Labour party conference, is no-one else interested?

Ilovecheese

BBC journalist still banging on about Angela Rayner 's words.

Yes and that's why she needs to learn to moderate her language, she should want people to focus on what she says not how she says it. I've heard her speak on the radio a couple of times in the past few days and thought she spoke well. Despite what people have said on another thread, we don't all want posh boys with plums in their mouth but a little gravitas does go a long way especially when it's mixed up with some sensible plain speaking. She may not have apologised but I for one, hope she's learned a lesson.

I liked the bits about giving children access to music and encouraging education in the arts, which is so important to our economy.

Whitewave. Spot on.

Just obeying orders from Conservative Headquarters

He is the sort of character that you would trust your children and aged parents with with complete confidence.

Lots of praise from commentators on twitter. Especially journalists.

Conference seemed very happy.

I thought he covered key points well. And handled the hecklers very competently.

Good speech

I thought that was a very good speech.
Anniebach anything positive to say?

Do do do do

Omg how can anyone diss the housemartins
are you quite mad?!

Kandinsky, it's surprising what teachers use as a stimulus. I used to use French pop songs, comics and magazines for comprehension. Makes a change. There's room for a variety .
Good speech.

The far left waved their red cards

Just that Whitewave.

A speech of integrity, values and full of policy.

You’re right westendgirl, I really need to listen to the entire speech before I comment. It just made a laugh as Fat Boy Slim is hardly Beethoven or Mozart ( even though I loved FBS back in the day )

Kandinsky

I get the feeling, that as hard as he tries, people just aren’t warming to Kier Starmer like they should - or were supposed to.
I find him very dull.

Dull? We have had enough of the opposite- and see what that achieves.

Give me dull, intelligent, experienced, knowledgeable, fair, balanced and more, any day.

Just like you MayBe70 I find the behaviour from the 'left' disgusting and abominable- and they will destroy the Party, never mind Starmer. And what will that achieve. Failure and failure forever to be in Opposition and actually bring some hope and prosperity to this wonderful Country and its people.

Kandinsky, if you were listening to the speech you know why the comment about music lessons with Fat Boy Slim was there. You have taken it completely out of context to add your sarcastic comment. Kier Starmer was actually talking at that point about music being taught again in schools , together with drama and other subjects removed from the curriculum.

I am watching him now. He is very boring, but I think it is his voice. I don't think many women will vote for him because of his attitude to Trans people.

I had music lessons with Fat Boy Slim

Our future is safe.

I agree that he isn't perhaps an inspiring speaker, but I will settle for dull if charisma gives us Johnson and his lies.

Do you find his vision for the future of this country dull, too?

Listening to Starmer at the moment. Good speech, covering many topics. The disrupters were put down firmly.He is getting good support from the majority of conference goers.

Johnson and his pals must be laughing their heads off
