousins also accused the newspaper of 'harassing' students and said they were 'students, not activists'.<ref name="SH"> Lamiat Sabin and Solomon Hughes [http://morningstaronline.co.uk/a-eb8b-Fracking-Fakes#.VYvSIxNVikp Shady shale lobbyists accused of setting up sham grassroots group supporting drilling] ''Morning Star'', 24 June 2015, accessed 25 June 2015.</ref>

===='North West Energy Task Force'====

Westbourne employed ex-ministerial environment special adviser [[Tom Evans]] until January 2015 to work with clients such as the [[North West Energy Task Force]] (NWETF), a ‘local’ lobby group set up by Centrica and Cuadrilla to push the business case for fracking in Lancashire. Analysis by Greenpeace in 2015 revealed however that less than half of NWETF’s members were based in the county, and included an elderly care home and a Welsh fishing resort.

Spinwatch highlights the benefits for lobbying firms such as Westbourne of employing former government advisers:
<blockquote style="background-color:#CEF2E0;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">
:Emails released recently by [[Defra]] under freedom of information rules reveal that in May 2014 a Westbourne staffer wrote to [[Guy Robinson]], who was at the time a special adviser to former environment secretary [[Owen Paterson]] (now [[Liz Truss]]), to request a meeting on ‘shale gas and farming’. The lobbyist, whose name is redacted but mentions NWETF is a client, was ‘working on a research paper exploring the potential benefits of shale gas developments to farmers’. He/she wanted ‘to discuss some of the findings’ over ‘some lunch or a brief coffee’ ahead of a launch event.

:Within hours Robinson had replied, asking the lobbyist to set up a meeting with his diary office. Unfortunately we have no way of knowing whether they met – the emails don’t give any dates in the secretariat’s reply, or indicate if they arranged it by phone. Nor is it listed on Defra's most recent disclosed spads’ meetings dated 30 June 2014.

:Guy Robinson, as it turns out, is an ex-lobbyist himself – he once worked for [[Crosby Textor]], the UK-Australian lobbying outfit co-owned by [[David Cameron]]’s infamous election spin doctor [[Lynton Crosby]].

:Evans now works for a much bigger lobbying firm, [[Burson Marsteller]] (B-M), which handles the account of petrochemical giant and wannabe fracker [[Ineos]]. B-M used to employ [[Maria Allen]], now special adviser to energy and climate minister [[Amber Rudd]]. <ref> Melissa Jones and Andy Rowell, [http://www.spinwatch.org/index.php/issues/climate/item/5765-access-all-areas-frackers-lobbyists-and-the-revolving-door Access all areas: Westminster's (vast) fracking lobby exposed], 29 April 2015. </ref></blockquote>

Westbourne Communications

2018-07-04T11:07:28Z

Tamasin Cave: /* APPC lobbying register */

{{Template:Lobbying_Portal_badge}}'''Westbourne Communications''' is a lobbying firm co-founded and run by [[James Bethell]], the 5th Baron Bethell. It describes itself as a "small specialist agency that offers clients a fresh approach", placing strong emphasis on the need to change public opinion as a way of influencing decision-makers.

<blockquote style="background-color:#CEF2E0;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">The traditional ways of conducting your communications are growing out of date. The economics of digital media have broken old monopolies on information. Scandals created suspicion about back-room decisions. Consumers expect choices.
At Westbourne, we believe that decision-makers will be influenced less by secretive lobbying and more by changing opinion about your issues. Headlines and contacts are important but, increasingly, not enough. Nowadays it might be just as important to mobilise public supporters. Or else giving a voice to relevant specialist groups – experts, officials, professionals, locals, parents.
That’s why you need a new combination of skills. Researching opinion. Presenting your case. Adapting to feedback. Direct communications, often over the internet. Mobilising support. Rebutting opposition.</blockquote>

==Astroturfing==
===Fracking===
===='Students for shale'====
{{‪Template:Fracking badge‬}}In 2015 Westbourne were forced to deny they set up an '[[astroturf]]' group in favour of fracking, to benefit their clients - [[Centrica]] and [[Cuadrilla]]. In June 2015, press releases, featured in the mainstream media, showed eight students holding a banner saying 'Students for Shale' on the steps of Lancashire Country Council, in anticipation of the councils' up and coming debate on whether to allow fracking in the area.

The ''Morning Star'' claimed that the pro-shale students have vested interests in fracking because they are studying geology and hoping to get jobs in the industry. One of the students also attends [[Blackpool and Fylde College]], which was designated as the national training centre for the onshore gas sector in 2014. [[Centrica]] and [[Cuadrilla]] have 'supported' the college and fund the [[North West Energy Task Force]], which is led by Westbourne.

Westbourne account director, [[Maurice Cousins]], denied deliberately using Lancashire geology students to coerce positive public opinion of fracking. He said 'We are in no way misrepresenting how students regard fracking. I do not understand what the issue is. We are transparent and not misleading. The students are within their rights to their opinions'. The ''Morning Star'' contacted Blackpool and Fylde College, after which Cousins demanded that only he be contacted for information on the issue. Cousins also accused the newspaper of 'harassing' students and said they were 'students, not activists'.<ref name="SH"> Lamiat Sabin and Solomon Hughes [http://morningstaronline.co.uk/a-eb8b-Fracking-Fakes#.VYvSIxNVikp Shady shale lobbyists accused of setting up sham grassroots group supporting drilling] ''Morning Star'', 24 June 2015, accessed 25 June 2015.</ref>

===='North West Energy Task Force'====

Westbourne employed ex-ministerial environment special adviser [[Tom Evans]] until January 2015 to work with clients such as the [[North West Energy Task Force]] (NWETF), a ‘local’ lobby group set up by Centrica and Cuadrilla to push the business case for fracking in Lancashire. Analysis by Greenpeace in 2015 revealed however that less than half of NWETF’s members were based in the county, and included an elderly care home and a Welsh fishing resort.

Spinwatch highlights the benefits for lobbying firms such as Westbourne of employing former government advisers:
<blockquote style="background-color:#CEF2E0;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">
:Emails released recently by [[Defra]] under freedom of information rules reveal that in May 2014 a Westbourne staffer wrote to [[Guy Robinson]], who was at the time a special adviser to former environment secretary [[Owen Paterson]] (now [[Liz Truss]]), to request a meeting on ‘shale gas and farming’. The lobbyist, whose name is redacted but mentions NWETF is a client, was ‘working on a research paper exploring the potential benefits of shale gas developments to farmers’. He/she wanted ‘to discuss some of the findings’ over ‘some lunch or a brief coffee’ ahead of a launch event.

:Within hours Robinson had replied, asking the lobbyist to set up a meeting with his diary office. Unfortunately we have no way of knowing whether they met – the emails don’t give any dates in the secretariat’s reply, or indicate if they arranged it by phone. Nor is it listed on Defra's most recent disclosed spads’ meetings dated 30 June 2014.

:Guy Robinson, as it turns out, is an ex-lobbyist himself – he once worked for [[Crosby Textor]], the UK-Australian lobbying outfit co-owned by [[David Cameron]]’s infamous election spin doctor [[Lynton Crosby]].

:Evans now works for a much bigger lobbying firm, [[Burson Marsteller]] (B-M), which handles the account of petrochemical giant and wannabe fracker [[Ineos]]. B-M used to employ [[Maria Allen]], now special adviser to energy and climate minister [[Amber Rudd]]. <ref> Melissa Jones and Andy Rowell, [http://www.spinwatch.org/index.php/issues/climate/item/5765-access-all-areas-frackers-lobbyists-and-the-revolving-door Access all areas: Westminster's (vast) fracking lobby exposed], 29 April 2015. </ref></blockquote>

Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy

2018-05-30T06:41:38Z

Tamasin Cave: /* People in BEIS */

{{Template:Climate badge}} [[Image:BEIS.jpg|200px|right|thumb|]]

The '''Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy''' ('''BEIS''') was created on 14 July 2016 by the merger of the [[Department for Business Innovation & Skills]] (BIS) and [[Department of Energy and Climate Change]] (DECC). <ref> Ian Johnston, [http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change-department-killed-off-by-theresa-may-in-plain-stupid-and-deeply-worrying-move-a7137166.html Climate change department closed by Theresa May in 'plain stupid' and 'deeply worrying' move], ''The Independent'', 14 July 2016, accessed 14 September 2016</ref>

The department brings together the responsibilities from BIS and DECC, including 'business, industrial strategy, science, innovation, energy, and climate change'. <ref> [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-energy-and-industrial-strategy Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy], ''GOV.uk'', accessed 25 October 2016.</ref>

==Background==
The creation of BEIS was one of the first acts of [[Theresa May]]'s premiership following the abolition of DECC. The move caused controversy amongst green campaigners and opposition MPs who condemned it as a 'major setback for UK's climate change efforts'. <ref> Adam Vaughan, [https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jul/15/decc-abolition-major-setback-for-uk-climate-change-efforts Abolition of Decc 'major setback for UK's climate change efforts'], ''The Guardian'', 15 July 2016, accessed 25 October 2016. </ref> [[Policy Exchange]] conversely argued that BEIS would elevate climate change issues to 'a much higher level politically'. <ref> Richard Howard, [https://policyexchange.org.uk/green-groups-should-embrace-not-bemoan-the-merger-of-decc-and-bis/ Green groups should embrace, not bemoan, the merger of DECC and BIS], ''Policy Exchange'', 15 July 2016, accessed 25 October 2016.</ref>

The '''Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA)''' is a seminal free market think-tank based in London. Through its promotion of free market theorists like [[Milton Friedman]] it provided an intellectual rationale for business friendly political and economic reforms introduced by the Thatcher government in the UK - a political programme which later came to be known as neoliberalism.

==Origins and history==
[[Image:Harris seldon and hayek.jpg|thumb|280px|right|[[Ralph Harris]] and [[Arthur Seldon]] with their philosophical mentor [[Friedrich Hayek]] outside IEA's Westminster office in 1984.]]
[[Ed Vaizey]] writes in ''The Sunday Times'':
:The oldest and biggest daddy of them all, the Institute of Economic Affairs, exists to propagate the ideas of free markets and privatisation. It has been going for nearly 50 years, and advises governments all over the world on ways to denationalise and bring in market systems.<ref>[[Ed Vaizey]], "[http://web.archive.org/web/20040907005929/www.iea.org.uk/record.jsp?type=news&ID=34 IEA is still the oldest and biggest daddy of them all!]", ''Sunday Times'', 15 July 2002, accessed in Web Archive, 16 March 2009</ref>

The Institute of Economic Affairs was set up in the mid-1950s by [[Antony Fisher]], an Old Etonian chicken farmer who had made his fortune by pioneering US battery farming techniques in the UK. [[Antony Fisher|Fisher]] had joined the [[Mont Pelerin Society]] and had been advised by [[Friedrich von Hayek]] against going into politics to spread the neoliberal philosophy. Instead [[Friedrich von Hayek|Hayek]] recommended that [[Antony Fisher|Fisher]] change society by targeting intellectual opinion. <ref>''Tory! Tory! Tory!'', broadcast Friday, 10 August from 2340 BST on BBC Four. See also Brian Wheeler, '[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4766446.stm Tory! Tory! Tory! (Part one)]', BBC News Online, 8 March 2006.</ref> [[Antony Fisher|Fisher]] therefore founded IEA and recruited the Cambridge-trained economist [[Ralph Harris]] as director, and [[Arthur Seldon]] as research director. <ref>Brian Wheeler, '[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4766446.stm Tory! Tory! Tory! (Part one)]', BBC News Online, 8 March 2006.</ref> The [[BBC]] documentary ''Tory! Tory! Tory!'' states: 'They would grow old together side by side, [[Arthur Seldon|Seldon]] writing, [[Ralph Harris|Harris]] hustling.' <ref>''Tory! Tory! Tory!'' broadcast Friday, 10 August from 2340 BST on BBC Four.</ref>

IEA was incorporated on 29 March 1963 and registered as a charity on 25 August 1969. <ref>The Charity Commission, [http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/ShowCharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityFramework.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=235351&SubsidiaryNumber=0 235351 - THE INSTITUTE OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS LIMITED] [Accessed 9 October 2009]</ref>
===Conservative Movement===
In a March 2009 presentation [[Tim Montgomerie]] and [[Matthew Elliott]] described IEA as part of the infrastructure of the [[Movement Conservatism|conservative movement]] in Britain.<ref>Tim Montgomerie, [http://conservativehome.blogs.com/centreright/2009/03/the-growth-of-b.html The growth of Britain's conservative movement], ConservativeHome, 14 March 2009.</ref>
==Views/Activities==
===Agriculture and the environment===
IEA was founded in the 1950s by [[Antony Fisher]] out of a fortune made from intensively farmed broiler chickens (Buxted Chickens). Given a founding father who was both a pioneer of factory farming and an extreme free marketeer, it is hardly surprising that the IEA has consistently promoted the view that deregulated intensive farming and unfettered 'free trade' are of great benefit to the environment. But it wasn't until the 1990s that the IEA started seriously to focus on environmental issues.

In 1990 the IEA warned that 'green' policies would lead to an 'ecological hell' and a plummeting standard of living. In 1993 the IEA launched its Environment Unit. Its director was [[Roger Bate]]. A formal launch came in March 1994 to coincide with the publication of the Unit's first book, ''Global Warming: Apocalypse or Hot Air?'' The book was co-edited by Roger Bate and [[Julian Morris]]. Morris had been a Research Fellow at the IEA since 1993 and in July 1998 became the Environment Unit's co-director.

In August 1999, Bate and Morris published a book called ''Fearing Food: Risk, Health and the Environment''. According to an IEA press release:
:The book shows that intensive agriculture is good for health and the environment, and is essential if the world's population is to be fed without converting vast areas of biodiverse ecosystems into cropland, which would be necessary if organic agriculture, with its lower yields, were used.<ref>IEA press release, cited by Andrew Rowell in "[http://ngin.tripod.com/godfathers.htm Organicised crime: The backlash against organic food has begun. But who is behind it?]", The Ecologist, Vol. 31, No. 1, February 2001, accessed March 16 2009.</ref>

It contained a chapter by [[Dennis Avery]] of the [[Hudson Institute]], 'The Fallacy of the Organic Utopia', and one defending GM crops co-written by [[John Hillman]] from the [[Scottish Crop Research Institute]] and [[Michael Wilson]] of [[Horticulture Research International]].

Bate and Morris are affiliated to a series of organizations, other than the Institute of Economic Affairs, several of which they founded themselves. Fearing Food was said to be a publication of the [[European Science and Environment Forum]] (ESEF), which Bate both co-founded (1994) and directed (the original ESEF website was registered by Morris). However, a press release announcing the book, headed 'Londoners demand regulation of potentially deadly organic food', was sent out in the name of the IEA.<ref>"Londoners demand regulation of potentially deadly organic food", press release, Institute of Economic Affairs, 16 August 1999.</ref>

A year later, Morris appeared in his role as director of the IEA's Environment Unit in a ‘Counterblast’ programme on BBC 2 TV (broadcast 31 January, 2000). The programme was written and presented by Bate in his role as Director of ESEF. No mention was made of Bate's IEA affiliation and the same went for several other IEA intimates, such as IEA Media Fellow [[Richard D. North]]. The Counterblast series is intended by the BBC to allow 'members of the public' to air their views.

In June 2000 the IEA hosted An Occasional Lecture at their offices in London, entitled 'Frankenfood and Monarch Butterflies'. It was given by [[Channapatna S. Prakash|CS Prakash]] of the [[AgBioWorld]] Foundation. AgBioWorld's campaign was co-founded by [[Greg Conko]] of the [[Competitive Enterprise Institute]], where Bate is an adjunct fellow.

In September 2000 the assistance of the Institute of Economic Affairs was acknowledged by the authors of an anti-organic report launched in the U.S. The authors included [[Monsanto]]'s former director of executive communications, [[Graydon Forrer]], and [[Alex Avery]] of the [[Hudson Institute]]. The controversial ideas on organic food of Alex's father, [[Dennis Avery]], had been central to Fearing Food and the way in which Bate and Morris had launched it a year earlier (with a press release about "deadly organic food", see above).

Among others associated with the IEA's Environment Unit are [[Matt Ridley]] and [[Philip Stott]]. Stott claims to have 'no formal connections with the IEA' and not to 'share their economic views'. Note the stress on 'formal'. He entirely shares their antipathy towards environmental concerns, is close to Morris and Bate, has had a monograph published by the IEA, and has contributed to IEA-led events.

The IEA claims to have 'no corporate view' but this appears to be a device to enable the IEA to distance itself where convenient from the often controversial views promoted by its staff and associates.

===Public Choice theory===
In addition to promoting the free market economics and monetarist theory particularly associated with [[Friedrich Hayek]] and [[Milton Friedman]], the IEA also disseminated Public Choice theory, a branch of neoliberal thought which uses rational choice theory as a basis for attacking the ethos of the public sector. Writing in 2000, IEA's [[Arthur Seldon]] recalled:

:From the early 1960s onwards, the IEA published writings by the two founders of 'public' choice, Professors James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock... The first publication ['The Inconsistencies of the National Health Service'], in 1965, emerged from Professor Buchanan's observation at a discussion of the National Health Service that its incurable underlying dilemma was that the people would not pay taxes for as much (or as good) medical care as they desired or expected 'free' from government. Then, as still in our day, the explanation by sociologists and political scientists, that the cause was 'under-funding', was based on the continuing preoccupation with macro-economic rather than micro-economic thinking. <ref>Tullock, Gordon, Arthur Seldon, and Gordon L. Brady. ''Government: Whose Obedient Servant?: a Primer in Public Choice''. London: Institute of Economic Affairs, 2000, p.xiii.</ref>

[[Arthur Seldon|Seldon]] also notes [[Gordon Tullck|Tullock's]] Hobart Paper ''The Vote Motive'', published in 1976, and an IEA publication ''The Economics of Politics'', which resulted from a two day conference attended by [[James Buchanan]] and economists from Canada the US and Switzerland. <ref>Tullock, Gordon, Arthur Seldon, and Gordon L. Brady. ''Government: Whose Obedient Servant?: a Primer in Public Choice''. London: Institute of Economic Affairs, 2000, p.xiv.</ref>

===Privatisation===

The IEA are known for their work in the field of privatisation. It was they who commissioned [[Stephen Littlechild]] in 1981 to write the paper "Ten steps to denationalisation". Littlechild later became one of the four "regulators" who oversee 20% of the UK's GDP in the form of the four utilities: Gas, Water, Electricity and Telecommunications. They have also influenced the Government's minimum wage policy, promoted the notion that "non-traditional" families (i.e. black and Asian) produce more delinquent children, and lately have advocated that "student loans should be charged at a higher rate of interest." Mrs Thatcher herself stated that "What we have achieved could never have been done without the leadership of the IEA."
===Water===
The IEA has been a consistent advocate of increasing the 'purity' of the privatisation arrangements in the water industry in England and Wales. Regards Scotland, two of the IEA's most influential members [[John Blundell]] and [[Colin Robinson]] have written regularly on the case for privatisation of Scotland's water services. Colin Robinson wrote a particularly forceful advocacy of privatisation through the [[Policy Institute]] <ref> Policy Institute, [http://policyinstitute.info/resource/2007/10/robinsonmar05.pdf'Reviving the Scottish Water Industry'], accessed 12 June 2008 </ref>. The IEA, in conjunction with [[Marketforce]] organise conferences considering issues pertaining to water and the commercial opportunities within the sector. These conferences are economically prohibitive to people outside the industry.

===Tobacco===
IEA has also campaigned against the ban on smoking in pubs and tobacco displays in shops. It published a report in 2010 claiming the ban on tobacco risks 'significant economic damage and a deterioration in public health'. The claims have been questioned by researchers.<ref>Randeep Ramesh, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/jul/14/anti-smoking-law-government-review Anti-smoking law may be overturned in government review], ''The Guardian'', 14 July 2010</ref>

===Fair Trade===
In November 2010 the Institute released a 130-page report that denounced the fair trade movement as 'froth', and fair trade as 'costly, opaque and substantially unproven'. Entitled Fair Trade without the Froth: A Dispassionate Economic Analysis of “Fair Trade”', the report argued that 'claims by the Fair Trade movement are seriously exaggerated'. <ref> IEA, [http://www.iea.org.uk/record.jsp?type=release&ID=217 New research finds Fair Trade is a distraction, not a solution], 4 November 2010, accessed 9 November 2010. </ref>

The report received wide media coverage. The Guardian's John Vidal described the report as 'vicious' and pointed out that the author of the report, [[Sushil Mohan]] had spent years working as an adviser to the global tea and coffee industries. <ref> John Vidal, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2010/nov/04/fair-trade-under-attack A question for the fair trade critics: How much is human dignity worth?], The Guardian PovertyMattersBlog, 4 November 2010 16.23 GMT, accessed 9 November 2010. </ref>

==Organisation and status==
===Charitable status===
The IEA states it is 'entirely funded by voluntary donations from individuals, companies and foundations ...it does no contract work, accepts no money from government and is independent of any political party. <ref> [http://www.iea.org.uk/record.jsp?type=page&ID=23 IEA website] accessed 9 June 2010</ref> However questions have been raised over its right to charitable status, with Labour MP Dale Campbell-Savours in a 1991 House of Commons debate<ref> [http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm199091/cmhansrd/1991-06-20/Debate-12.html Hansard HC, 20 June 1991] accessed 9 June 2010</ref> describing IEA's activities as "patently political".

Tamasin Cave: /* Dec 2017 - Feb 2018 */

{{Template:Lobbying_Portal_badge}}{{‪Template:Fracking badge‬}}{{Template:Brexit badge}}'''Portland''' is an international PR and lobbying consultancy founded in 2001 by [[Tim Allan]], a former adviser to UK prime minister [[Tony Blair]].<ref>[http://www.portlandpr.co.uk/about About Portland], Portland PR website, accessed 11 Nov 2009</ref> It also employs [[Alastair Campbell]], Blair’s former spin doctor.

It has offices in London, New York, Washington DC, Nairobi, Doha and Singapore.

It has been described as 'pretty secretive', and is seen as doing 'big advisory work on big brands for big bucks.'<ref>Nick Clark, [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/ball-joins-portland-as-adviser-1807615.html Ball joins Portland as adviser] ''Independent'', 23 October 2009</ref>

==Brexit lobbying==
Portland has established a dedicated Brexit Unit to advise its clients.<ref>[https://brexit.portland-communications.com/ Brexit], Portland Communications, accessed Nov 2017</ref> It is headed up by partner [[Victoria Dean]].

Portland says it is ‘already working hard to help [clients] understand how we will exit Europe, what this might mean for their business,’ and crucially, ‘how they can enter the debate.’

Among its Brexit services, Portland is helping business to create communications strategies 'to mitigate the risks and maximise the opportunities associated with the UK’s departure from the EU' and that it is advising clients on 'how to influence the process'.<ref>[http://portland-communications.com/pdf/Portland%20Brexit%20Unit.pdf Making sense of Brexit brochure], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>

Portland’s Brexit Unit includes:<ref>[http://portland-communications.com/pdf/Portland%20Brexit%20Unit.pdf Making sense of Brexit brochure], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>
*[[Victoria Dean]], Portland partner: ex-head of the [[Foreign Office]]’s Europe Directorate, Victoria worked with the UK government on Brexit preparations. She has also served as the spokesperson and head of communications for the UK’s representation in Brussels. Portland writes:<ref>[http://portland-communications.com/pdf/Portland%20Brexit%20Unit.pdf Making sense of Brexit brochure], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>
::'Victoria brings a keen understanding of the issues, processes and personalities involved in shaping and influencing the EU, be it from the inside or beyond. Her role at Portland is designed to help clients better navigate this tricky area, enabling them to manage risks, influence the right decision-makers at the right points in the process, but also to take advantage of the new opportunities opening up.'
*[[Amy Richards]], associate director; previously managed the national press office for [[Britain Stronger in Europe]] campaign. Before that she was a senior adviser to [[Yvette Cooper]], shadow home secretary.

Portland's Brexit Unit also consists of 'a team of Executives, Managers and Directors drawn from across Portland’s Corporate, Local and International teams' (''see below''). Until June 2017, it also included [[Henry Cook]], now a special adviser to [[Michael Gove]]. And until October 2017, it also included [[James Starkie]], who also left Portland to join [[Michael Gove]] as a special adviser.

===Post-Brexit regulation===
On the subject of 'maximising opportunities', Portland's Brexit 'brochure' explains that 'Post-Brexit, laws, rules and regulations which were previously set at EU level will become the competence of the UK' and that the '"Great Repeal Bill” will transfer existing EU laws and regulations onto the UK statute book. Parliament will then be able to change these laws,' it says. It adds:<ref>[http://portland-communications.com/pdf/Portland%20Brexit%20Unit.pdf Making sense of Brexit brochure], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>
:'Government departments are already considering which laws they want to keep, and which they want to amend, repeal or replace. This has implications across sectors and industries, with the potential for sweeping regulatory change.'

In a related article on Portland’s website, former Portland lobbyist [[Mark Wallace]] writes about the ‘opportunities that are made available by leaving the EU'. 'Foremost is the potential for free trade between the UK and non-EU countries, as we withdraw from the EU’s protectionist tariffs.’ He writes of the prospect from Brexit of ‘greater regulatory flexibility’ and anticipates that ‘over the coming months, we should expect the newly beefed-up Business Department, as well as other parts of Whitehall, to study in detail the possibilities for reducing red tape costs on business.’, which will surely benefit some of Portland’s clients.<ref>[http://brexit.portland-communications.com/brexit-presents-a-rare-opportunity/ Brexit Presents a Rare Opportunity], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>

==Lobbying for overseas governments==
Portland has lobbied for a number of overseas governments in recent years. These have included the governments of: [[Russia]]; [[Qatar]]; and [[Kazakhstan]]; plus the States of Jersey.

In November 2014 Portland appointed [[Jonathan McClory]] as director of its new 'place branding' practice, which aims to help countries and governments to build a stronger global brand. <ref> Anna Reynolds [http://www.prweek.com/article/1321892/portland-launches-place-branding-practice-jonathan-mcclory Portland launches place branding practice under Jonathan McClory] ''PR Week'', 17 November 2014, accessed 5 December 2014 </ref>

===Relationship with the Bahraini government===

In 2006, Portland began work with the [[Mo Ibrahim Foundation]], which looks at leadership and governance in Africa and was set up by telecommunications billionaire, [[Mo Ibrahim]]. [[Robert Watkinson]] was hired by Portland to coordinate the launch of the Foundation, lead Portland's philanthropic work and oversee the Portland Africa Network.

Portland also works with former UN secretary general [[Kofi Annan]].<ref> Portland Communications, [http://www.portland-communications.com/people/robert-watkinson/ Robert Watkinson], accessed 9 February 2015 </ref>

==Ties to the UK's education reformers==
Portland has numerous lobbying clients that are pushing for reform of education systems that benefit corporate interests. These include, or have recently included:
*[[Google]]
*[[Apple]]
*[[Nesta]], a UK-based 'innovation charity'
*[[Intellect]], now known as [[TechUK]], the IT lobby group in the UK
*[[UKIE]], gaming lobby group
*[[Vodafone]]
*[[Virgin]]
*[[BT]]
*[[New Schools Network]]

Thanks to the lack of lobbying transparency rules in the UK, it is not known which areas of policy Portland was helping these clients with. If, however, it was not education policy, it would have been an opportunity lost. Portland was incredibly well connected to the [[Department for Education]] under reform-minded education secretary [[Michael Gove]].

Portland’s head of campaigns in the three years to the 2010 UK general election was [[James Frayne]]. In early 2011, Gove picked Frayne as his director of communications in an effort to ‘beef up’ his team with some campaigning experience. Gove’s media adviser was another from the lobbying firm. Portland’s alumni also include a then Member of Parliament’s education committee. Since early 2012 Portland has also employed [[James O’Shaughnessy]] part-time, the man who has 'staked his career' on Gove succeeding. Finally, Portland is advised by [[Michael Portillo]], the inspiration behind the [[Policy Exchange]], which has done much to push the education reform agenda in the UK. As the Policy Exchange's first chair and a committed Portillista, Gove expressed his admiration by writing his biography, ''Michael Portillo: The Future of the Right''. It has long since been remaindered. The ideas, however, live on.

This revolving door between Gove’s office and Portland is not evidence of anything. It is merely a structure, but one that could have obviously facilitated communication between Gove and any corporation looking to reshape schools in its own interest.

==Social networks==
Portland is rumoured to host monthly dinners between clients and officials, including at the ‘extortionately expensive’ Haymarket Hotel off Trafalgar Square. [[David Laws]], then education minister, was guest, for example, at a dinner with Portland’s ‘clients and friends’.<ref>Cave & Rowell, ''A Quiet Word: Lobbying, Crony Capitalism, and Broken Politics in Britain'' (page 67), Bodley Head, 2014</ref>

==Background==
''Private Eye'' reported in 2006:
:The knives are out for former Downing Street aide Tim Allan... and they are being wielded by Labour MPs. Although Allan left Number Ten in 2000 to pursue a living in PR after six years as [[Alastair Campbell]]'s deputy, this hardly represented a career change - his influence seems to linger on.

:Allan now runs Portland PR whose clients include [[BSkyB]], for whom he briefly worked. Last December he leaked to New Labour's favourite hack [[Tom Baldwin]] a tape of ''Today'' programme presenter [[John Humphrys]] making unflattering comments about various government ministers at a private business seminar. The resulting media furore was a double coup for Allan since it embarrassed Sky's main rival, the Beeb, and created trouble for Humphrys, a long-time thorn in the side of Allan's friends in Downing Street.

:But Allan was himself the victim of a leak when, in February, documents advising Sky's head of communications [[Matthew Anderson]] on how to ingratiate himself with culture and media minister [[Tessa Jowell]] ended up in the papers (see Eye 1155).

:Allan is also a close friend of pensions minister [[James Purnell]] - they were flatmates and Purnell was best man at Allan's wedding - who was identified in April as the man behind a story in the Guardian accusing [[Gordon Brown]] of trying to oust Tony Blair from power.

:Now Labour backbenchers have started asking awkward questions about how far Allan's schmoozing of Whitehall really goes. In the last month, no fewer than nine questions have been tabled asking ministers 'what meetings officials in the [their] department have had with representatives of the public relations company [[Portland PR]]; what contracts Portland PR has with his Department and agencies for which he has responsibility; and what the nature of the contract is in each case'.

:Most of the responses give nothing away ('The departments for which I am responsible do not maintain central lists of such meetings. Civil servants meet many people as part of the process of policy development and business delivery'), although leader of the House Jack Straw admits that two special advisers working for his predecessor [[Geoff Hoon]] had attended 'a summer garden party on 13 July 2005 hosted by Portland PR'.

:What makes this development interesting is the identity of those tabling the questions, most of whom could never be bracketed in the 'awkward squad'. Leading the charge are key Gordon Brown allies [[Doug Henderson]] and [[Nick Brown]]. It was the latter who asked the prime minister, no less, what dealings his office had had with Portland.

:An answer from Number Ten is still awaited. Allan's company has also been singled out in a Commons motion put down by former government whip [[Fraser Kemp]], deploring Portland's role in preparing propaganda leaflets for [[Asda]] in a bid to persuade its workers to sign away their union negotiating rights. A tribunal fined the supermarket giant £850,000 for its actions, describing the leaflets as 'very hostile to trade unions, and highly disparaging of the process of collective bargaining'.<ref>[http://www.spinwatch.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2812 Portland Stoned] Private Eye, 9 June - 22 June 2006, No 1160</ref>

It has been described as 'pretty secretive', and is seen as doing 'big advisory work on big brands for big bucks.'<ref>Nick Clark, [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/ball-joins-portland-as-adviser-1807615.html Ball joins Portland as adviser] ''Independent'', 23 October 2009</ref>

==Brexit lobbying==
Portland has established a dedicated Brexit Unit to advise its clients.<ref>[https://brexit.portland-communications.com/ Brexit], Portland Communications, accessed Nov 2017</ref> It is headed up by partner [[Victoria Dean]].

Portland says it is ‘already working hard to help [clients] understand how we will exit Europe, what this might mean for their business,’ and crucially, ‘how they can enter the debate.’

Among its Brexit services, Portland is helping business to create communications strategies 'to mitigate the risks and maximise the opportunities associated with the UK’s departure from the EU' and that it is advising clients on 'how to influence the process'.<ref>[http://portland-communications.com/pdf/Portland%20Brexit%20Unit.pdf Making sense of Brexit brochure], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>

Portland’s Brexit Unit includes:<ref>[http://portland-communications.com/pdf/Portland%20Brexit%20Unit.pdf Making sense of Brexit brochure], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>
*[[Victoria Dean]], Portland partner: ex-head of the [[Foreign Office]]’s Europe Directorate, Victoria worked with the UK government on Brexit preparations. She has also served as the spokesperson and head of communications for the UK’s representation in Brussels. Portland writes:<ref>[http://portland-communications.com/pdf/Portland%20Brexit%20Unit.pdf Making sense of Brexit brochure], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>
::'Victoria brings a keen understanding of the issues, processes and personalities involved in shaping and influencing the EU, be it from the inside or beyond. Her role at Portland is designed to help clients better navigate this tricky area, enabling them to manage risks, influence the right decision-makers at the right points in the process, but also to take advantage of the new opportunities opening up.'
*[[Amy Richards]], associate director; previously managed the national press office for [[Britain Stronger in Europe]] campaign. Before that she was a senior adviser to [[Yvette Cooper]], shadow home secretary.

Portland's Brexit Unit also consists of 'a team of Executives, Managers and Directors drawn from across Portland’s Corporate, Local and International teams' (''see below''). Until June 2017, it also included [[Henry Cook]], now a special adviser to [[Michael Gove]]. And until October 2017, it also included [[James Starkie]], who also left Portland to join [[Michael Gove]] as a special adviser.

===Post-Brexit regulation===
On the subject of 'maximising opportunities', Portland's Brexit 'brochure' explains that 'Post-Brexit, laws, rules and regulations which were previously set at EU level will become the competence of the UK' and that the '"Great Repeal Bill” will transfer existing EU laws and regulations onto the UK statute book. Parliament will then be able to change these laws,' it says. It adds:<ref>[http://portland-communications.com/pdf/Portland%20Brexit%20Unit.pdf Making sense of Brexit brochure], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>
:'Government departments are already considering which laws they want to keep, and which they want to amend, repeal or replace. This has implications across sectors and industries, with the potential for sweeping regulatory change.'

In a related article on Portland’s website, former Portland lobbyist [[Mark Wallace]] writes about the ‘opportunities that are made available by leaving the EU'. 'Foremost is the potential for free trade between the UK and non-EU countries, as we withdraw from the EU’s protectionist tariffs.’ He writes of the prospect from Brexit of ‘greater regulatory flexibility’ and anticipates that ‘over the coming months, we should expect the newly beefed-up Business Department, as well as other parts of Whitehall, to study in detail the possibilities for reducing red tape costs on business.’, which will surely benefit some of Portland’s clients.<ref>[http://brexit.portland-communications.com/brexit-presents-a-rare-opportunity/ Brexit Presents a Rare Opportunity], Portland website, accessed Nov 2017</ref>

==Lobbying for overseas governments==
Portland has lobbied for a number of overseas governments in recent years. These have included the governments of: [[Russia]]; [[Qatar]]; and [[Kazakhstan]]; plus the States of Jersey.

In November 2014 Portland appointed [[Jonathan McClory]] as director of its new 'place branding' practice, which aims to help countries and governments to build a stronger global brand. <ref> Anna Reynolds [http://www.prweek.com/article/1321892/portland-launches-place-branding-practice-jonathan-mcclory Portland launches place branding practice under Jonathan McClory] ''PR Week'', 17 November 2014, accessed 5 December 2014 </ref>

===Relationship with the Bahraini government===
According to a posting on the website of the Bahraini government’s Tender Board, Portland Communications made a bid of 25.7 million US dollars to win a new PR contract.<ref> [http://www.tenderboard.gov.bh/Tendering/Reports/OpenedTendersReport.aspx?TenderID=224886], accessed 18 November 2012. </ref> Advocacy group Bahrain Watch called the bidding PR companies not to play a role in the Bahraini government's attempt to whitewash its image amidst its repression of pro-democracy protesters. <ref> [https://bahrainwatch.org/blog/2013/10/14/pr-firms-compete-for-multi-million-dollar-contract-bahrain/],"Western PR Firms Compete for Fresh Multi-Million Dollar Contract with Bahrain Govt", accessed 18 November 2013. </ref>

==Philanthropic clients==
In 2006, Portland began work with the [[Mo Ibrahim Foundation]], which looks at leadership and governance in Africa and was set up by telecommunications billionaire, [[Mo Ibrahim]]. [[Robert Watkinson]] was hired by Portland to coordinate the launch of the Foundation, lead Portland's philanthropic work and oversee the Portland Africa Network.

Portland also works with former UN secretary general [[Kofi Annan]].<ref> Portland Communications, [http://www.portland-communications.com/people/robert-watkinson/ Robert Watkinson], accessed 9 February 2015 </ref>

==Ties to the UK's education reformers==
Portland has numerous lobbying clients that are pushing for reform of education systems that benefit corporate interests. These include, or have recently included:
*[[Google]]
*[[Apple]]
*[[Nesta]], a UK-based 'innovation charity'
*[[Intellect]], now known as [[TechUK]], the IT lobby group in the UK
*[[UKIE]], gaming lobby group
*[[Vodafone]]
*[[Virgin]]
*[[BT]]
*[[New Schools Network]]

Thanks to the lack of lobbying transparency rules in the UK, it is not known which areas of policy Portland was helping these clients with. If, however, it was not education policy, it would have been an opportunity lost. Portland was incredibly well connected to the [[Department for Education]] under reform-minded education secretary [[Michael Gove]].

Portland’s head of campaigns in the three years to the 2010 UK general election was [[James Frayne]]. In early 2011, Gove picked Frayne as his director of communications in an effort to ‘beef up’ his team with some campaigning experience. Gove’s media adviser was another from the lobbying firm. Portland’s alumni also include a then Member of Parliament’s education committee. Since early 2012 Portland has also employed [[James O’Shaughnessy]] part-time, the man who has 'staked his career' on Gove succeeding. Finally, Portland is advised by [[Michael Portillo]], the inspiration behind the [[Policy Exchange]], which has done much to push the education reform agenda in the UK. As the Policy Exchange's first chair and a committed Portillista, Gove expressed his admiration by writing his biography, ''Michael Portillo: The Future of the Right''. It has long since been remaindered. The ideas, however, live on.

This revolving door between Gove’s office and Portland is not evidence of anything. It is merely a structure, but one that could have obviously facilitated communication between Gove and any corporation looking to reshape schools in its own interest.

==Social networks==
Portland is rumoured to host monthly dinners between clients and officials, including at the ‘extortionately expensive’ Haymarket Hotel off Trafalgar Square. [[David Laws]], then education minister, was guest, for example, at a dinner with Portland’s ‘clients and friends’.<ref>Cave & Rowell, ''A Quiet Word: Lobbying, Crony Capitalism, and Broken Politics in Britain'' (page 67), Bodley Head, 2014</ref>

==Background==
''Private Eye'' reported in 2006:
:The knives are out for former Downing Street aide Tim Allan... and they are being wielded by Labour MPs. Although Allan left Number Ten in 2000 to pursue a living in PR after six years as [[Alastair Campbell]]'s deputy, this hardly represented a career change - his influence seems to linger on.

:Allan now runs Portland PR whose clients include [[BSkyB]], for whom he briefly worked. Last December he leaked to New Labour's favourite hack [[Tom Baldwin]] a tape of ''Today'' programme presenter [[John Humphrys]] making unflattering comments about various government ministers at a private business seminar. The resulting media furore was a double coup for Allan since it embarrassed Sky's main rival, the Beeb, and created trouble for Humphrys, a long-time thorn in the side of Allan's friends in Downing Street.

:But Allan was himself the victim of a leak when, in February, documents advising Sky's head of communications [[Matthew Anderson]] on how to ingratiate himself with culture and media minister [[Tessa Jowell]] ended up in the papers (see Eye 1155).

:Allan is also a close friend of pensions minister [[James Purnell]] - they were flatmates and Purnell was best man at Allan's wedding - who was identified in April as the man behind a story in the Guardian accusing [[Gordon Brown]] of trying to oust Tony Blair from power.

:Now Labour backbenchers have started asking awkward questions about how far Allan's schmoozing of Whitehall really goes. In the last month, no fewer than nine questions have been tabled asking ministers 'what meetings officials in the [their] department have had with representatives of the public relations company [[Portland PR]]; what contracts Portland PR has with his Department and agencies for which he has responsibility; and what the nature of the contract is in each case'.

:Most of the responses give nothing away ('The departments for which I am responsible do not maintain central lists of such meetings. Civil servants meet many people as part of the process of policy development and business delivery'), although leader of the House Jack Straw admits that two special advisers working for his predecessor [[Geoff Hoon]] had attended 'a summer garden party on 13 July 2005 hosted by Portland PR'.

:What makes this development interesting is the identity of those tabling the questions, most of whom could never be bracketed in the 'awkward squad'. Leading the charge are key Gordon Brown allies [[Doug Henderson]] and [[Nick Brown]]. It was the latter who asked the prime minister, no less, what dealings his office had had with Portland.

:An answer from Number Ten is still awaited. Allan's company has also been singled out in a Commons motion put down by former government whip [[Fraser Kemp]], deploring Portland's role in preparing propaganda leaflets for [[Asda]] in a bid to persuade its workers to sign away their union negotiating rights. A tribunal fined the supermarket giant £850,000 for its actions, describing the leaflets as 'very hostile to trade unions, and highly disparaging of the process of collective bargaining'.<ref>[http://www.spinwatch.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2812 Portland Stoned] Private Eye, 9 June - 22 June 2006, No 1160</ref>

Hanbury Strategy

2018-04-13T16:46:52Z

Tamasin Cave: /* People */

{{Template:Brexit badge}}
'''Hanbury Strategy''' is a Conservative-led lobbying firm set up by ex-[[David Cameron]] adviser [[Ameet Gill]] and Brexit campaigner and former [[British Bankers' Association]] director, [[Paul Stephenson]] in September 2016.<ref>Sam Burne James, [http://www.prweek.com/article/1408476/vote-leave-pr-lead-camerons-former-strategy-chief-join-forces-new-agency .Vote Leave PR lead and Cameron's former strategy chief form new agency], ''PR Week'', 12 Sept 2016</ref> In June 2017, it hired [[Lizzie Loudon]], former press secretary to the Prime Minister, [[Theresa May]].<ref> [https://www.publicaffairsnews.com/articles/news/hanbury-hires-may%E2%80%99s-ex-press-secretary-partner Hanbury hires May’s ex-press secretary as partner], ''Public Affairs News'', 14 June 2017</ref>

Writing in the ''Sunday Times'' in Sept 2016, the founders say 'on any given issue there are millions who are open to persuasion and that campaigns are the best way to motivate them and lead change'.<ref>[https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/to-win-a-vote-follow-these-simple-rules-7qr0gbrqc To win a vote, follow these simple rules], Sunday Times, 18 September 2016</ref>

==Brexit lobbying==
According to the firm, it will be providing clients 'quite a lot of Brexit intelligence and Brexit insight'.<ref>Sam Burne James,
[http://www.prweek.com/article/1408476/vote-leave-pr-lead-camerons-former-strategy-chief-join-forces-new-agency Vote Leave PR lead and Cameron's former strategy chief form new agency], ''PR Week'', 12 Sept 2016</ref>

It has also been hired by [[Linklaters]] to provide the law firm with policy advice 'in connection with the impact of Brexit on their clients’ businesses'. Another law firm, [[Herbert Smith Freehills]] has also hired Hanbury Strategy to provide clients with Brexit policy advice. [[Herbert Smith Freehills]] is also working with Lord [[Peter Mandelson]]'s firm, [[Global Counsel]] and [[Boston Consulting Group]] on Brexit.

Hanbury met with [[Raoul Ruparel]], advisor to [[David Davis]], Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, on 27 January 2017 to discuss Brexit policy. <ref> Department for Exiting the European Union, [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/department-forexiting-the-european-union-special-advisers-gifts-hospitality-and-meetings-january-to-march-2017 Transparency data DExEU special advisers' media meetings, January to March 2017], Published 30 June 2017, accessed October 2017</ref>

Hanbury's [[Nina Schick]] spoke at the British German Forum 2017, a [[Wilton Park]] conference organised by the [[Foreign and Commonwealth Office]] in July 2017. Schick spoke in a session on 'Navigating Brexit: What does the future hold for the UK and Germany?' Schick was also at an event called France Digitale Day 2017, on behalf of Hanbury. The session was called 'BREXIT: Who are the losers? Views from France and the UK'.

==Clients==
===Secret clients===
Hanbury is secretive about its lobbying clients. It is not signed up to the industry transparency registers, or the UK official register of lobbyists. When it was established, it said it could not name clients it had secured, but the founders said they include a tech start-up based nearby in East London, and a political campaign group.<ref> Sam Burne James, [http://www.prweek.com/article/1408476/vote-leave-pr-lead-camerons-former-strategy-chief-join-forces-new-agency Vote Leave PR lead and Cameron's former strategy chief form new agency], PR Week, 12 Sept 2016</ref>

===Red Tape Initiative===
In May 2017 the [[Red Tape Initiative]] commissioned Hanbury to conduct 'in house research' and create a 'series of reports' that will be 'presented to the RTI in order to better inform its own campaign and supplement their own research efforts'.<ref>[http://www.prweek.com/article/1436432/mays-ex-press-aide-joins-hanbury-strategy-agency-bags-brexit-briefs May's ex-press aide joins Hanbury Strategy as agency bags Brexit briefs], PR Week, 14 June 2017</ref>

According to the [[Advisory Committee on Business Appointments]], which 'approved' the commission, 'throughout the research project, Hanbury will not be working with other organisations and any work done with other organisations by the RTI, will be independent of Hanbury.

Two of Hanbury's employees work for the RTI.

===Campaign of Emmanuel Macron===
In May 2017 the ''Times'' reported that Gill was providing 'secret advice' to the campaign for the French president-elect Emmanuel Macron. Email correspondence and an invoice from Hanbury Strategy were among a cache of hacked documents. It included an email from Mr Gill to Ismael Emelien, the 29- year-old “right-hand man” of Mr Macron, described by Le Monde as an “essential cog in the campaign”. According to the Times, one email 'stressed the need to keep secret the involvement of Mr Gill and Hanbury', with a message from Emelien saying: “Thank you for keeping this top secret — nobody can see other than [two other campaign aides] you and me.”<ref>[https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/former-no-10-adviser-gave-top-secret-advice-to-macron-tnqbfl6ft Cameron aide gave ‘top secret’ advice to Macron], Times, 10 May 2017</ref>
