Election night event at Royal Festival Hall
Hello all, if you’re stuck for something on election night, you could always come here…
Phillip Blond talks about his controversial book Red Tory and the direction of a new politics. Joining him on election night are broadcaster and entrepreneur Julia Hobsbawm, founder of media networking business Editorial Intelligence and Martin Bright, political commentator and political editor of The Jewish Chronicle. Share your opinions on the future of progressive politics on the site where New Labour celebrated victory in 1997.
They forgot to add my name but I’m meant to be speaking too. Obviously, I’m the star attraction ![]()
I’ve been asked to speak about the future of progressive politics. Not figured out what exactly I’m going to say yet. Thoughts?
The RFH is also showing the results coming in on a big screen with Twitter feeds and all the rest, from 10pm, if you want somewhere lively to go. The second event is free to attend.

The only way forward is to embrace the ideology of the “We Are All Giant Nuclear Fireball Now Party“.

That sounds like fun if the bar stays open.
I’m staying in with David Mitchell, Charlie Brooker and that creepy-eyed little man who looks like he wears eyeliner, thanks.
“Not figured out what exactly I’m going to say yet. Thoughts?”
How about: ‘I don’t know what the hell to talk about because I don’t really have many of my own thoughts. But I’ve blagged myself a position as a British Asian voice even though I hate the colour of my skin.”
Especially during the intermission when people want to buy tubs of ice cream?
This is also going to be an interesting election night venue
