They either only invited double-digits of people (including, as noted, some who actually are quite antagonistic) to hear the Big Names give policy speeches (and, if so, why?) or they invited a lot more people and only 56 turned up, half of whom didn’t hang around for more than the headliner. Either way, it’s poor.

And just goes to show that the right in the party have had no connect with members/activists for many years; it's just that all those hundreds of millions from Sainsbury and a welcoming billionaire press amplify the impression that they are Labour.

It was pretty easy to get an invite. I think you originally had to pay 25 quid and then it was reduced to 5 quid of something because no one could be arsed.
Meanwhile, Kieth's advisors must really really hate him

Seem to remember Owen Smith going on about drinking so many beers he lost track of the football scores ...
"In the first episode, we see sir kieth and his spods getting so mashed on Kaliber and baked crisps that they misread the text updates and think England have won the European Championship. Sir kieth does the dance".

Owen Smith spent a large amount of time discussing the size of his cock. Perhaps Kieth will go down that route.

'After the second episode aired, sir kieth was forced to apologise for a series of off colour remarks about Brexit specific powers of derogation. He put it down to bantz and said the people he nearly talked to on the Hartlepool seafront would understand'.

Um aspirational is a real word. There's so much shit about them as you show in the remainder of your post that there's no need to make up stuff to damn them for“We know we have shared values, but we need to explore exactly what they are.” – Henna Shah
“Moving forward in life really is most people’s focus.” – Peter Kyle
“We are very sincere about what we believe in. But we don’t pay sufficient scrutiny to why we’re losing. We too often define what Labour isn’t, not what it is.” – Jon Cruddas
“We need to sell a positive vision of Britain’s future rooted in the reality that people can accept. We need to get this clarity right centrally.” – Peter Kyle
Peter Mandelson said “[there is] a need for a truly national UK party with aspirational voices.” “Aspirational” is not a real word. He continued:
“What progressives believe is that it is time for change. Time to turn defeat into a catalyst. It is not our leader that needs changing, but our party that needs to change. Keir must go further faster. People are looking for instrumentality from Labour.”
On Scotland Jackie Baillie said “we need to offer people hope and empathy that demonstrates we are on their side” and Russel Gunson said “Scotland wants to be a place of big ideas.”
I didn’t select the quotes above. They are quotes that organisers of the conference chose as highlights.

Strangely enough, I did not write it. Hence the link to the blog post that I did not write.

Yeh. You might use the quote function in future to make it plain they're not your words. But if you continue in the same vein why not simply edit out such infelicities?

Not something I have the desire to get into a tedious debate about with you to be honest but as a gesture of good will, I have put it into quotes.
This has the makings to be the biggest car crash in TV history.
