Delegates sitting Wide shot of unidentified person speaking on conference stage Jo Shaw (Former Lib Dem parliamentary candidate) speech SOT - The party which stood up against 42 day detention, ID cards and the excesses of the war on terror is now lead by those who on this crucial issue employ the same shoddy logic and who have fallen into the same anti-democratic realpolitik as the Blair government.

Therefore I am today resigning from the Liberal Democrat party Lord McNally (Justice Minister) along to podium 'Continuing Our Opposition to the Secret Courts' slogan on screen Lord McNally (Justice Minister) speech SOT - That if we do not have the procedures by which we can examine some of these attacks on the behaviour of our security services, then they will go unchecked, money will be paid in compensation and reputation will be damaged because we will not have had the opportunity to defend the position Audience members putting their hands up in the air (voting) Clegg waving and along to podium Nick Clegg MP (Liberal Democrat Leader) speech SOT - The Conservative Party kind of knows it needs to stay in the centre ground to have any chance of speaking to ordinary people's concerns, at least the leadership seem to, but they just can't manage it no matter how hard they try / they are a bit like a kind of broken shopping trolley, every time you try to push them straight ahead they kind of veer off to the right hand side Back view delegates sitting TILT UP Clegg at podium Clegg gesturing at podium Clegg speech SOT - [on talk of Britain leaving the European Convention on Human Rights] Yesterday Theresa May made a speech arguing that the option of leaving the Convention should remain on the table, well I tell you, it won't be on the Cabinet table so long as I'm sitting around it Clegg shaking hands with unidentified man and raising his hand in the air
