In the seventh annual Julian Priestley Lecture, Jonathan Freedland explores how the evolving political landscape under Donald Trump demands a fundamental rethink of the UK´s relationship with Europe. With characteristic insight and clarity, Freedland examines the implications of America´s shifting global role and argues that the UK can no longer rely on traditional transatlantic assumptions. This lecture forms part of a series established in memory of Julian Priestley, former Secretary General of the European Parliament (1997 – 2007), honouring his deep commitment to the European ideal. This event is co-sponsored by the European Movement UK and features a drinks reception hosted by Baroness Royall, Principals of Somerville.
