It was great to Chair my first debate of Easter term last night The Durham Union
Nick Hillman, Iain Mansfield, Steph Harris, Sol Gamsu, Justine Mercer UCU President and Sir Philip Augar all gave brilliant speeches.
A special thank you to the Barnard Castle School sixth formers who came to watch!

Delighted to release the The Durham Union's Easter 2024 termcard!
It's been a lot of work from myself and the team - but we've got some brilliant speakers and debates planned, so has all been worth it.
Take a look at the link below:

It was great to interview former Deputy Prime Minister and Lord Chancellor David Lidington for the The Pinsker Centre podcast.
We discussed everything from the state of the Conservative Party to Civil Service reform to David's career.
Check it out below!
A true London legend lost too young. It's deeply saddening to hear about the passing of Ray Lewis.
He delivered an incredible speech at the The Durham Union last year.
My thoughts are with his friends and family at this time.
Listen to me and Policy Fellow Ellie discuss this year's upcoming General Election on People Talk... Politics from the The Pinsker Centre
It was a pleasure to discuss and analyse the future fortunes (and misfortunes) of the government and Labour.
Available on all podcast platforms!
Looking forward to welcoming Iain Mansfield to the The Durham Union for our first debate of Easter Term on Abolishing Tuition Fees on Friday the 26th of April.
It's set to be a great event, open to all Durham University students, so make sure you're there!
I highly recommend that any student interested in current affairs applies to the The Pinsker Centre Policy Fellowship.
As a Policy Fellow, I've got to meet some incredible people, learnt how to write Op-Eds (which have been published) and joined an incredible Fellow community.
It was great to have Justine Greening at the The Durham Union a few weeks ago.
She (as usual) gave a fascinating talk on the history of social mobility in the UK and why socioeconomic inequality is one of the UK's greatest national challenges.
Great to bump into two of our fabulous Durham University students Maria and Matthew from the The Durham Union at #CPC23 !
It was a privilege to be invited to meet
with Karen O’Brien, Durham University Vice-Chancellor, this afternoon on behalf of The Durham Union
Of all the changes we've made at The Durham Union this term, implementing this policy has meant the most to me
