About this Event

Keir Starmer's Premiership
An Afternoon of Discussion

Join us in person for a relaxed and engaging chat about Keir Starmer’s Premiership.

Whether you're curious, passionate, or just want to hear different perspectives, this afternoon is all about open conversation and fresh insights.

Both speakers have a huge amount to offer.

Mark has edited books about Blair, Corbyn and Starmer which have on each occasion drawn togther a stella cast of authors. John McTernan is a political strategist and regular TV pundit. His CV includes a stint as Tony Blair's Director of Political Operations.

The speakers originate from different political places within the Labour Party but they are both known for their thought provoking contibutions within what should be Labour's pluralistic broad church.

There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions and at half time we will have tea and cakes (included in the price).

All welcome.

ALL MONEY RAISED WILL GO TO LABOUR'S MAY COUNCIL ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

LET'S KEEP REFORM OUT OF COLCHESTER!
