About this Event

Don't miss this rare opportunity to unpick the new British political landscape and ask questions to BBC election guru John Curtice FBA, author and political expert Ben Ansell FBA, and former Executive Director of Policy to the UK Labour Party Claire Ainsley. What happened in the election? Where are we now? And where are we heading in the aftermath of the UK summer election?

You can submit your questions in advance, when you register: they will be at the heart of the conversation.

Join us at the bar from 6pm, with the event beginning at 6.30pm.
