In response to the letter sent last week by Mori Tehrani on the recent Conservative Party Conference click here to read, I decided to compare the Labour and Conservative conferences and reply to the letter.

What do you remember from the Labour Party Conference?

I remember the horrible, vile name calling from Angela Rayner.

This year's Conservative Party Conference returns as a hybrid of in-person and online events after last year it was changed to a virtual event due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Boris Johnson addresses the party as its leader for the third time.

I remember during Sir Keir Starmer’s speech the heckling from the Corbynites.

I remember Sir Ian Duncan Smith being hit with a traffic cone by a Labour activist and his wife and friend being hassled by Labour activists.

I didn’t see or hear anything positive from the Labour Party Conference.

If I compare that with the Conservative Party Conference, I saw that as having brilliant speeches from a number of Conservatives.

I saw hope for a great future going forward, and getting back to some normality after 18 months of fighting the virus in a pandemic.

So in my view it was a brilliant conference which I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
