As you will be aware, we have had to suspend our highly successful face-to-face lecture and discussion series but we are trying out a new way of keeping the discussion going using the internet. To start this off we are organising a lecture and discussion on Making Sense of the Crisis led by John Palmer, former European Editor of The Guardian and former Political Director, European Policy Centre in Brussels.

We will use the online video conferencing platform, Zoom, to do this. You don’t need any specialist software on your computer, tablet or phone to join the event. To sign up for the event, please click here.

This will take you to the Eventbrite listing. You then just register for the event for free. Once you have done this we will send you a link by email. All you have to do is to click on that link just before the event to join it. That’s all there is to it!

The event will go from 7.30pm to 9pm on Tuesday 7th April.

Branch members will have priority to register Friday 3th Apr evening, after which other Labour party branches will be circulated as well.

Well attended with discussions and debate.
