Barry Gardiner
(Picture: REUTERS)Welcome to the first Londoner’s Diary of the week. First, we are at Tory Conference, where Labour’s Barry Gardiner went to a Tory event and lobbies MPs. Also in Manchester: our take on the BBC’s tightrope - reporting on Conference while keeping the Government onside. And, the Tory faithful’s take on Rishi Sunak and tax, and an impromptu rendition of Rule, Britannia. Away from Conference, the Southbank’s Jude Kelly talks opportunities for women. And a round of parties from Paris fashion week and elsewhere.
