Was great to attend the John Smith Memorial Lecture at Cadogan Hall tonight given by Gordon Brown with Lord Kinnock and Baroness Catherine Smith. It has inspired me a great deal.

Family outing tonight to the beautiful Cadogan Hall to hear from Gordon Brown who was the speaker for the John Smith Centre Memorial Lecture. A really inspiring speech - and lots of food for thought about some of the challenges we face globally.
