Peter is happy to answer questions from the audience. Please submit your questions to this email address:

Join us as we take a deep-dive into a range of fascinating foreign affairs themes. 

What is left of the 'special relationship'? What's the Liberal Democrat view of the UK's role on the international stage? And what path should Britain take in an uncertain world?

Tickets are just £20 for adults, and £5 for students. 

This event will take place on Thursday 4th June from 7:30pm at The WI Hall, The Street, Crookham Village, GU51 5SJ. We hope you can join us!

On Saturday Afternoon 6th June 2026 we are holding an Open Garden in the beautiful Pednor valley, near Chesham.

A country garden of over 1.5 acres, planted with a wide range of herbaceous perennials, roses, shrubs and trees to ensure continuous interest throughout the seasons.

June is its peak flowering month, when campanula, lady’s mantle, nepeta, peonies, phlox, roses and salvia flourish in a traditional country garden style, with colours woven through shades of purple, pink, blue and soft lemon. Sweeping lawns surround the house, edged by deep, curving borders that enjoy both sunny and shady aspects.

A wildlife pond, old orchard, small vegetable garden and greenhouse add further charm and variety to this inviting garden.

Please note that no dogs are allowed in the gardens.

Ticket price: £10 in advance, children under 12 free.

All are welcome.

Warwick District Lib Dems are delighted to be joined by Calum Miller, MP for Bicester and Woodstock and Foreign Affairs Spokesperson.

This year's Spring Conference featured a motion "Trump and the Wider World", which stated "Conference is deeply alarmed by President Trump’s systematic violations of the rules-based international order and ongoing interference in British and European politics". Calum introduced the motion, which was carried overwhelmingly.

Join us for what promises to be a lively discussion on how our foreign policy can cope with Trump's wars of words with Canada and Greenland, the kidnapping of the President of Venezuela, his war with Iran and of course, his relationships with President Putin and Prime Minister Netanyahu. The topic of Europe may well come up too.

Before entering parliament, Calum was COO for Oxford University's Blavatnik School of Government and before that he worked for the Civil Service for 13 years, including working as Principle Private Secretary to Nick Clegg from 2010 to 2012.
