Local News: Politics in Pubs

Frances Tipper writes: “Following the success of the first Mid Bucks Politics in Pubs event held in January 2025 at The Bull in Stoke Mandeville on the extremely topical subject of Donald Trump a week after his inauguration, we are now gearing up for Round 2. Politics in Pubs is a free event open to people of all political persuasions, to attend to discuss and debate the hot political topics of the day. Exactly a week after the inauguration of America’s 47th president on 27 January, The Bull’s back room was packed with people to debate ‘Why did Trump win and what are the implications for the UK?’ People from Haddenham, Princes Risborough, Wendover and Aylesbury all came along to have their say. Everyone had the time to circulate to different tables where team captains facilitated specific areas of discussion to make sure that every voice was heard.

It was an exciting, challenging, warm-hearted, friendly, fun and stimulating evening and we were looked after beautifully by the fantastic staff at The Bull.

The next topic will be even more topical, even more controversial and slightly closer to home: ‘Happy fifth birthday, Brexit. Or is it?’ If you’re interested in politics (and not a politician) and would like to share your thoughts and opinions with others willing to listen, do come along to The Bull on Tuesday 24 and join the debate.”
