Our Honoured Guests

When you have three of the country's best speakers in the same room, it's guaranteed that you're in for an amazing, informative and entertaining evening. That was exactly what the capacity audience got that evening. The fact that we overran our time slightly shows just how enjoyable the evening was.

Matt Goodwin, David Starkey and Mark Littlewood graced the Sherwood Suite at Eastleigh Football Club. Two hundred members and supporters packed out the venue to listen to and ask questions of the speakers.

All in all, a successful event that reflects the growing energy, passion and determination of not only Reform UK Southampton who hosted the event, but Reform UK across the county.

Our opponents should realise by now that we are not here to make the numbers up. We're here to win.

Make a note of that in your schedule.
