🗣️💚THIS HOUSE BELIEVES DONALD TRUMP IS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY💚🗣️
Kindly sponsored by the UCL Centre on US Politics, we have an incredible panel lined up. This is not one to miss!!
Calling all Comms students! If you're interested in debating, check out @debsocexeter. They have lots of exciting debates, on topics ranging from the monarchy to trade unions🗣️ this is also a great opportunity to improve your public speaking skills!✨
We won. Vote at the start was about 50 for, 50 against and 40 abstained. At the end when they didn’t allow abstentions, it was 58 for the monarchy and 93 for a republic. Really engaged students and interesting comments afterwards.
The University of Exeter #Debating Society's Public Show Debate is free to attend, open to non members and with a fantastic line up of speakers set for this Friday! More details 👇 #Freshers23 https://t.co/FrRgACOlrE
Fantastic to be part of this panel debate on Sustainable and Just Food Transitions in Times of Uncertainty ⬇️
Balancing carbon, food supply, economics & biodiversity is a MASSIVE challenge. Some very interesting points & Qs
Thank you to everyone who attended our panel discussion this evening in collaboration with @GSI_Exeter! Thanks also to our great panelists @ArbitrioHumano, @AbiReader, Guy Singh-Watson @Riverford and @TomPowly. Some great discussions around the food industry and its challenges.
On long train journey back from speaking at Exeter Uni Debating Soc. Lost debate motion (I argued, as an atheist, we should all worry when religious freedom under attack) but cheered by feisty discussions & rows with students at event & bar afterwards. Free Speech alive & kicking
Really enjoyed joining students from the University of Exeter Debating Society last week for a sprited discussion about the future of our country. Thanks to everyone who came along and took part - great to see my old stomping ground doing well!
A massive thank you to the brilliant @JulianGallie, who stood in for me tonight 💙. I am so sorry, and disappointed not to have been able to join the debate @UniofExeter. Traffic out of #Westminster was horrific 🚙🚗🚚, having been in the Chamber, couldn't get there in time ☹️
Great to speak at @debsocexeter last night on the rise of populism. Fantastic panel with @GavinBarwell and @DavidGauke, and thanks to Rob for filling in at short notice on my side!
Above all it was heartening to see the Society and its tradition of free speech thriving.
Great to host @DesmondSwayne and Dr Mario Recker for our debate on Pandemic Restrictions - a success for the Proposition who argued that restrictions caused more harm than good.
