Afternoon peeps

I think I read that the LD conference is a "closed conference" which I took to mean no media. I'm sure it will all be leaked out later anyway though.

Have added a few of you on twitter, I am katiepougher

Right off to get ds2 for his nap and clean the bathroom (exciting Sunday)

Good piece from carole cadwalladr about the lack of women in politics and Osborne's qualifications (not) to be chancellor.

I find it baffling. Friendship, surely, is not that important, so "friendship", here, must mean something else? Something about close ally for that turn centrewards, necessary if they perceive the right of the party to still be very powerful. Still, find his presence baffling.

Am "Eeek" at how quickly "immigration" and "benefit-envy" have moved to dominate political discourse.

All raises the question "Why George Osborne?" He runs a campaign that doesn't deliver a majority, he's inexperienced, ... . Why George Osborne? Is it because he's not Ken Clarke (pro-Europe?).

Hello comrades, just checking in. It does seem reasonable to think that for many LibDems the coalition will be very difficult. I cannot see this lasting anything like 5 years - I hope things work out ok for the LibDems.

Labour have to be clever and strategic, especially in choice of leader and communicating of party direction.

Probably on one of those obsure channels that you see on freeserve/sky. Will not be watching either.

His older brother is now disowning the remark. Probably sensing the sinking LD ship
