Thousands head to the Liberal Democrat Conference

3.46.24pm BST (GMT +0100) Fri 16th Sep 2005

Thousands of Liberal Democrats, including me, have today headed up to Blackpool for the Liberal Democrat Conference. A number of members from Walsall will be attending. The Conference is the first since the General Election so there will be many new MP's at the Conference as well.

The Conference goes on until Thursday and much of it will be shown on BBC television as well as covered on the radio and in the newspapers.
