It was reassuring to know that we have some highly talented young people in our party who are no longer back seat passengers, but are speaking far more loudly, more confidently and actually teaching the 'older' ones a thing or two. I think we can see an increasing number of young people at conference and hopefully, with any luck, a fair few wishing to take a leadership role by standing for GPEX positions come Autumn. On the FBU point, yes, it seemed to be something a bit more than it was but, it goes a long way to dispelling some myths about the Green-TU relationship. Whilst we need to do much more in regards to our involvement with TU's, particularly the non-affiliated unions, it was still an important image that a section from a major TU made an important gesture towards the Greens.
