The Next Generation with Hugo Gye

​🕺 Join us for another Next Generation drinks on Tuesday, 2nd December! 💃

​​​​Gossip really is the animus of social interaction (at least for us at the ASI). People trade secrets with one another to grow closer, all the while peering behind the mask of human sensibility from the safety of whispers. It was the great Fran Lebowitz who said that 'polite conversation is rarely either'. So come and grind the rumour mill with us at our next TNG! Bring your best secrets.

​​​​This month, we’re delighted to be joined by Hugo Gye, Political Editor of The i Paper. A veritable heavyweight of the Westminster journalism scene, his muckraking has taken him through institutions like the MailOnline, the Sun, and now The i. He was Chairman of the Parliamentary Lobby Journalists (as his X banner lovingly displays) in 2023. He's here to chat with us about life as a political journalist over wine and gossip; join in!​

​​​​A bit more about these meetings:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​At TNGs, we throw our doors open to Westminster’s finest to enjoy a political discussion over a few glasses of (free) wine. Open to parliamentary staffers, journos, SpAds, consultants, students and even the odd civil servant, TNGs are a place to network, chat, relax and always feature great remarks from our guest speaker. Whatever your politics, we just like interesting ideas and we hope you do too. It’s for under-35s, it’s informal and we normally end up at the Marquis of Granby. ​​​If we reach capacity with RSVPs, we will add you to our waiting list and let you know if a place becomes available.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Please note this event is exclusively for under-35s.
