The first 24 hours of the Labour conference are a haze. Oh that’s Bridget Phillipson, oh and Mary Bousted. Here’s Natalie Perera. And that woman presents something on TV. Oooo there’s Andrew Marr, you definitely know who he is. There’s Stephen Morgan and, wow, there’s Ed Dorrell, quite a big name on edu-twitter I think. Wait. You work with Ed Dorrell. You see him every day – get it together, Reza.
Right, time for some fringes. What are fringes? Why are they called fringes? Should I have done my hair differently to attend? Obviously not, Reza. Focus on the things that matter.
You’re in. Some interesting discussions to be fair. You’ve heard Bridget Phillipson, Stephen Morgan and Toby Perkins now – all very assured, very calm. It’s almost like they’re already in post, behaving more ministerially than some of their opposite numbers, if we’re honest.
