Blogging from Bournemouth

I know Marsha and Jon have been here for a few days already but UNISON conference gets underway in Bournemouth tomorrow. Local government delegates are therefore being joined here this evening by those from health branches. Kate is, of course, spending conference on the platform. Literally, as she hasn't been allocated a single speech, but I will be on the balcony in a strictly unofficial capacity. Its been a while since I attended a unison conference without any official responsibilty so I'm looking forward to it.

I will try to report on the significant decisions and debates over the next four days. And if you are in Bournemouth and fancy a cuppa, get in touch.
