Find out what David Cameron thinks about devolution.See the Tories squirm on coalition talk.Heck! Tune in just to get another glimpse of the effervescent Glyn Davies.Yes, it's the story of the simmering debates the Tories kept miles from the conference floor on the weekend.And you can see it on 18 Doughty Street (if they can read the video format).Cheryl Gillan will be on to respond.9pm (I think)....
Matt Withers suggests that politicians should stay away from the joke books and that young Tory councillors should stay away from the painkillers (Peter Black has commented on the latter story here).
Blamerbell reports on Saturday's conference speeches and the Party's new light bulb obsession. He also states that for all the happy faces in Cardiff a number of vital issues were ignored.
Glyn Davies AM details some of the Tories' after-dinner jokes (the second one re-enforces Matt Withers' point above) and says that Cameron was on fine form.

Welsh Conservative Conference
What a weekend. I haven't been surrounded by so many dreamy Conservatives since my days at Cambridge:)But with the conference closed, the Tory to-do list is still crammed:- agree a position on upgrading the assembly to a Scottish-style parliament- decide whether to commit to PR in local government- work out how to play Plaid Cymru: the only viable coalition partners- hope Westminster approves the manifesto wish list (it's like a letter to Santa Claus says one notable hack)The Conservatives did a very good job of keeping these debates away from the conference hall. But only the fuddiest of delegates would have left without sensing that this was a bit odd.Make no mistake: behind closed doors these debates will take place. The results could make or break their next five...
Having spent the daylight hours at the Tories' big day out, I can confirm that the biggest talking point is still the free light bulbs.William Hague delivered a good speech. But it was about Mirek Topolanek so nobody cared.Francis Maude revealed the Tories' latest Gordon Brown metaphor: 'the big clunking spider at the centre of the Labour web'. (I wonder how many overpaid speech writers it took to come up with that?)And Shadow Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan took a swipe at Rhodri Morgan, the 'Worzel Gummidge of Welsh politics. She also came up with a new nickname for Peter Hain - 'Mr three jobs, one ballroom and an aga Hain'. Can't see that one sticking.Tomorrow: Cameron. After a wet opening day - I arrived damper than a Brynle Williams armpit - let's hope he brings the sunshine with...
