From “Garbled Garbo” - our reporter inside the secure zone at the Labour Conference.

The Metric Minister Speaks

Firstly, the Miliband speech went down extremely well (not on the Youtube Channel yet). There were people crowded around the screens outside the hall as well as people packed inside. There was a real sense of anticipation and and deadly silence as he spoke. No other speaker has managed this - people were really watching in expectation and very pleased with what he had to say. People were really watching him as perhaps the next PM.

Hoon, Balloon, Doon with Broon … maybe

There are rumours flying about, but just rumours for Lawyers sake, that Mr Brown and Geoff Hoon have had a big falling out, possibly with some involvement from Mr Darling. The suggestion is that he has been stirring up trouble behind the scenes and they have had a show down. Expect Hoon to go in the reshuffle and possible open dissent from him in the coming days/weeks.

Debt Reduction

I hear (Radio 5) there’s an anti-ID Card Chappie who didn’t have any ID and couldn’t get in.

A casual pass (whatever that means) was going to cost £600 for the day. Ouch. Less than JK Rowling’s donation, but every little helps I suppose.

More later. Maybe.
