By Anne Milton

1am, later than I intended but always the way it goes, just end up meeting loads of people you havent seen for ages. Fantastic atmosphere here with the mood being very up beat – a general election – just bring it on! Doing 2 fringes tomorrow on mental health and safety in the NHS – late for speech writing but the night is yet young for conference goers! Blackpool giving us a super welcome as ever and sea looks fab. Should be doing this blog tomorrow after NHS speech – everyone, particularly those working in health so angry about Gov interference. Good to be here and getting on with it – wonder how soundly Gordon is sleeping?
