The Abuse of Power - Theresa May - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The Abuse of Power - Theresa May - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

As Prime Minister for three years and Home Secretary for six years, Theresa May confronted a series of issues in which the abuse of power led to devastating results for individuals and significantly damaged the reputation of, and trust in, public institutions and politicians. From the Hillsborough and Grenfell tragedies, to the Daniel Morgan case and parliamentary scandals, the powerful repeatedly chose to use their power not in the interests of the powerless but to serve themselves or to protect the organisation to which they belonged. The Abuse of Power is a searing exposé of injustice and an impassioned call to exercise power for the greater good. Drawing on examples from domestic and international affairs she was personally involved in at the highest level, including Stop and Search and the Salisbury Poisonings, the former prime minister argues for a radical rethink in how we approach our politics and public life.

Power to the People - Danny Sriskandarajah - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Power to the People - Danny Sriskandarajah - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Power to the People addresses growing voter apathy and disenchantment worldwide - that familiar sense that governments have become decoupled from their constituencies, that votes no longer count, and that politicians and institutions are too focused on short-term issues to grapple with complex global issues such as climate change and rising inequality.The book is structured into two halves, the first half diagnosing problems and the second half proposing solutions . Danny urges readers to make a positive difference through engagement and active citizenry. He calls for reform of outdated Bretton Woods organisations such as the IMF and World Bank, and for greater use of citizens'' assemblies. The proposal contains some fascinating examples of citizen power in action such as Avaaz''s campaign to take down a notoriously corrupt politician in Brazil.From public ownership of social media spaces to democratising share ownership, and from re-energising co-operatives to creating a people''s chamber at the United Nations, this campaigning book has a clear mission to make us reclaim our power as citizens of the world.

Power and the Palace - Valentine Low - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Power and the Palace - Valentine Low - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

When Sir Keir Starmer visited Donald Trump in the White House and produced a letter from King Charles inviting the president for a second state visit, it was a gesture that spoke volumes about the continuing importance of the monarchy for Britain''s international relations. It was also a vivid illustration of the relationship between Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Power and the Palace lifts the lid on the mysterious power dynamic at the heart of the British state: the secretive and little understood relationship between the monarchy and the government. In vivid, page-turning prose, Valentine Low examines the extraordinary political life of Queen Victoria, who exerted her will in a way that no monarch has done since, the effect that had on her son Edward VII, and the turbulent and fascinating political times of George V. We are taken behind the scenes of the wartime meetings between George VI and Winston Churchill (the origin of the weekly audience) and discover how Elizabeth II played a crucial role in modernising - and saving - the monarchy.At the heart of the book are the famous meetings between sovereign and prime minister. Low shows how, from Victoria and Benjamin Disraeli to Elizabeth II and Margaret Thatcher, personal chemistry proved just as important as the constitutional relationship.Based on nearly 100 interviews with senior politicians, top civil servants, royal aides and constitutional experts, Power and the Palace rewrites our understanding of the political power of the monarchy.

The Power Decade - Susan Saunders - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The menopause for many women is a daunting time of change, of unexpected health challenges, of rollercoaster emotions and unprecedented shifts in how we feel physically and emotionally. But we emerge wiser than before, and stronger than we know. For many, the years immediately post-menopause bring other seismic changes too - empty nests, re-evaluated careers, losses and gains as individual as we are. The decade that takes us from our early 50s to early 60s is a time for us to take stock, to power ahead, to decide who we are and how we want to live as we face the future. And the foundation for that, whatever those decisions might be? Our health, physical and mental. The years immediately after the menopause are the most important for a woman's health: the actions we take now will shape and define the rest of our lives. At the same time, we're dealing with everything from falling hormone levels to weakening bones: add in a pervading feeling that we've lost identity and we have a toxic environment in which to grow older. But this is the time to step away from the prevailing narrative of failing faculties and oncoming illness and instead power up to make the changes which will define how we age. From now, for the rest of our lives... Susan talks to experts about all areas of a woman's life and looks at: What's happening in your body post-menopause. What is good nutrition post-menopause? How to exercise post-menopause How to get your mindset on track to create your Power Decade How to get motivated for the best possible health Also included is a practical plan that lays out daily small habits which can have a huge impact - through meals, movement, mindset and motivation - to power through the post-menopausal decade.

The Abuse of Power - Theresa May - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

''I strongly agree with the central message of [the] book...that we need a sense of moral compass in politics...

Power to the People - Danny Sriskandarajah - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Danny Sriskandarajah learned the value of citizenship at a young age as the child of Tamil migrants who moved from Sri Lanka to Australia. Arriving in the UK as the first Rhodes scholar from an Asian immigrant background, he has gone on to run a series of civil society organisations, and has become a leading voice in the third sector. POWER TO THE PEOPLE is his radical manifesto for change designed to inspire citizen action around the world. The book presents a blueprint for how we, as individuals, can make a difference through greater community engagement, and how we can deliver a society that works for the many and not the few. He speaks to voter apathy and a growing sense that elections no longer matter, with politicians and institutions too focused on short-term issues to grapple with complex global problems such as climate change, rising inequality, and digital disruption. Yet the book is also filled with inspiring real-life examples of citizen power in action, ranging from a volunteer-run repair café in Danny''s local suburb to Avaaz''s successful campaigns to tackle endemic corruption in Brazil.From public ownership of social media spaces to democratising share ownership, and from re-energising co-operatives to creating a people''s chamber at the United Nations, this campaigning book has a clear mission to make us reclaim our power as citizens of the world.

Power and the Palace - Valentine Low - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Power and the Palace will examine how the relationship between the sovereign and the country's political leadership has changed over the last 200 years. It will show how even in relatively recent history - the first half of the twentieth century - sovereigns were involved in politics in ways that would be regarded as totally unacceptable now. The stock phrase used by palace advisers today is that the sovereign is 'above politics'. And yet the fascinating thing is that has changed without there ever being any change to the constitution: which, of course, there can't be, because Britain doesn't have a written constitution. Two main threads run through the book. One is how the monarchy gradually ceded political power over the last couple of centuries, culminating in the 2010 Cabinet Office manual, drawn up under Gordon Brown with the assistance of Buckingham Palace, which was basically designed to keep the sovereign out of the decision-making process in the event of a hung Parliament. The other is how the monarchy has fought tooth and nail to make sure its finances have remained secure, from the way it talked the government into allowing the sovereign not to pay income tax for most of the twentieth century to the way it landed a spectacularly good deal for the financing of the royal family under David Cameron in the form of the Sovereign Grant. Successive governments have made sure that the royal wealth remains protected. These two threads share a common theme: they are about ensuring the long-term survival of the monarchy, by keeping the monarchy solvent, but also above criticism.Based on the author's high-level access to both the Palace and 10 Downing Street, the book is full of revelations that will rewrite our understanding of the relationship between the monarchy and the government.
