Here’s Monday’s events in the main hall. We have keynote speeches from Daisy Cooper and Welsh Leader Jane Dodds, policy motions on bereavement support, supporting musicians, the Israel Gaza conflict, prisons and international development and a consultation session on the General Election Review. You can find full details in the agenda here. Don’t forget about the Lib Dem Conf app too – available on your app store. If, like me, you are stuck at home, you can watch all the main hall action live here.
