FEARLESS investigative reporter John Sweeney will visit Stourbridge later this month to launch the local Liberal Democrats’ manifesto and share stories from his illustrious career.
On Saturday, March 14, John will unveil the Dudley Liberal Democrats’ manifesto at Katie Fitzgerald’s on Enville Street before taking to the campaign trail with local party members.
At 6pm he will deliver a talk entitled ‘Putin, Panorama and Pints: An Evening with John Sweeney’ at The Duke William on Coventry Street.
John is known for his work with BBC Panorama and The Observer, exposing the inner workings of the Kremlin and the shadowy practices of Scientology.
More recently, he reported from Kyiv during the opening salvos of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022.
As well as being a renowned journalist, John Sweeney is also an author and stood for the Liberal Democrats in the 2024 General Election.
Liberal Democrat Councillor Andrew Tromans, who represents Wollaston and Stourbridge Town, said: “John is a fascinating chap with a storied journalistic career.
"I had a few pints with him at party conference last year and twisted his arm to visit Stourbridge.
"I can’t wait to show off our little town.”
“All are welcome to join us at The Duke where John will be sharing tales on subjects as varied as Putin and Tom Cruise.”
‘Putin, Panorama and Pints: An Evening with John Sweeney’ opens at 6pm and will begin shortly afterwards.
Tickets are available on eventbrite for £6.13, all welcome but over 18s only.
