The conference has definitely now begun, and members of the Voice team are beginning to assemble, although transport difficulties, crashing holiday companies and the channel tunnel fire have all contributed to making today a little fraught.
Over in the main hall, Annette Brooke MP is formally opening the conference and kicking off the day’s business, so that gives me a chance to update you on the decisions of the Conf Ctte about how conference will be run.
The Urgent Issues will be
- Polar Ice Caps: Acceleration of Climate Change
- Recession and Rising Energy and Food Prices: Impact on Poverty
There will be a separate vote on the referendums issue of the Give Citizens a Voice in Parliament debate – should we allow referendums or not? And later today a separate vote in the Security paper will determine whether Conference thinks we should remain in Afghanistan or not.
Very shortly, I should be able to bring you a podcast, but technology issues are intervening at the moment.

James has had a haircut! Sorry some lines were dropped from his bill. Well, I’m not really. But a good debate. Finding it very hard to listen to Jenny Willott at the moment . . .
Who is this guy droning on about the Moscow Patriarchate, KGB bishops, etc.?
. . . he didn’t get much applause. None in fact!
I’m sure he means well. 🙂
