So you've arrived. You head to the Brasserie, then the Terrace. Cocktail? Hmm, don't mind if I do.

You raise your glass to another guest because you both know the holidays just beginning.

And you're only in Terminal 3. Welcome to Virgin Atlantic's unique upper-class clubhouse experience,

Hello, I'm Rory Stewart, and I'd like to tell you about an intelligent squared event I'm

doing with the classicist author and broadcaster Mary Beard. Together we'll be discussing

politics and power from the Caesars to Sunack, who gets to Winpar, who is excluded.

Does power always corrupt, or other examples of leaders who've maintained their integrity while

In person tickets are now sold out, but you can still watch online on the 13th of November

at 7pm BST. Put your questions first live as we discuss power and politics down the ages.
