Still time to sign up for Wednesday’s great panel discussion followed by informal networking.

[Chartered Institute of Public Relations @CIPR_Global]

With recent changes in UK leadership, the budget announcement, and shifting political dynamics, it’s more critical than ever for communications professionals to grasp the UK's layered government structure.

At our 2024 Annual Conference, an expert panel of speakers will provide practical guidance on navigating the complexities of regional and national politics. They will offer practical advice for managing these nuances and discuss how to manage bandwidth in a rapidly changing environment, highlighting the skills valued in public affairs teams.

It was good to discuss @LNER’s plans to run additional London to Newcastle trains every hour

This would be a 23% increase in services to match rising demand & increase overall capacity.

As a regular commuter, this extra capacity is much needed!

[David Boot @davidboot_]

Great insight. Framing of lawyer versus law-breaker particularly interesting.

[Philip Collins @PhilipJCollins1]

Keir and Kamala. What they share rhetorically.

EXCL: MPs will be prevented from taking on second jobs that fail to meet new test of putting constituents first, under government plans to “turn the page” on era of sleaze and scandal. My interview with Commons leader Lucy Powell 👇🏼 https://t.co/86lbyzzoul

[UK House of Commons @HouseofCommons]

Reintroducing Central Lobby

It was designed as a meeting place for MPs and members of the Lords, and as a space where MPs can meet their constituents.

It’s the crossroads of the Palace of Westminster: the spot where corridors from the Lords, Commons, and Westminster Hall meet.

28 years ago today:

A disbelieving Wembley fell silent as Stuart Pearce strode towards the penalty spot for the shootout vs Spain.

Six years on, the ghosts of Turin are laid to rest… and the celebration becomes an iconic 90s football moment.

Now is the time to reform our lobbying rules. @CIPR_Global has a few ideas for a new government….

Great to see this. Brilliant work by @CIPR_Global and the lobbying for good lobbying campaign

[Chartered Institute of Public Relations @CIPR_Global]

The CIPR is delighted to see the @LibDems manifesto include a commitment to "strengthen and expand the lobbying register".

We met with their team a few months ago to discuss why lobbying reform is vital as part of their vision to reform politics.
