Richard Foord on his first 100 days as an MP

At the start of this summer, Richard Foord was happily working in the academic sector, having retired from the army, enjoying family life in Devon. 

A hundred days on, he has won an historic by-election in Tiverton & Honiton, which helped trigger the downfall of Boris Johnson, and become the Lib Dem spokesperson for Defence as the war in Ukraine rages.

He has seen the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the proclamation of King Charles III. He has witnessed the government acquire a new leader, followed by an immediate economic crash triggered by the mini budget.

Arguably, few new MPs have ever entered parliament at such an historic time.

Richard will be talking about his first 100 days in office, in conversation with East Devon District Council leader and historian, Paul Arnott.

The event is to be held at Axminster's Guildhall on Saturday, October 22 with doors opening at 10.15am for a 10.30am start.

The event is non-political and open to the all. No charge, though contributions to cover hall hire welcome
