Lunch with Lord Kinnock
Wednesday 24th September | 12.00 for 12.30 | Drawing Room | £65.00
In 1992, Lord Kinnock was widely expected to be the next Prime Minister for Britain and Northern Ireland. Defeat in the General Election by John Major meant he never reached No. 10 Downing Street. At the same time, as longest serving Leader of the Opposition in modern UK political history, and a key figure in Labour Party policy for now over 40 years, he is uniquely placed to consider the current political landscape and the challenges of Government that a Labour Prime Minster will always face.
For context to our political world and a look at the future (based on the past) join Lord Kinnock for a salon-style lunch, where he will review a lifetime in politics and his part in the past, present, and future. Also considered will be the pressures of public life and the challenges all parties face in best managing our economy both to for the greater good and individual benefit.
Kinnock showed himself in July with television and wider media appearances on air waves to consider a wealth tax that he still boasts influence to shape policy and public opinion. Whatever your political allegiance, lunch with Neil Kinnock is sure to provide a thought-provoking consideration of events past, present, and indeed the future based on decades at the heart of politics in the UK.
