I hope those of you who attended our open debate on abortion thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiastic discussion and argument that it provoked! Many thanks to all of you who came along and packed Keynes LT5 beyond capacity, and many thanks to our panelists, Julian Brazier MP and Máireád Enright.

Next week, we’ll be turning our attention to international politics with the motion This House Would Grant Amnesty to Autocrats Who Step Down. Alex Magaisa of Kent’s Law School will be giving a short talk before the debate. This promises to be another excellent event, and we’ll be heading to K-Bar for drinks afterwards, so be sure to come along! As always, we’re hosting the debate in Keynes LT6 on Tuesday at 6pm.

Also, we are heading to our first competitions of the year at the end of this month. We have three teams registered for Bath IV, which is held on the 29th and 30th of October. If you are interested in attending make sure you attend this week’s debate. More details about this soon, but be sure to save the date if you would like to get involved.

Remember, you can only attend competitions if you have signed up for membership.

Kent Debating will also be on CSRfm again on Monday from 7-8pm, tune in for some more excellent debate!

I look forward to seeing you all next week!
