This is positively the last anti LibDem posting for a while, but you have to forgive me. Their conference has been so smug and nauseating I keep having to reach for the sick bag. Here's Norman Lamb's comments to the Guardian on Charles Kennedy's oration (if you can call it that - it was one of the most appallingly delivered leader's speeches I have ever heard)...
"Charles has come of age. There's a self-confidence about the man which is just growing every day. It all goes back to the budget [which he missed]. Yes, that was a wake-up call but ever since then he's just been superb and played a blinder ... I thought the most impressive thing about the speech was that he didn't spend any time slagging off Blair or Howard. It was entirely positive"
I know it's the role of a PPS to grease up to his leader, but I must have been listening to a different speech. Kennedy did little else but slag off Blair and Howard. Yet another example of LibDem hypocrisy.

Indeed, it may have been one of the worst... but not quite as bad as 'the quiet man is getting louder' dross last year. I'm sure Howard will drag on- he needs to get some momentum after the Hartlepool disaster which will take place on Thursday. Forget the sick bag, pass the pillow- I'm feeling sleepy!
I wouldn't pretend that IDS is a great orator, but his delivery is certainly better than CK.
The electorate, as well as your own party, took a different view.
