‘Is there anyone at the conference I should make a point of interviewing?’ I reckon: me
Of the speakers I think Juliet Samuel would be good value. There are also a lot of very oddball speakers; what are Grimes, Hannan and Toby Young doing there? I think Cates is good too. And Goodhart would be able to give the most informed view

Hannan and Young are there to provide classical liberal policy heft. Young pretty much got the academic freedom legislation through Parliament on his tod. In that, he's doing what classical liberals traditionally do: get cranky about some policy cock-up, develop a policy fix, and then get it enacted into law. This is something post-liberals and national conservatives are going to have to learn to do on their own account.
Grimes, sadly, is probably there because he's Northern and working-class, and has a huge social media following.
