Sojan Joseph MP will deliver the Catholic Union’s next pub talk on Monday 19 January at 6pm. Chaired by Catherine Pepinster, Sojan will talk about his reflections on his first year in Parliament drawing on his background working in the NHS in mental health for 22 years and inclusion in the community. The event is open to all, but booking is essential as spaces will be limited.
Sojan Joseph MP says: “I am not sure that my career in the NHS prepared me for working in Parliament but certainly no two days are the same! I have been remarkably busy representing my constituents and serving on various committees, including the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill as well as Co-Chairing various health related All Party Parliamentary Groups. I look forward to speaking to the Catholic Union about my first year in Parliament”.
The Catholic Union has held a series of pub talks, a very informative way to hear from politicians and policy makers about various issues in a relaxed setting. Recent talks have featured Catherine McKinnell MP, Sir Iain Duncan-Smith MP, Jon Cruddas, Lord Glasman, Andrew Hawkins, Stephen Pound, Andy Keen-Downs and Kate Nightingale.
Catherine Pepinster is a well-known journalist, broadcaster, and author specialising in religion. She was previously executive editor of the Independent on Sunday and edited The Tablet for 13 years.
Catherine Pepinster, Journalist, says: “We are delighted that Sojan has agreed to give our Pub Talk on 19 January. This will be the perfect opportunity to hear first hand about the challenges and opportunities that newly elected MPs have for bringing faith into public life”.
Sojan’s talk, subject to Parliamentary business, will commence at 6pm. All are welcome but booking is essential.
