And so to Conference
It is the first day of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Autumn Conference and I am ensconced in the Castle Hotel in Brecon and about to attend a Community Housing Cymru breakfast.
I don't normally do breakfasts but I have made an exception in this case because they asked nicely and because we are in the run-up to the election and this event will make an important contribution to discussion about the party's manifesto.
The Western Mail also carries coverage of the conference with Kirsty Williams making it clear that the Coalition at a UK level does not apply in this set of elections.
“We will be fighting on all fronts,” she insisted. “We will be taking on the Tories in places like Montgomeryshire.
“We will be taking on Plaid in places like Ceredigion. And we will be taking on the Labour Party in their heartlands in South Wales.”
She continued: “I’m not in coalition with the Conservatives here. There’s no change to our policy.
“We’ll be fighting them as hard as we are fighting the other parties.”
She underlines how united the Assembly Group are under her leadership and says we are ready for the fight of our lives in May. Her speech should be worth listening to later today.

"Kirsty Williams making it clear that the Coalition at a UK level does not apply in this set of elections."
Wishful thinking. The coalition controls the Assembly's public finances, and public finances will almost certainly be the biggest election issue.
