LIB DEM CONFERENCE: HARROGATE HIGHLIGHTS

GOOD DAY

Malcolm Bruce; gained new serenity after he was given his new party strategy job

BAD DAY

Simon Hughes; the prospects of the enfant terrible of the Liberal Democrats took a sharp dive after his disloyal comments about the party leader, Charles Kennedy

REBEL OF THE DAY

Alan Sherwell, the chairman during the GM debate who told Charles Kennedy to wind up his speech. Tony Blair is unlikely to receive such treatment next week

SOUNDBITE OF THE DAY

Malcolm Bruce, speaking about his future plans to enforce party discipline: "I won't be a Peter Mandelson'

BEST FRINGE MEETING

The Sky News forum discussing `The Way Ahead' was packed. But many may have been tempted by free refreshments

BEST PARTY

The Annual Glee Club, the traditional end of conference satire of the week, was the best gig in town. In the past, mimics have included the Liberal Democrat comedian John Cleese

OVATION OF THE DAY

With 45 decibels on the clapometer, Charles Kennedy came top but he will hope to do better after his speech today
