About this event
Due to the latest restrictions Sajjad Karim has sent his apologies. We are very fortunate to have Professor Colin Talbot join us at short notice, he will be filling us in with the latest from the US elections and what they mean for us in the UK.
As the situation changes by the day or even the hour, what’s happening? Where are we headed? What will our future relationship be with Europe? What can we do individually or as groups to improve communication with our European friends? Our speakers will give their personal perspective, as always with Q&A for you to ask your questions.
Both Sajjad and Richard are well known figures for their work as MEPs and subsequent work promoting understanding of the European Parliament. We are honoured to have them both join us on the same platform.
