The Ambridge Socialist
30th September
Justin Elliott
The Tory Party Conference is being held in Manchester until Wednesday.
Its not really a conference as socialists would understand it- motions, votes and so on. Rather it is a series of platform briefing sessions for those attending plus, most importantly, an opportunity to lobby Ministers and others with power.
Given the potential proximity of Brexit and its possible impact on the farming community who do you think is most likely to be found wandering receptions and fringe meetings at Manchester Central over the next couple of days?
After all David Archer might want to have a word about abattoirs and Justin Elliott a quiet chat about planning controls & housing developments
My spies say they spotted Matt Crawford late at night in one of the bars near conference. Does he count?
