Welcome to the latest edition of our occasional LDV feature, YouTube ‘cos we want to, featuring some of the most memorable political moments from the past week (or so).

First up, in tribute to the triumph of this week’s Labour party conference in Brighton, let’s enjoy in all its 11 seconds of glory, Gordon’s huff with Sky’s Adam Boulton after a particularly feisty interview:

Hat-tip: Paul Waugh. You can enjoy the full interview here.

Second’s up … for many the highlight of Lib Dem conference was meeting Richard Dawkins, while for others it was hearing his declaration that, though not a member, he has voted for the party in every election since it was founded. So here for your delectation is his 5-minute speech to the conference hall:

And finally, all hail Ed Fordham, Lib Dem parliamentary candidate for Hampstead and Kilburn, for cutting down to size live on BBC Radio 5 Live a Tory ex-councillor posing as an ordinary ‘Joe the Plumber’ who isn’t too keen on the Lib Dems:

Hat-tip: Liberal Vision.
