I am back from the Party’s Spring Conference in Gateshead, which for some reason which is probably lost in the midst of time is officially called the Spring Forum.
Both Sue and I really enjoyed it, we had a smooth run up and found our way to the hotel where we had booked in without any difficulty.
The Conference itself was held in the Sage Music Centre in Gateshead which geographically meant that it was on the other side of the River Tyne from where our hotel was on the Newcastle side.
There were sessions featuring all of the principal Shadow Cabinet Members and the Conference finished with a speech from David Cameron which struck exactly the right note. the main focus of the Conference was on the family and the support we will give to families when in Government. We are a Party who care about the family and see the family as the basic building block of society.
