Summer Chairman's Lunch

Tom Watson, the Lord Watson of Wyre Forest is a British Politician who served as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party from 2015 - 2019 and has been a member of the House of Lords since 2022.

Our guest speaker this year is John Pienaar who has been a regular face on British television for well over twenty five years.  John formerly the BBC's Deputy Political Editor recognisable to television news audiences for his countless hours reporting (in all weathers) outside 10 Downing Street, now hosts the Drive show and the discussion programme Pienaar and Friends on Times Radio.  A seasoned reporter, John is known for his ability to cut through the spin and evasion of political discourse.
