    September 30, 2022

    The Conservative Party head to Birmingham this weekend (2nd-5th October 2022) for the Conservative Party Conference with hopes that an economic crisis doesn’t become a political crisis. For a party with a 71-seat majority, its popularity is plummeting in the polls, and it now faces a renewed Labour Party full of optimism following its own Conference in Liverpool this week.

  • Party Conference Review: Labour rise to the moment in Liverpool

    September 29, 2022

    Labour Party Conference Review The Labour Party has come a long way since its huge defeat in 2019. As recently as last year’s Conference in Brighton, Keir Starmer and the Labour left were engaged in factional struggle, with Corbynite hecklers from the Conference floor marring his first major speech to the country since the pandemic.
