"Thank you Conference.
It’s great to be in Liverpool.
Labour Liverpool.
A generation ago a Labour leader came to Conference to condemn the behaviour of a Labour Council in Liverpool.
Today I come to Liverpool, proud to hold our Conference in this great city.
Proud of the work our Labour council is doing.
Conference, it’s been a busy year for me.
There’s one person I want to thank more than any other.
For her love, her support, for her encouragement.
My wife Justine.
Ask me the three most rewarding things I’ve done this year.
Being at the birth of our second son Sam.
Then getting married.
It is 2011 after all.
And starting to tell Daniel, my older son, the stories my Dad used to tell me.
My kids, Daniel and Sam.
A new generation of Miliband brothers.
I know what you’re thinking.
But just to reassure you.
We’re really hoping they become doctors too.
And of course one other big event happened in my life, one that the media was really interested in:
My nose job.
July 27th.
They called it Ed Nose Day.
In case you wondered listening to me, it was a great success.
I had a deviated septum and it needed repositioning.
Typical Labour leader.
He gets elected and everything moves to the centre."
Great start! Thought this might liven things up a bit...!
