IDEA (the ethics centre at Leeds) this year celebrates 20 years since its foundation. To mark this, we will welcome Gavin Esler, journalist, presenter and author to present a public lecture: “Dead Cats, Strategic Lying & Truth Decay”. This will be on the evening of Tuesday 17th June at Cloth Hall Court, Leeds. All are welcome.

Gavin is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster and author. He is best known for presenting the BBC's flagship Newsnight programme. He also spent a number of years as the BBC's Chief North American Correspondent, as well as reporting in other countries. Gavin is the author of five novels and four non-fiction books commenting on politics in the modern world.

Gavin will analyse the state of current politics and truth-telling in the public realm. He has observed that people no longer trust businesses, or politicians, or journalists as much as they used to. Gavin will argue that this is the result of what he calls “the politics of distraction”. He will discuss how a loss of trust and “truth decay” is eating away some of the core principles of democracy in the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere and will suggest how trust - and truth - can be reinforced. This will be based on the findings of his recent book Britain Is Better Than This.
