We are delighted to announce that leading political commentator Ash Sarkar will be a keynote speaker at this year’s HQN annual conference.

Ash will be joining us at The View in central London on Thursday, 17 July to talk about her powerful new book Minority Rule: Adventures in the Culture War and how the housing crisis has become a focus for genuine political activism.

In her eye-opening book, Ash exposes the forces that disempower and divide us today – highlighting how ‘elites’ like landlords, media barons, hedge fund managers, and CEOs profit from the chaos they create.

Ash delves into the concept of ‘minority rule,’ a term she uses to describe the irrational fear that minorities are out to oppress the majority. Through a detailed exploration, she reveals how the culture wars have been stoked by powerful interests to distract and divide society. You can read more on this here

Ash will discuss all this and more at this year’s HQN annual conference. Don’t miss out, book your place now
