What a day at conference day 2 watched an impactful discussion between @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and @carolvorders.bsky.social (got a standing ovation). They were talking truth to power on the control of silicon valley in our politics.

Met with some great members to talk NEC elections next year.

🧵1. They say a week is a long time in politics!

Our team member Cat Arnold getting a mention in this week's New Statesman was rather a surprise! Although she did not use the phrase "stitch-up" at any point - publicly or privately.

Cat voted against the Deputy Leadership timetable, in her words..
