"That was an incredible speech".

They all say it. Every party does it. High on their own hubris and their beliefs. Fair enough.

Party Conference season is over. Now actual politics begins again.

#ConferenceSeason #ConservativePartyConference

'Common-sense Kemi' a laughing stock even at her own shindig - to be eclipsed by the vacuous, excitable #ChrisPhilp takes some doing.The #ConservativePartyConference a charicature of itself.

Ugh! Horrible transphobia alert! #ConservativePartyConference

It's incredible that they feel they can lecture Labour on Prisons and the justice system. #ConservativePartyConference.

It's just another one of the problems they left the country with.

One thing we can do to grow our economy is to renegotiate terms with the EU. Or even rejoin. The Tories cannot face the fact Brexit was a big mistake.

Kemi Badenoch is speaking at the #conservativepartyconference

"There is a fight coming in British politics. A fight that we have not seen for half a century. It will be a battle for the soul of this nation."

No cross-party support on National Social Care, then.

#ConservativePartyConference.

Nope. Sorry. This isn't the politics of hope. It's arrogant. Hubristic. Sneering and Tin-eared.

To be fair, most speeches from multiple parties are just like it. But the contrast to Labours conference last week is stark.

Boris Johnson talked about being in power for a decade, too. #ConservativePartyConference.

There's always a new "battle for the soul of the country" or a "critical moment".

I just find myself waiting for the next one.

Is the country really ready to hear how the Tories think they have the right answers?

To be honest, I think Kemi Badenoch should be honoured. Hers is the only speech from the Conservative Party conference I'm bothering to make time to listen to.

I suspect it's going to be tough because.. well... they're on about "tough love".

#ConservativePartyConference

Kemi: Back to the future!
Corruption
Selfservatism
Food banks
Austerity
Broken housing markets
Broken water markets
Broken energy markets
Mail services in ruin
Schools falling apart
Prisons full
Poor, poorer
Rich, richer
Lies

#AndrewGriffith said he remembers doing his homework by candlelight because of the rolling blackouts.
He was born in 1971. #threedayweek occured '72-74.
He must've been a prodigy or had really strict parents.
