POLITICAL heavyweights Caroline Lucas and Vince Cable are to speak at the latest meeting of Compass South West Surrey in Godalming next week.

The Green Party co-leader and former Lib Dem cabinet minister will discuss the future of ‘progressive’ politics, bringing together members of Labour, the Lib Dems, the Greens and people from no political party seeking an alternative to “the dominant force of right wing politics in the locality”.

All are welcome to attend the meeting, on Wednesday, October 5, from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at Godalming United Church in Bridge Road, and tickets are available for £10 (concessions available) online at tinyurl.com/C0mp455-GUC .
