I am attending the Conservative Party’s Spring Forum in Brighton this weekend. Yesterday there were speeches from (among others) the Party Chairman Eric Pickles, William Hague and Shadow Chancellor George Osborne. There was an excellent session on the NHS.

Today the Conference will be closed with a speech from Party Leader David Cameron. If you are reading in Bury and it is not raining yet then it might be soon – it is raining heavily here and from the forecast I saw yesterday it is moving North!
