The event will be introduced by the writer, Gyles Brandreth, who is Honorary Chair of the Foundation.

Reflecting on an increasingly troubled international and domestic scene, Sir John will focus his remarks on 'The Changing Political Landscape at Home and Abroad: A Reality Check'. This will be followed by an 'in conversation' with the distinguished broadcaster, Angela Rippon, who will subsequently invite questions from the floor.

Sir John Major was British Prime Minister from 1990 to 1997, having previously served as Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer.
