Same old song...

After Gordon's speech at conference last night the party was supposedly looking to the future.

But as delegates and MPs attended the free-bar bash of think-tank the Institute of Public Policy Research there was a more reminiscent feel.

Tipsy delegates were a bit slow taking to the dance floor when the DJ suddenly shouted "remember how good this felt?"

D:Ream's 1997 Labour anthem Things Can Only Get Better rang out and the dance floor was packed in seconds.
