The party conference season approaches, with Liberal Democrats gathering in Birmingham, Labour in Liverpool, and Conservatives in Manchester. The conferences will be held in cities that experienced summer riots, bringing controversy and challenges for each party. For the Liberal Democrats, Deputy Leader Councillor Paul Tilsley will introduce Nick Clegg to a city still reeling from the aftermath of the riots, while tensions may arise between coalition government partners over issues like sentencing, evictions, and benefit cuts. Labour must navigate criticism and potential U-turns, while Conservatives face pressure to reconcile their new robust approach on law and order with efforts to modernize and detoxify the party brand.
