The Union is shocked and grieved to hear that one of our brilliant speakers in Epiphany Term, 2023 has died.

Ray Lewis CBE debated brilliantly at the Meritocracy debate last year. His insight and wit made the event truly special for members and he will be greatly missed.

Thank you to The Durham Union for organising an excellent competition ❤️
