Rachel Reeves takes to the Labour party conference stage today, but hopefully not before she has chance to listen to Ed Balls and George Osborne’s sage advice on how to give a great conference speech. We take a stroll down memory lane and reflect on some of the most rousing speeches in British party conference political history – from the funny to the formative.
Which MPs have tattoos? Ed and George list out the candidates most likely, bu have either of them got a decorative dolphin or butterfly somewhere discreet?!
And does anyone in the Treasury actually read budget representations? Or is it a huge waste of time and effort?

0:29.2 | the autocue it's quite a challenge but in general changing eyesight. It's totally normal, it's very natural, |
