Having a great time at Wellington College with the YBFers, follow TB's tweets here, or on the right hand side. Michael Forsyth's speech last night was excellent and congratulations to Emma Carr, this year's winner of the Eric Forth Award for Activism. Emma has done a wonderful job in the North East region and was quite the media darling of conference. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
Off to listen to Hannan, blogging will be light but follow TB's tweets
"You know, power is an interesting thing. I used to think political power was going to a political dinner. And then I thought political power was helping to put on a political dinner. And then I thought it was being invited to stay at the candidate's hotel in convention city. And then I used to stand in the hall outside of Sam Rayburn's suite at the political convention, and I thought that was something. And then I got to go into the living room of the candidate's suite, and I thought that was something. And then I found out there that all the decisions were made in the back in the bedroom. And finally, I was invited in the bedroom with the last eight or ten fellas, and then I knew I was on the inside -until I finally learned that they stepped into the john. In the end, just me and Jimmy Carter and Hamilton Jordan made the final decision in the john."

Candidate B has been kicked out of office twice, rises from bed at 11am, used opium in college and drinks champagne, brandy, and whiskey to excess every day.
Candidate C is a decorated war hero, vegetarian, doesn't smoke or drink, and hasn't had any extramarital affairs.
Which would you choose? TB will expand in the comments later.
TB is all over the place today sorting out his life, he will however be back tonight and hosting a Live Question Time Chat from 10.30. Come join for the shouting, the hysteria, the laughter, the tears, the fascists and the BNP.
Prediction: Griffin is going to look like the utter plank he is and the "Anti" Fascist authoritarian thugs will do their cause no favour. Also money says we will see this man.
Looking forward to hosting the fun and games tonight. You will be able to sync your twitter account to the chat room, if TB can make that work. Also email him if you fancy moderating.
Bring some beers.
"It seemed incredible that the prime minister should use parliamentary time to congratulate a disgraced home secretary for founding kindergartens when most of us believe this smug professional nag should be in court charged with £100,000 worth of fraud."
You would think that a story starting with "Conservative chairman Eric Pickles will apologise..." is going to be a embarrassing, negative situation. But no, it's just
The question time panel for London Universities that was scheduled to take place tonight has been postponed due to diary clashes.
