Is anyone going to the Labour Party Conference this year? I can't make it but it would be interesting to hear from those who do how you get on.

I presume no one is going to the Tory or Lib Dem conferences. We probably have a few Greens on here and I know we have some SNP supporters.

A thread for discussion of the 2019 party conferences and your experiences there. When I was briefly a Lib Dem member during the Kennedy and Campbell eras I did go to one of the party conferences which was OK but even then I could tell the Lib Dems were becoming rubbish. Nick Clegg complaining we had too many laws. Yes, that's the real problem with Britain Nick.

Is it just one long fuckfest or what?

Staffers and think-tank underlings fresh out of redbricks getting sweaty in front of the junior under minister for transport, boffing their flunky in a hostel, avoiding them the next day at the side panel they've found themselves working on together, getting the lunchtime train home full of regret, these things I have seen.

UKIP are managing their usual fuckup even though there's very few of them left. The current leader (forgotten his name already) is boycotting the party conference as only 450 tickets sold.

It's a wonder they managed that many.

They must be really angry with Farage for splitting the right-wing Leave vote (as opposed to Lexiteers and other Leavers)

His name is Dick Braine. Unforgettable name.

Which branch of Nando's is TingeUK holding their conference? Will the staff have to push together two tables to accommodate it?

I think it's just Anna Soubry getting a Deliveroo with three bottles of white for a tenner from Costcutter isn't it?

No idea if these are the same as Change UK or something else.

QuoteOur Independent Group will be at the Plaid Cymru conference (4-5 October in Swansea); and the UKIP conference (20-21 September, Caerleon). They will also be hosting their own Independent Group conference at 18 Smith Square on 8 November 2019.

I miss the days when normal half term telly was suddenly changed to what looked like dull folk on dull stages giving dull speeches, but with different trim colours.

oh, and when they showed the TUC one as well

does Today At Conference on the BBC still have that theme tune with the bells and synth?
