@LizziCollinge No, I managed to get an earlier train, we’re pulling into Warrington as I type this

I’m sat on the train to London after conference and, honestly, I feel like I’ve been on a four day bender. But the drugs of choice were caffeine and politics instead of y’know, actual drugs.

The fact that there was a terf fringe event is shameful enough, the fact that lgbt+ members are being criticised for picketing that event is even worse.

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Today’s debate has been pretty positive, but kier looks awfully stressed about everything.

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

I have to be honest, the chair is behaving in a way that’s just deplorable

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Composition is getting pretty spicy, so much is happening it’s hard to keep up tbqh

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

The composite meeting is just ending a short break, my phone died and I've only just logged back in on my tablet. I think we've just come to an agreement on which proposed motion to start with.

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

We’ve been in the composition room for 45 minutes already I think? We haven’t decided which motion we’re going to even start with.

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

From one stuffy room with uncomfortable seats to another stuffy room with slightly more comfortable seats, this time compositing! I am hunkering down and preparing for a very, very long night.

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

There are an awful lot of speakers taking liberties with the time restrictions. I appreciate the chair allowing people the chance to resolve their points, but not twice as long as is allotted.

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Some extremely powerful speeches happening in support of the women’s conference motion. I am in awe of these very brave and eloquent people.

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

At least, put a short summary of what we’re voting for on the screens.

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Chanting happening, gone to a card vote much to everyone’s dismay. It is, quite frankly, unnecessary. Some clarification from the chair with regards to the reference backs is desperatelyneeded

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Chaos erupting as confusion spreads through the conference hall. I’ve got to admit, I have no idea what’s happening with these reference backs

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Climate emergency declared for the NHS? Yes please!!!!

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Some absolutely fantastic speeches happening, a lovely feeling in the room, compared to yesterday regarding the cac

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Current debate discussing schools, one composite about abolishing private schools, another about bringing academies back into local democratic control

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Starting this morning downing a red bull on the roof terrace of my Airbnb. Not bad way to start the day

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

I’ve got to be honest, I’m a little confused because of the rushed way these card votes are happening

[Emma Corless 🌹 @TheECorless]

Dawn butler I am in awe of how fantastic you are but also your suit.
