Festival of Debate Does Question Time, with Jackie Weaver

Festival of Debate runs a Question Time-style event platforming local MPs, activists and commentators from South Yorkshire and beyond, answering questions presubmitted to the panel and a selection of comments contributed live on social media.

Trust, accountability and transparency is key to the functioning of any local democracy. This is known more than most by our guest host for the evening, Jackie Weaver (Yes, that one). Jackie Weaver is the meeting clerk from the Cheshire Association of Local Councils who shot to fame after presiding over a chaotic meeting of Handforth Parish Council which went viral.
