The Canary LIVE - How did we get in this mess? And what can we do about it?

On the first Friday of every month, AMBI Nights is proud to have its Club residency at the fabulous Cocktail Akademia in the heart of Bromley.Launched on Friday 2 May, AMBI Club Nights are fun, relaxed, safe, and inclusive events where you can be whoever you want to be without the pressure to conform.We’re bringing inclusive LGBTQ+ and allies parties to the London Borough of Bromley for the first time in a decade – and everyone is welcome.The idea of AMBI Club Nights is that they’re not for one particular tribe; you don’t have to look or dress a certain way, and nor do you have worry about travelling into face-and soul-less central London. At AMBI, you get a warm welcome and are in safe hands with Nicola, DJ Kaspa, Steve, and the rest of the AMBI team.We run from 10pm-4am in the basement club, with Cocktail Akademia’s bar serving a huge selection of cocktails, all masterfully served by Evalina and her lovely team.Every AMBI Club Night is a party – and everyone is welcome.

Join us in Bristol for an entertaining evening as <A HREF="http://www.thecanary.co/values/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="The Canary" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Canary</A> goes live for the first time!
Bank bailouts, austerity and the privatisation of the NHS. Brexit, Trump and the rise of the ‘popular’ right. Corbyn, grassroots activism and the Labour coups. How are all these connected? And what can we do to build a society that genuinely works for everyone?
Our speakers from independent media, mainstream politics and higher education will tackle these questions and yours, in a refreshingly open and frank discussion breaking out of social media bubbles and spanning political differences.
The panel discussion will be followed by a question and answer session and a social in the Watershed bar with the speakers and The Canary's editors and journalists.
Speakers:
Kerry-anne Mendoza is co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Canary. She is known for creating one of the UK’s top independent political blogs (Scriptonite Daily), for authoring the best-seller 'Austerity', and for her Middle East reporting (notably Operation Protective Edge from Gaza through the Summer of 2014). Her passions are politics, economics and current affairs, which she examines with the basic question: “How do we build a world that works for everyone?” 
Steven Woolfe MEP is an independent MEP for North West England. He was born in Moss Side, Manchester and went on to study law and become a barrister. After six years with UKIP serving as both economics and migration spokesperson, he left the party in 2016. His background and education have determined a view that inequalities exist where freedom has been suppressed and that powerful groups resist that inexorable desire for freedom, equality and betterment by the refusal to grant or removal of rights or by force. 
Dr Susan Newman is a Senior Economics Lecturer at Bristol Business School, UWE. Her research interests include the political economy of development, the relationship between finance and industrial policy and development, and the financialisation of commodity chains. Susan is a visiting research fellow at the University of Johannesburg, a Visiting Research Fellow at REPOA: Policy Research for Development, Tanzania, Vice Chair of the <A HREF="http://iippe.org/wp/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">International Initiative for Promoting Political Economy</A> and a member of <A HREF="http://reteacheconomics.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Reteaching Economics</A>.
