Hi Stephen…

With ordinary tickets priced at £400 and VIP tickets with ‘priority seating’ going for £750, the night promises to raise a significant amount of money for the think tank.

What’s the source for this?

The partisan nature of the Atlantic Bridge think tank is in fact one of the leading stories of the day! Lets see what the investigation says. If they are in breach of their charitable requirements they'll have to change their structure. It's happened before to other think tanks, it'll happen again. It's a perfectly reasonable thing for people to get upset about. Personally, I couldn't give two hoots - but then I didn't give two hoots about the Smith Institute either, making me an equal-opportunities non-hoot giver.
