1400: Welcome to our live blog of Gordon Brown’s conference speech. No sign of the man yet – he’s expected to take to the stage in around ten minutes time. Early word is that his speech is going to be of the “personal vision” rather than the “specific policy annoucement” variety. We can, though, expect some more details on that internet announcement.
Stay tuned, then, for my thoughts, as well as analysis from James and Fraser in the conference hall. Just keep refreshing the page to get the latest.
1410: This just in from Jon Cruddas:
“We await the speech. Meanwhile rumours abound. My favourite- the existence of a Caroline Flint martyrdom video filmed by Hazel on a hand held in a Salford cave. In the hothouse of a conference this is being taken seriously.
Rumour number two: that David M only gave 60% yesterday for fear ‘of doing a Hestletine’- why the PM’s press guy was pushing this one around to the hacks last night is beyond me.
