Event Details

We have organised something very special for our next social event on the 2nd of July.

When speaking to members and voters across Wandsworth, it’s clear that the suffering and courage of the Ukrainian people has moved many deeply. Their fight is not just for their homeland – it’s for the survival of democracy in Europe.

We see headlines every day. But beyond the headlines lies a vital question: how do we help Ukraine secure not just peace, but a just peace – one that doesn’t reward aggression or sacrifice freedom?

To help answer that, we’ve assembled an exceptional panel of voices:

Mike Martin, our MP for Tunbridge Wells, is a member of the Defence Select Committee and the Joint Committee on National Security Strategy, a Senior Fellow at King’s College London, and a former British army officer who served in Afghanistan.

Rosemary Thomas is the Chair of Lib Dem Friends of Ukraine and an expert on Eastern Europe. She formerly served as the British Ambassador to Belarus, FCO Deputy Director for Eastern Europe (advising on Ukraine during the 2014 annexation of Crimea), and Head of Communications and Reporting of the EU Mission to Ukraine (based out of Odesa).

Irina Rapiyi is the Deputy Director of Support Ukraine and has a long association with Battersea.

Our panel will be chaired by Wandsworth Lead Campaigner, Josh Hughes. Together, Josh, Irina, Mike and Rosemary will explore:

What does a just and lasting peace look like for the people of Ukraine?
What does it mean both militarily and in action in parliament for our MPs?
What role can the Wandsworth LibDems play in supporting Ukraine's need for a just peace?

Don’t expect a dry policy debate – we’ve planned a warm, energising evening full of heart, inspiration, and a few unexpected touches to keep things fun.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Liberal Democrats generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through Liberal Democrats, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
