Yesterday, Caron ran down eight ways to follow the Brighton conference. As she mentioned, BBC Parliament will be carrying the conference on Monday and Tuesday. You can also watch the live stream on the party’s website here (albeit that the audio and video currently seems a bit out of sync):
* Paul Walter is a Liberal Democrat activist and member of the Liberal Democrat Voice team. He blogs at Liberal Burblings.

The conference has only just started, but the party succeeds in shooting itself in the foot twice in one day.
Firstly:

According to Tim, the Lib Dems won the Mosborough by-election, not because the Lib Dems are the best people to run Sheffield (which they are), but because Momentum activists were telephone-canvassing for Jeremy Corbyn on polling-day.
Secondly:

According to Tim, it is a “wonderful thing” to have people in the party with views like this.
Mr Farron, some advice from a longstanding member: think before you open your mouth.
Why is a sign in required to view this video?
Where did all this stuff about quotas come from on Monday afternoon’s agenda? I hope the Conference has the good sense to reject such nonsense.
