About this Event
Tim Shipman is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist and political editor of The Spectator. With a journalism career spanning nearly three decades, he has broken some of the most consequential stories in modern British politics. In this new event series, Tim Shipman Meets the Party Leaders, he’ll learn the triumphs and setbacks of party leaders, past and present, as well as reveal the behind-the-scenes stories that you won’t hear anywhere else.
For our first interview, we’ll be joined by Kemi Badenoch at a pivotal moment in her leadership – the aftermath of the 7 May local elections. Shipman will get to the heart of Badenoch’s vision for the Conservatives and explore whether her defining policies – abolishing stamp duty, embracing free-market economics and scrapping net zero – are really a winning ticket, as well as asking how she intends to unite a party strained by internal divisions and defections to Reform.
Make an evening of it by upgrading your ticket at the checkout to join us for a drinks reception in the Spectator garden after the event. The Spectator offices are located at 22 Old Queen Street, just a five-minute walk from Church House. The drinks reception will start at 8.30pm.
