Ralph Miliband Programme public lecture
Owen Jones, one of the most prominent political voices today, sets out on a journey into the heart of our Establishment, from the lobbies of Westminster to the newsrooms, boardrooms and trading rooms of Fleet Street and the City. Exposing the revolving doors that link these worlds, and the vested interests that bind them together, Jones shows how, in claiming to work on our behalf, the people at the top are doing precisely the opposite. In fact, they represent the biggest threat to our democracy today - and it is time they were challenged.
Owen Jones (@OwenJones84) is a political activist, bestselling author and a weekly columnist for the Guardian. He has over 200,000 Twitter followers and appears regularly in broadcast media, including BBC1's Question Time, ITV's Daybreak, Channel 4 News and BBC 2’s Newsnight. This event marks the publication of Owen's new book, 'The Establishment: And How They Get Away with It'.

This event is free and open to all however a ticket is required, only one ticket per person can be requested. LSE students and staff are able to collect one ticket per person from the New Academic Building SU shop, located on the Kingsway side of the building from 10am on Monday 6 October. These tickets are available on a first come, first serve basis. Members of the public, LSE alumni, LSE students and LSE staff can request one ticket via the online ticket request form which will be live on the listing on www.lse.ac.uk/events from around 6pm on Monday 6 October until at least 12noon on Tuesday 7 October. If at 12noon we have received more requests than there are tickets available, the line will be closed, and tickets will be allocated on a random basis to those requests received. If we have received fewer requests than tickets available, the ticket line will stay open until all tickets have been allocated. Please note, we cannot control exactly when the ticket line will upload, and publishing delays do sometimes occur. As the system now allows requests to be made over a long period of time, if when you visit this page the ticket line is not live, we would advise revisiting the page at a later time.
