Just arrived in Manchester for Labour Party Conference. Strictly speaking, our hotel is actually in Salford and a bit of a trek to the main event. We'll head out in a bit and explore our way back into town by tram. Mysteriously, when we arrived, there was some kind of demonstration in the city centre and trams weren't running in this direction. We'll have to see whether that changes later.

But, first thing's first. Conference timetable. Tonight is the London reception at 6pm and a chance to catch up with the one or two people I know and the thousands that Paul knows. And then later it's the Only Party in the Village, LGBT Labour's party somewhere in Canal Street. Ironically, it's no longer the only party in the village (as it genuinely was last year) because having officially kicked off today, there's lots of conference happening already.
