How much do you care about the forthcoming coronation of King Charles?

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Y12/13: A fantastic overview of how ThinkTanks can influence politics/governments. Some great examples for those essays.

Y12/Y13: A really interesting read regarding the prospect of an English Parliament. Useful for that devolution topic.

[Institute for Government @instituteforgov]

Consensus is emerging about the case for English devolution, but the scale of the challenge needs to be addressed in central government.

Read our latest guest comment from @michaelkenny_ and @jacknewmanHE on how to devolve English government https://t.co/ya2vJBIqoY

Y12/Y13: Some great research here regarding the education/social class of the current and previous cabinets. Notice the stark difference between Labour and Conservative governments. A great example for our representation topic. #education

[The Sutton Trust @suttontrust]

🚨 Private education in the cabinet 🚨

61% of the cabinet attended a private school, our analysis found.

Just 7% of the UK population are privately educated, meaning the cabinet are nearly 9x more likely to have gone to a private school than the general population.

Y12: Another pressure group example for those essays #juststopoil

Y12: Armando is hinting that perhaps this government are making it harder for younger people to vote with the new Voter ID rules. As we know, they are more likely to vote left of centre, and therefore not Conservative. #participation #voterage

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.

Y12/13: Some more Labour policy examples for you courtesy of local MP @Debbie_abrahams #Housing

[Debbie Abrahams @Debbie_abrahams]

Here are three ways Labour will help first time buyers on the housing ladder 👇

Y12: A useful explanation of the #GoodFridayAgreement This could be used alongside our Devolution, Constitution and Referendum topics.

[StickyTrickyLaw @stickytrickylaw]

Marking 25 years since the #Belfast/ #GoodFridayAgreement this week - but what is it?

Here's a simple explanation! 🇮🇪🤝🇬🇧

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Some useful information here for the debate around House of Lords reform. #HoL

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Another example of Labour Policy. This time it’s crime.

[Mr H Geography @ahageog]

I’m running the Buxton Half marathon in May to raise money for @macmillancancer. If you can spare a couple of quid please visit my fundraising page https://t.co/tPEX4l7Gpi Thanks

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Y12: A great example of Labour factions here. Diane is to the left of her party, and can be seen attacking Keir, who is very much towards the centre. #Factions

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

Sunak is responsible for lots of things. But sentencing is the responsibility of the judiciary. You would think a former DPP would know that. Horrible ad.

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

A lot of updates information in this article for your Parties topic. Make a note of what Kier’s Labour Party would include in their manifesto and think about how this fits in with the Labour Party historically.

Y12/13: Yet another case study for that Lobbying topic. This time, Scott Benton MP, is accused of offering the Gambling Industry access to the Government for cash, of course.#lobbying

[Gina Miller @thatginamiller]

Scott Benton is no anomaly – these MP lobbying scandals won't stop without tough new rules | Gina Miller https://t.co/aZaxkixuYC

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Y12/13: Some useful examples in the news regarding Joe Biden not attending the coronation. Those media outlets who are right of centre are calling Biden out (see below). Worth noting that a US President has never attended one.

[Nile Gardiner @NileGardiner]

Joe Biden slammed as one of the ‘laziest US presidents in modern memory’ after Coronation boycott https://t.co/RQhHReFBvu

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Y12/13: Some more Pressure Group activity. You may find this useful for those exam questions #WASPI

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Y12: Here’s something we talked about in class. The Lib Dems are going after soft Conservative seats at the next General Election, rather than Labour ones. #LibDempolicy

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Former @CHSupdates and Government and Politics student @AnitaOkunde tackling the issue of climate change. Her hard work and dedication are a great example of what you can achieve, Y12/13.

[Molly Taylor @iwill_molly]

Fantastic to hear and learn from @AnitaOkunde on a panel about how we can tackle climate change for future generations 🌎

Anita advised that we should all ensure young people are involved in consultations because policies have direct impact on young people ✊🏻💪🏻

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

Another example for our Lobbying topic. Over 170 former ministers/advisors have taken jobs in industries related to their previous post. Questions regarding the ‘revolving door’, and whether some cash in on the contacts they made in public service.

https://t.co/26UMKqzQgl

[Crompton House Politics @CHSGovAndPol]

A great example for our Lobbying topic. £3.5m given to the Conservative Party from a range of high polluting industries, climate change deniers and the fossil fuel industries.
