• Blair on stage So Tony Blair is on stage at the moment and I?m sat in the basement of ippr?s hotel watching him on tv. He's already been heckled and first impression is that he sounds very nervous. from : paulmiller 28th September 2004

He did warm up as he went along but general consensus here it that it was hardly a commanding performance. Meanwhile outside the conference there are a heck of a lot of riot police. from : paulmiller 28th September 2004

Tom as some of you might know is on paternity... from : paulmiller 29th September 2004
