The final day of conference and the topics are Transport, Health and Education, but everything has been overshadowed by the sinister leak of Ruth Kelly's resignation from Cabinet.
It seems there are people putting themselves first over and above the party. It disgusts me to think back on how and why the party was formed. To see it being pulled apart by a bunch of quasi upper middle class tossers who are wannabe's.
I WANT MY PARTY BACK!!
Alan Johnson MP Health Secretary came over very professional and as a safe pair of hands.
John Denham MP & Ed Balls MP not the greatest of speakers but got their message over well and showcased just how much the party are investing in Education and Training, plus continuing to raise aspirations.
There was also an NHS 60th birthday presentation, where NHS workers spoke. My son had been invited as he works at Salford Royal, but sad to say he couldn't get the time off.
The conference finished with Deputy Leader Harriet Harman MP(groan) giving the final speech.
Whatever you thought about John Prescott as Deputy Leader his closing speech was always a rallying call and very, very entertaining.
Overall I've enjoyed conference. Manchester is an ideal place for it. Politically it has been overshadowed with the leadership issue, but overall a message was put out there, THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO A LABOUR GOVERNMENT. It may get it wrong at times but heaven help this country if it ever elects a Conservative government again, the working man and women, plus the most vulnerable in society don't know what suffering is until you've lived under Tory control.
Next week I will comment on the Tory conference.
Footnote: I'm not laughing at BIG CLUB City getting knocked out of the Carling Cup By Brighton, honest!!
