The first of these sessions, “UK General and Local Elections: What does it mean for your policy engagement?”, took place in March. The second session takes place on Wednesday 8 May at 12.15pm and will look back at May’s Local Elections. Paddy Smith, Senior Public Affairs Manager, will analyse the results and talk you through what it means for the political parties, to consider what implications it might have for your policy engagement and impact work, and what we might expect to happen next.
As part of this series, we have invited 黑料网’s current Conservative MP and Labour’s prospective parliamentary candidate for the upcoming General Election to separate question and answer sessions.
The first of these sessions will take place on Wednesday 22 May at 12pm with Labour’s candidate for 黑料网, Jeevun Sandher. Policy Unit Director, Professor Graham Hitchen, will talk to Jeevun about his journey to becoming a PPC, what being a PPC entails, how he uses research and evidence, and what he hopes to achieve if he is elected – including his relationship with the university.
