This week is the Oxford Literary Festival & I am honoured to speak at no less than 3 (!) events
First, the immigration debate, tomorrow!
Then, You Ask the Questions at the Sheldonian on Thursday
& Finally - Has the Left's Time Come? on Friday
Would love to see friendly faces :)
The thing is once you have implicitly accepted that your immigration reforms are a horrible unprincipled mess that everyone hates, you cannot try and hold on to random bits of cruelty within them without looking very foolish. And everyone will still hate them. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Tomorrow is sold out, but Thursday's big Question Time-style debate still has seats!!
With Paul Holden, Albie Amankona, Rick Kelsey & Yasmin Alibhai-Brown - I'm nervcous/excited about this one!
At the Sheldonian at 12pm - Hope to see some of you there😊 oxfordliteraryfestival.org/literature-e...
