Considering that at least one family in #Piddington are now living in fear of far right violence, Ed Davey was very weak on the issue. #LibDems #BBCLauraK

If that's the best the LibDems can do after this summer's political turbulence then god help them!

Snapshot of the state of the #LibDems at #LDConf www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD4V... Traditionally political party conferences present such reports to their members in this public forum, the contents of which used to be well-reported until the switch to 'US rally-style' events in more recent times.

In the olden days I'm sure BBC Parliament used to broadcast live stream equivalents from annual party political conferences for the three main parties. Why nothing for #LDConf #LibDems? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live... @libdems.org.uk
