Brighton Rocks!
Some idle musings from the Liberal Democrat Party Conference.
It's good to be back! This is my first party conference for 23 years, in fact my first Liberal Democrat one, the last one was a Liberal Party Assembly. Everything is bigger and shinier now. Better organised, more professional. Speakers appear on a giant video screen. There are so many fringe meetings it would take 6 months to attend them all. There are numerous training sessions on everything from snap general elections to taking better photos for Focus. The best thing hasn't changed though - the opportunity to spend a few days with other Lib Dems plotting to make the world a better place.
Sandi Toksvig's Q&A session with Ming yesterday was a highlight, a nice combination of wit and wisdom. Now it's time to plunge into conference again.......................
