Join us for this talk by Jeremy Hunt in which he will talk about his new book, Can We Be Great Again?: Why a Dangerous World Needs Britain.

Since the global financial crisis, Britain has been through a difficult period, leading many to conclude the country is doomed to inevitable decline. Jeremy Hunt was at the top of government as both Foreign Secretary and Chancellor. In Can We Be Great Again? he rebuts those who think Britain is no longer capable of shaping the world we live in.

Jeremy will be staying for a short while after the event to sign copies of his book which will be available to purchase before and after the event.
