Today is going to be quite sad because it will be Vince’s last speech to Conference as Leader. He’s been the grown-up of British politics and he’s served us well these past two years. He deserves to be cheered to the rafters for stepping up as he did in 2017.
The Federal Board report at 9:45 is likely to prove controversial. There are some very awkward questions in part thanks to Gareth Epps not being politically restricted any more. He’s making up for lost time.

It was good to hear Vince spend some time speaking about electoral reform and climate change during his leader’s speech. Both are important, overlooked and close to my heart. Perhaps the leadership contest can give equal weight to these topics.
@ Peter Hirst,
Perhaps leadership contenders could express a view on the local Liberal Democrat councillors’ support for a new deep coal mine in Cumbria.
Is it the national Liberal Democrat position that a potential short term job boost is more important than climate change?
