Ukraine in Focus: A Conversation on War, Peace, and the Future

  • 02 Jul 2025
  • 7.00 pm - 9.30 pm

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 OBE 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.

A Conversation on War, Peace, and the Future of Ukraine

Ukraine in Focus: A conversation on War, Peace, and the Future

A panel discussion with Dr Mike Martin MP, Rosemary Thomas OBE, and Irina Rapiyi

  •  Date: 2nd July 2025
  •  Time: 7 pm for 7:30 start
  •  Location: TBC (Near Clapham Junction Station)

Tickets include:

  • Entry to the event
  • A donation to the Support Ukraine charity
  • A drink and nibbles
  • A chance to show solidarity to Ukraine, and be part of something meaningful – and memorable

Come for a great evening to show support for the people of Ukraine and see how we can work together to make a difference to their future.

Tickets for this event are likely to sell fast. Book yours today to avoid disappointment.

Liberal Drinks

A regular meet-up on the second Wednesday of every month for Liberal Democrat members, supporters and the Lib Dem curious in the Folkestone and Hythe area!

Simply come along for a social drink and a chat: no speeches, no leaflet delivery. It's a "buy your own" event (sorry!) but come along and say hello to our Councillors, campaigners, members and friends.

The Royal Norfolk Hotel is on Sandgate High Street - there is free parking from 6pm at Castle Road Car Park in Sandgate which is one minute walk away and often on street parking in Castle Road (behind the hotel) as well.

Forum at

Stratford-upon-Avon Town Hall (CV37 6EJ) on
Thursday July 10th, 7:30am to 9:30am

Over the past few years, businesses of all sizes have faced

a series of tough challenges, from the economic uncertainty of Brexit and the

COVID-19 pandemic, to inflation, rising energy costs, and now the pressures of

the rise in employers’ national insurance contributions. I know how hard many

of you have worked to keep your businesses running and your teams supported

through it all.

 

This forum is an opportunity for members of the local

business community to come together to discuss these issues, share experiences,

and look ahead. I’ll be joined by a panel of local experts from the world of

business and local government, who will help lead the conversation and respond

to your questions and ideas.

This is a free event, and coffee, croissants

& pastries will be provided.


Pick a Ward & Call It

Join us for our fun, sales-style call centre night – inspired by ALDC’s popular guide, Pick a Ward and Win It.

We’ll be hitting the phones together to activate new volunteers and recruit fresh members to the party. It’s a brilliant way to make a real impact in just a couple of hours, alongside like-minded volunteers and the team.

Drinks and snacks will be on hand to keep everyone going, and you’re welcome to drop in any time from 5:30pm.

RSVP today to let us know you’re coming and add it to your diary!
