You Are Invited!
We're excited to announce that the BPF Annual Dinner will be returning to the iconic backdrop of London's Guildhall on 12 November 2025!
This year’s guest speaker is Ed Balls! Following a distinguished career in frontline politics, including time in Gordon Brown’s Cabinet and as Shadow Chancellor, Ed is now one of the UK’s most recognisable broadcasters. A regular presenter on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, co-host of the Political Currency podcast with George Osborne, and the face of BBC documentaries such as 'Travels in Trumpland', Ed brings a unique blend of insight, experience and humour. With the world changing rapidly, there’s no one better to help us navigate today’s dynamic landscape.
