This group meets monthly on a Friday from 2pm in local pubs.
The meeting is very informal. The first part of the afternoon often focuses on a particular topic, which members may like to read about in advance; then we have the opportunity to discuss any burning issues of the day. Members suggest topics for discussion and have the opportunity to lead on an issue.
We steer clear of taking sides on Party Politics, respecting everyone's views and focusing on evidence.
Previous topics discussed have included:
- AI
- HS2
- NHS
- House of Lords
- US elections
- Environment
- Climate change
- Crime and justice
- China
- Northern Ireland
- Trade Unions
- Local government
- BBC
