The Liberal Democrat conference continued today with the delegates unanimously voting celebrity Gary Wilmot the party’s first Panto spokesperson ahead of their first annual pantomime which closes the conference on Friday. Said Liberal Leader, Sir Menzies Campbell, ‘Gary has all the attributes we want in a panto spokesman’. To which the auditorium responded: ‘Oh no he hasn’t’. Sir Menzies was quick to quell the revolt. ‘Oh yes he has!’ he said in his most authoritative voice. Conference then passed a vote to confirm that ‘Oh no he hasn’t’ is the official party line.

Meanwhile, Sarah Teather appeared on stage with Mr. Wilmot and declared herself delighted to have been given the part of Cinders. ‘I’ll be the youngest Cinders every and can’t thank Gary enough for his support,’ she gushed before signing a petition to have Mr. Wilmot stripped of his post, citing that she ‘would no longer be prepared to serve under his leadership after this weekend’s panto’.
