We previously carried the full text of Nick Clegg’s speech to the Bournemouth conference. Here below is the video of the speech, courtesy of the party’s conference YouTube channel.

I wasn’t in the hall for the speech. I have now had a chance to watch it back. It is an excellent speech, full of passion and realism. I particularly liked the passages when Nick refers to real people, such as the nurse now facing a £2,000 income cut from George Osborne’s recent budget.

The May result was shattering for us all, but Nick offers a credible message of passion and optimism.

@ PM, It can be either. I do remember from my schooldays that the plural in Latin involved replacing the 'um' of a neuter noun by an 'a'. I must have managed...
