I caught the end of it live this morning and listened to some of the punditry on the BBC. Then they cut to vox pops from the conference venue with predictably sycophantic results. So I’ve not really had time to make up my own mind on the substance of it yet (assuming there is any).

One thing that did stick in my memory was they pulled up a word cloud based on some pollster’s research that had INCOMPETENT in very large letters across its middle. The words surrounding it were hardly more encouraging.
