Harrogate 09: The last word
Well I’ve got to Thursday and I am still writing up the weekend’s events at Conference. Time to knock it on the head.
I broadly agree with what James Graham has written over at Comment is Free about the political impact. No need to say much more. I was impressed with the Leader’s speech. Not only with the content itself but with the implications it has for the message and strategy of the Party. My cautious optimism has become less cautious.
Personally it was a very enjoyable and energising weekend. I have had a rough couple of months so it was restorative to be metaphorically clasped to the bosom of my extended political family. Thank you to all those friends and colleagues, old and new, that I had a chance to catch up with. Hello to all those who I didn’t get a chance to say hi to.
Here is a handy index of all my conference posts:
- In Harrogate for Spring Conference
- Not blogging conference
- Howard Dean at the Liberal Democrat conference
- The Spring Conference education debates: A tale of two rows
- The Leader’s speech: Clegg does an Obama
