GORDON BROWN SPEECH: LIVE BLOGGING

A fair Britain for the new age. OK. What does that mean?
Joke about being popular. Stop smiling Gordon. It's not you.
Now ripping off Sarah Palin's speech about why he was elected - for the people stoopid.
Gordon gets angry. He knows the difference between right and wrong.
Talking about his kids now. Trying to get us to see him as human.
The 10p issue stung him. Stung me too. In the pocket. Fair play for bringing it up though.
I think he should stop pausing for applause so often, it's breaking things up too much.
Camera on Miliband. Poor chap.
Uncertain times, we must be, we will be the rock of stability and fairness upon which people can stand. Hmm. OK.
Moral purpose - serving people on middle and modest incomes, we are on your side. Hmm.
Security for all, fair chances for all, fair rules applied to all. Hmm. Fair is new buzz word.
Judgement and values. Labour are pro things. Pro-market party.
Hard work, effort and enterprise. Doesn't sound much fun.
Is it me, or do he keep saying the word "sex"?
Markets cannot deliver it all on their own. Hasn't been to the Bullring indoor and outdoor markets then, you can get bloody everything.
Economy Economy Economy. Financial world to be rebuilt. Lots of meetings. OK.
Hard work, effort and enterprise again. Get the party started.
Rise in global population and rise in need of fuel - end oil dictatorship and something about the climate change. 80% cut in carbon reductions by some far off date. No problem. 1 million new jobs somehow.
The word "fair" again.
Mentions fuel allowance and insulation payments. Tories never did it.
Harry Potter joke. Ha ha.
Tougher choices to make. Value for money from our taxes. Good. OK. Economy again and public spending.
Stop smiling man! We don't need it from you!
"This can be a British Century" OK. What's that?
Economy again. But also about community changes. Anti-social behaviour. Ah! The Law and Order bit!
Now security and dignity for all pensioners.
Children, now. We will be the party of the family.
The word "fair" coming up alot again.
Challange of new times demands progressive government. Yup. This country needs a Laboutr government. Doesn't deserve it though.
Government record now.
Missing Tony Blair. Loved his speeches. He didn't raise his voice and pause for applause at the end of every other sentence.
Personalising Labours achievements, very good. Talking about dads and grans and taking people up the aisle. Very impressive. Finally feel he means it. Big long round of applause. Crowd thought so too.
Fairness is in our DNA.
Soul of our party. Love it!
Big applause again.
New wave of rising social mobility. Develop all the talents of all the people. I'm screwed then. I really have no useful talents.
Hard work, effort and enterprise again. Oh dear, must we?
Harriet Harmon gets a thanks. She seems v pleased.
Ed Miliband gets a mention too! Bless!
John Denham, Ruth Kelly, John Hutton.
Big change - punlic servies: must be unoversal, available but now also personal to each. Investing in children. oooh, what's this? excited! Beverly Hughes, Children's Centres in every area and free nursery care for 3 and 4 yrs old. Now will be taylored to needs of child. Starting in 30 communities, stage by stage, intriduce free nurswry care for 2 year olds. Thought we already had that?
Lifting children out of poverty. 2020 child poverty will be gone. Not if some parents keep spending child benefit on drugs and fags it won't.
Pace of reform ins chools to be kept up. Good.

Crap schools will go. OK
Internet - will fund over extra million families to get on-line,s o can take part in broadband future. What?
NHS staff are thanked. Hopefully not the shit ones I've come across in my time. Big applause and standing ovation. Not entirely sure what for. Must have missed something.
Labour is the party of the NHS.
Personal mission. His eye story again. His eye sight was saved by NHS. Mine too!
Lowest ever waiting times in whole history of NHS. Fuck you Tories!
In April, free helaht check-ups for evey one over 40. That is fantastic. That really is very good. Fuck you Bupa.
Now saying how it is easier to see GP because of longer opening hours. Always had my support that one.
Medical research now. Subject close to my heart. Billion pounds of investment to turn research into treatment and cures. Wow! Love it. Can think of two conditions I'd like him to look at.
From next yr, cancer sufferers will not pay prescription charges. OK.

The word's fair twice.
Heading towards abolishing prescription charges for everyone with long term conditions! WoW! Wow! Wow!
Equality for female pensioners now. Social care. New plans to help people to stay longer n their own homes> Excellent. The fairness older people deserve. Yup!
Our ideas are the ideas that will realise the hopes for a beter future. Have to say, on what he has pledged, would have to agree. There are casues worth fighting for. A future worth fighting for. Agree! Agree!

Tory ruthless strategy. Salesmen.
He's enjoying this.
Tory public spending cuts. £1 billion Labour are giving to the rural poor will be given byt the Tories to the rich estates. More axing stories. Tories will betaking Sure Starts from the children. Our greatest gift to children, they will taek.
Tory policies - have nothing to offer, Tories still prisoners of their past. We know it. Look beneath their surface. The Tories have changed their tune, nit their minds. This country has never been broken by any one or anything. Fascism, Cold War, Terrorism. British people arw great.
