Admittedly the Tories were so piss poor someone on stage shitting into a colander would have been an improvement, but even so the Labour conference has been very impressive so far in terms of speeches, speakers and policy.

I just hope Starmer has a banger lined up, or he’s at risk of seeming a damp squib just by not knocking it out of the park.

The endorsement from the former governor of the Bank of England was something of a coup, to put it mildly.

All over the evening bulletins. Sunak must be spitting feathers.

Tories could wheel out that doddery old fool Mervyn King. He was talking to Marr a few months back about how he supports a Brexit that goes to a different school. And a Sir Desmond Glazebrook analysis on Liz Truss.
A former governor of the Bank of England has described the UK's handling of Brexit as a "shambles".
King, who previously advocated for a no deal arrangement with the European Union, added: "If you rule out ‘no deal’ you haven’t got any negotiating position at all."

King was also asked about former Prime Minister Liz Truss's brief period in power.
"I do think we got a bit hysterical," he said. "I can understand to some extent why and that the government appeared to be hell bent on cutting taxes without any proper analysis or framework, jettisoning the way government was being organised.
"I understand that, but I don't think the economic consequences were that bad. And frankly, they've gone away, they've disappeared now. https://www.euronews.com/2023/06/14/for ... a-shambles

Lots of policies that ought to work, and the workers rights stuff is properly good if it survives, but where's the money to get day to day spending where it needs to be?

If "stealth" taxes are due, then fine, and there are good reasons not to announce them in advance. But if not, you won't get the extra money you need through growth. What gives?

Actual protest itself aside, someone should be getting absolutely ripped a new one for that security lapse. It was a harmless stunt for attention. But given the vitriol the Tories have been whipping up, it could have been someone with much more sinister intent.

Agreed. Surely lessons were learned from Theresa May’s P45/Strepsils fiasco?

The afternoon in the hall reopened with the chair telling the floor that Keir gave a speech with "real sparkle".

Security're being a lot more thorough with searches now. There's no way that bloke should've been able to get into the position he got into, let alone for that long.
