@wood5y Reminds one of "Ten Trot Factions Meeting In A Hall" (LibDem Glee song to, obviously the tune of Ten Green Bottles - like most #ldconf #glee songs it's not that easy to find the lyrics online).
@ReggieHere "A version of the lyrics sung regularly at the Liberal Democrats' Glee Club, also dated to the mid-1960s, is:
The people's flag is palest pink,
It's not as red as most folk think.
We must not let the people know
What socialists thought long ago.
Don't let the scarlet banner float;
We want the middle classes' vote.
Let our old fashioned comrades sneer,
We'll stay in power for many a year."
This morning I summated the amendment from Enfield Liberal Democrats on the public transport motion at the Liberal Democrats' Conference, continuing my now long tradition of speaking for amendments which then go on to be rejected by voting members ๐
URGENT: For those attending #LDConf we have just learned of a likely attempt by transphobic activists to hijack the conference agenda by suspending standing orders first thing tomorrow morning at 9am. If you're going to conference please turn up to oppose this.

@lowqualityfacts The way the Liberator Songbook does this is to move the songs around to different pages each year (OK, so there are a couple of new ones each year as well).
So when the compรจre at #LDConf #glee calls out the page number of the next song, those who haven't bought this year's edition are left scrabbling around trying to find which page it's on in their old copy, which might take them until say halfway through the first verse.
Kylie, Scissor Sisters, Dua Lipa, and #LDConf โ it looks like the first half of 2025 will be packed with lots of fun, singing, and dancing! ๐บ๐ป
As #LDConf comes to an end I've had a great time: attended training to help grow our team back in Manchester, as well as delivered some on writing Focus that people found useful! I summated on an amendment our local party proposed and got them passed and caught up with lots of colleagues from across the country, and celebrated our best ever general election result (and I hear Manchester Central's innovative recruitment techniques in the GE got a call out in the election review session). Important discussions were had on taking on Labour now they're in government, and it was heartening to see such support for trans rights despite the presence of a group who legally bullied their way in and oppose our core party principle of freedom from conformity. Thank you all :)
glad to help pass motion supporting grassroots live music venues and savvy music education at #LDConf

Biggest non-controversy: #LDConf says trans rights
Listening to the Sunak V Starmer #GeneralElection debate on @BBCRadio4 and OH MY GOD please will somebody give Miishal Husain a mute button? The both of them are SO RUDE, talking over her and each other.
Turn their bloody mics off. It works wonders when I do it to people (including MPs) at #LDconf
