Will Millipede share his experience with open source political policy formation?

Politics is a cruel business!

The leader's speech is known as the "Parliamentary Report" at Labour conferences. It's listed as the last item on Tuesday.

Is Clinton still going? I thought his busy £150 a seat Albert Hall gig procluded his attending Manchester this year?

Far better they bring in Frank Luntz to address the faithful and teach them that "party leadership meltdown catastrophe" actually means "new party direction and steerage challenges".

We'll never forget you Tommy Blair.

Maybe they're playing a NuLab version of "Where's Wally" to amuse Prescott... I mean these conferences are long affairs aren't they. If his mind wanders no woman is safe.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang...

Thomas Fuller said...

I went to the Labour Conference web site and entered "Blair" in the search box. Got this response:

The search facility is currently offline for routine maintenance

Routine maintenace? In the middle of the conference when Brown is on his trotters?

trouserpresscott said...

What? Not a bang at the end of it all?

Bugger that...pass me a pie...

Beat me to it...again!

Remember the last election? Where was Bliar then? It was noticeable how absent he was from election leaflets and TV. They knew they needed to keep him out of sight, but here we are, near 18 months later and he is still there.....

Clooney? I thought he had gone all kind of Jane Fonda on the shermans?
