About The Truth in Politics Show
The Truth In Politics Show: Join bestselling author Mike Berners-Lee and award-winning journalist Jennifer Nadel for an evening that’s as entertaining as it is unsettling, exploring how political lies have warped our democracy and what it will take to set the record straight.
Drawing on Mike’s latest book, A Climate of Truth: Why We Need It and How to Get It and Jennifer’s campaign to introduce a law banning political deception, the event will expose the machinery of misinformation around and offer hope for how truth can still triumph.
They will be joined on stage by Jessica Townsend, founder of MP Watch, whose grassroots network seeks to hold politicians to account. Expect lively conversation centring on the climate, surprising revelations, and some practical steps to take home with you.
