Labour And Capital: Afren's remuneration: a long-term problem
http://labourandcapital.blogspot.com/2015/06/afrens-remuneration-long-term-problem.html
Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Friday, 26 June 2015. Afren's remuneration: a long-term problem. A few years back, when I was blogging more regularly, Afren was one of the companies I always used to keep an eye on. This was because it clearly had some governance challenges, not least in respect of directors' pay. As far as I am aware it remains the only PLC to have lost the vote on its rem report twice. The first was a narrow defeat in 2011. I work at the Internatio...

Labour And Capital: July 2015
http://labourandcapital.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Tuesday, 14 July 2015. I've had a response from the FRC, which has been in touch with the company. Apparently the company "confirms" that it has not made any donations since 2010. However, as of today the two donations are still on the Electoral Commission website and attributed to Caledonia, so I've been in touch with the Commission, who in turn say they are talking to the Conservative Party. Tuesday, 7 July 2015. The trait of hyperb...

Let's take a detour into Capital P Politics for a minute. Lord Ashcroft (yes, him) has become a source of very useful polling. Not only has he undertaken constituency-level polling in addition to national polls, he has also done some really interesting research on salience. This recent piece.

Labour And Capital: One thing it isn't is 1997
http://labourandcapital.blogspot.com/2010/05/one-thing-it-isnt-is-1997.html
Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Friday, 7 May 2010. One thing it isn't is 1997. Clearly no landslide for the Tories. No majority. No Portillo moment. No seats gained in Scotland (where they have one) and still way behind Labour in Wales. They look like they will get between 36% and 37% of the vote - good but certainly not a 1997 style mandate for change. PS Seen two Tories this morning inexplicably try to claim that this result is.

Either an idiot. or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning". Tuesday, 30 June 2015. There is a very good piece. By Anthony Hilton in the Standard today taking a swing at the mainstream corp gov approach to executive pay.

Her spokesman said her award was entirely in line with the share price and earnings targets set by Thomas Cook and that Ms Green fully e...
