Join us for an evening with Simon Hoare MP, one of the most outstanding speakers in British politics today. A big personality in the Commons Tea Room and Smoking Room, the private haunts where only MPs may tread, he's the man colleagues gather round for the best stories and the sharpest wit.
A former government minister, he has represented North Dorset since 2015. Raised in Cardiff and an Oxford history graduate, he ran his own PR firm and spent eleven years as a councillor before entering the Commons, so he knows politics from the doorstep to the despatch box. Simon has seen government up close: as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Home Secretary Sajid Javid, as chair of the Northern Ireland Affairs Select Committee, and as a minister at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities until July 2024.
Known for speaking his mind, he offers rare insight into how decisions are really made. A friend of Jack's but very much from a different wing of the Party's church, don't miss this chance to hear him in person and put your questions to him.
