Join the Guardian’s Marina Hyde and John Crace, with the political editor Pippa Crerar, live in London and via the livestream, as they look back on the year in Westminster.

From Suella Braverman’s asylum policy (a “symposium of stupidity”) to the government’s plan to “let Rishi be Rishi” (“the best the UK can be offered is a sort of end-of-country care"), Hyde and Crace have had a front-row seats for the political events of the year. And that’s not to mention the Musk vs Zuckerberg “megarich-weirdo cage fight” story, the coronation of King Charles and Matt Hancock’s Barbie-inspired TikTok video.

This is your chance to hear from some of the Guardian’s best-loved political commentators, as they give their unique takes on the biggest stories of 2023, and to ask them your own questions.

As part of the Guardian’s Black History Month activity, join director and writer Kwame Kwei-Armah for a livestreamed event celebrating the importance of Black British culture.

Best known as the artistic director of the Young Vic, Kwei-Armah has long been a champion for demanding greater diversity in the arts. Join him for an evening that celebrates Blackness within British culture, and explores how we should stop being so diplomatic in our demands for more diversity to secure the future for the next generation of creatives.
