Just as Ed was laying into Murdoch the TV channels lost the feed from his conference speech. Murdoch owns the satellites. Ed has been talking to the hall and not the nation for ten minutes so far…
UPDATE 15.00: Back up, Baldwin will be raging.
UPDATE 15:20: A bun-fight is developing backstage as fingers of blame start getting pointed.

Iran’s military chief-of-staff, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi…
“The Iranian nation is standing for its cause and that is the full annihilation of Israel”.
Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
The curse of Ed
I guess some journalists don’t like the idea of a journalist’s licence.
Guido: “Baldwin will be raging”
It’s worse than that – he’ll be absolutely snorting…
Scousers will have nicked all the telly gear.
It’ll be down at Crack Converter before you can say “calm down”
All your speech are belong to us…
The Empire Strikes Back
His license expired…
Check out ” Shameless” you benefit junkie
calm down! calm down!
He’ll be nipping out for a tray of pies soon.
Public Service Broadcasting at its very best.
You’d have thought that the BBC, wallowing, as it is, in a Jacuzzi of cash* would have managed to have UPS systems on the critical parts of their equipment to guard against such glitches…
Public service broadcasting at its finest, as you say
* as recognised by Mark Thompson before he became DG.
Under Harriets plan men will not be able to hold the positions of leader and deputy at the same time as one of these positions must be held by a woman. This leaves the way open for the dream ticket prospect of Ed Milliband and Jack Dromey to run together.
Did he manage to get a few “Milly Dowlers” in. No surely not. That would amount to exploitation of her.
Has anyone noticed?
Yeah I noticed. However when he came back on he was sucking up to rioters and Margaret Thatcher at the same time.
I switched off.
Made my day…
Jonah-ed!!!!
Nope – some scallywag scouser has nicked the satelite dish.
Where was Broon?
The Murdochs strike back!
I said at the time, Ed had to finish of Murdoch, If not Rupert will have revenge
Right, I’m going to get The Guardian on to him.
Yes Red Ed ,be afraid, be very afraid.
How sad, what a pity, never mind. I had no intention of watching this odious creep (or any of the others) anyway, so no loss here.
ROFL
No doubt gordon’s turned up!!
Wouldn’t have happened under Blair.
His wife would be selling CDs of the speech in the lobby for £49.99 before the end of the day.
I blame sabotage by the conservative led coalition.
Just wait till it’s David Cameron’s turn at his conference……
We don’t want to listen to his gibbering either!
Certainly true for me. Why watch for a change of rosette?
Bring on the dancing girls then…
Or the Labour Club cage-fighting eight-year-olds.
Is there anyone in the hall to start with ?
Neo-Guido, Damian McBride, dolly draper and whoever is left from the bus load of people they bused into downing street in 1997.
Where’s Degsy…he’s aaaaaalright!!!
I wonder if Rupert is sitting in a big chair stroking a cat and smirking right know.
Ed really is an awful speaker, with weak disjointed material and poor delivery. That 16 year old was better.
“If it wasnt for the welfare state I wouldnt be here today”.
yes, son, thats the problem…you and tens of thousands of others welfare state kids.
Cannon fodder for the Socialist Labour party.
Toenails actually called it a “serious speech.” That must’ve been the bit we all (mercifully) missed.
You can’t polish a turd but you can always roll it in glitter….
Still stinks the same though.
It’s the asset strippers that did it…
They stripped the satellites…
Ooooops! Heavens to Murgatroyd, what a shame. Not!!
The best bit
can we switch it off again? this is dire.
Wendy Deng and a pair of insulated snippers at work!! Ha Ha ha
Thank you the BBC
It is the only intelligent thing you have done for years…or has one of your technicians taken too much of the white stuff ?!
Probarly not enough white stuff.
They pulled the plug on Ed
Could not make it up…this is third world stuff…
And could not have happened to a nicer chap !
There is a God !
The BBC is obviously operating a ‘No platform’ policy for fuckwits today.
Fucking hilarious.
They’ll have to redo the speech or ‘use the words of an actor’ reading his lines like they used to back in the day when the IRA were banned from TV.
Hahahaha. A silhouette of Ned giving it ‘too fast, too deep’ being voiced over by Tom Baker.
Ed “Boring” Milicrap is the most boring speaker in the universe. All those drama lessons, elocution lessons, waving your hands about lessons, twisty mouth lessons, blocked nose lessons… all for nothing. When the link to Liverpool was lost it was a blessed relief because he’s just too boring to bear. Boring, boring boring.
“The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom” (or was it Willesden)
Wisden.
The umpires’ stats section.
So it was Sir Freds Fault. It started in Edinburgh
Couldn’t have been anything to do with labour then.
Power cut… someone not checking the fuses are the right rating. Probably just replaced it with a bolt now.
BBC continued with an “audio only feed” which I think was someone holding up their phone – good initiative whoever thought of that!
I thought that was just normal BBC standard?
It makes no difference to his rubbish speech. Judge for yourselves the level of muted applause, and that’s from the chosen sycophants.
The BBC News channel was wetting itself when the broadcast went off air.
It’s been back on for 15 minutes now and nobody noticed.
As everyone knows,
1)random data is much harder to compress.
2)TV signals are compressed.
3)there’s a fixed amount of bandwidth for the channel.
Basically too much random crap for TV.
Are you a welfare stater or a go getter
COULDNT HAVE HAPPENED TO A BETTER PERSON AND PARTY
AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP
Good auto-cueing from Ed when it resumed 14.55..” We are not people”…obviously a bit flustered and narky
Who is this twot?
I wouldn’t worry too much. The test card is more interesting than boring Ed. And a lot more factual.
Been watching the speech and I am massively underwhelmed. I had low expectations and he have fallen below them by some distance.
Very telling that in the first minute or so he had a pop a Blair. This is an empty speech not designed to lay out any vision but to try to cozy up to the Labour base.
It’s just a collection of banal soundbites that absolutely do nothing to show him as ant type of statesman.
Well put Crabtree – stand easy.
Ed the Ant? You could be onto something their officer.
I know the Squatter and the Ant!!
Is he working with goof boards? [So used to him reading his script]
Statment from aide to Rupert:
“We were not aware of Ed Milibands speech, It clashed with the deep clean of our satalites to make sure they were not involved in phone hacking”
how long was it off air
Not long enough.
Q. What do you call a scouser wearing a tie.
A. The accused.
A suicide risk?
A: A Labour MP
A: Very suspicious
Dont you think I look like Paul McCartney?
I try very hard to.
oooh-oooooo
Some predator chav will have nicked the cable for the scrap copper.
Will anyone get Nokia-ed for this tho?
Just what does Miliband stand for. He is for everything yet against everything.
A speech full of hypocrisy, soundbites and spin.
He’s now banging on about supporting the producers. what next- a return to a purely agrarian society? Although he did also cite BAe Systems as a good company. Ha ha- Labour and the producers of baby killing bombs. There must be a load of ex-CND turning in their graves.
Crap performance as well. Wooden performance and no conviction. I can see this playing badly with the rank and file.
This is always the risk of going to Liverpool. The scousers will steal anything including a crap speech.
Says something that they chucked it back though.
Has he mentioned the words “socialist or socialisim” in what has been broadcast?
Good Lord. gaddafi is finding it easier to broadcast his message than militwit.
Mind gaddafi is more interesting to listen to even when he speaks in arabic.
LOL !!
Some alien listenin in to this bollox might think that Labore had bin in oppostion for decades , FFS !!
16 fuckin months , I makes it .
Apologies for me language , Guido , darlin x .
E x .
What a c*nt
No, one of them is warm wet and usful
You’re obviously not married!
After today Liverpool will be known as the City of Soundbites.
Liverpool the City of No Soundbites.
The Mersey Bleet
Good Lord. gaddafi is finding it e@sier to broadcast his message than militwit.
Mind gaddafi is more interesting to listen to even when he sp e @ks in
ar@bic.
*breaks wind*
Theese funny guy? How ees he?
I’m going to stick my banana up Ed’s arse.
Keith Vaz Caption Competition…

“You don’t get many of those to the Sèr”
Keith Vaz confronts Labour knockers
Boing, boing!
I thought all the junior party members spoke yesterday.
Ah well a least a day of school eh.
There’s no pleasing Labour is there?
They complained when they left Gordon’s microphone on and now they are complaining when they turn Ed’s off.
Just how he has the nerve to stand there and spout such hypocritical drivel is beyond belief. Did Hari write his speech?
No but I did write the Gettysburgh address for my good friend Abe and my “I have a dream “speech was also particularly good.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/8790913/Exam-board-to-penalise-private-school-pupils.html
Meanwhile the Tories will down grade the marks & exam results those from private schools.
Looks like rusty Dave was impressed by Ed Balls – “our education system should not produce winners”.
This faux fake Tory omnishambles gets worse every day.
Try making comments that are at least partially related to the article that you’ve linked.
Love it. I expect most TV viewers didn’t even notice.
In the interests of balance, it is only right and proper that the BBC axes ten minutes of Cameron’s speech next week.
No doubt they’ll axe all of it.
For balance.
There’s less wood in a totem pole
abolish the whip!
Was David Miliband seen loitering near the electricity socket?
Ned Balls probably.
this speech has to be the longest political alter boy drivel in history
Rather sums up….Miliband’s disastrous leadership of the Labour Party…as he’s cut off in mid-flow…………….
Someone once said that they would rather be lucky than good.
Ed is niether.
This is the most humbling day of my life…… laughter off stage)
Listened for five mins on the wireless. Quite nauseating.
Mr Bean talks to a room full of idiots.
Well done for managing five minutes!
Four and a half of those must’ve been during the blacked out silence. I know that was the best part of his speech as far as I was concerned.
If you missed any of the speech, this will give you a flavour of it:
“So I’m going to tell it straight. That’s the lesson I have learnt about this job and myself over the last twelve months. To be true to myself. My instincts. My values. To take risks in the pursuit of that. And to stand up for what is right.
The moment it came home to me most was when I heard the terrible news that Milly Dowler’s phone had been hacked. Someone had hacked into the voicemails of a missing teenager. Deleted them from her phone. Given her parents false hope. As Justine said to me that morning, it was sick that someone could do that. That’s why I had to speak out [continues......]”
The flavour being that of a very furry old humbug that has been overlooked in Ed Balls’ trouser pocket.
Well pu Sir William!
Still dancing on the poor girl’s grave for his own political benefit – now THAT is sick.
BBC’s John Soper is wetting himself.
Miliband must be a neutrino he is that lightweight.
Even the crowd in the hall seem disappointed. Not exactly a rabble rousing, fire and brimstone kind of speech. Conference is all about firing up the troops. He has failed to do that. To his troops he looking like an Italian General about now.
Only one thing to do when the lying hypocritical ku Nts start rambling on……just cut the feed!
Its called karma Ed.
Wonder if Tom will call me for a line or two to calm his nerves!
Richard Bacon seems to be in love with Ed Milliband over on Radio 5.
Ed balls says you can always rely on radio 5.
Yes “YOU” can cant you Mr Balls.
This is why it’s real name is Radio 5 Labour.
Ed kissed Margaret Beckett. Phew! Lucky escape for me then.
Fantastic. Splendid work, shutting the little shit up. Doubtless, we’ll now have the institutional liars at the BBC shrieking about Murdoch even more but stuff ‘em.
BBC 5 Lies.
wish someone would cut their feed…..permanently!
+ 100
ha ha!
Brillo has just made the whole ‘evil predator’ company vendetta out to be the empty soundbite it was. Andy Burnham was completely caught with his cock in the choirboy. Blushed, stuttered and then fell back on indignation.
When even the shadow cabinet can’t explain your vision then you know you have a communication issue.
I think that it is Pravda BBC issuing an apology for the problem (ED) and promising it will get back on schedule (David) shortly.
What was all that ‘new bargain’ bollocks about?
Fatcher’s fault. Telly has never been the same.
All this fuss – these things happen, get over it.
Delicious! Really doesn’t matter what the truth is, or whether some Murdoch acolyte fixed – or unfixed – the satellite feed, just good to see the BBC get its come-uppance in its relentless campaign against Murdoch and his ‘power’. Which, as every discerning news junkie knows, isn’t a fraction of the power wielded by the BBC itself which is dependent on a tax levied on every television owner, not by a subscription paid voluntarily by those who want Sky, and who are happy to pay for Murdoch newspapers.
Exactly. Thank you.
If it was intentional, can you blame Rupe or whichever underling was responsible?
This is a political party that would like to see any news outlet he owns closed down – not because of phone hacking, that’s just the excuse. The reason is because he doesn’t support their socialist nightmare.
Funny, this only used to happen to Conservatives on the BBC with amazing regularity.
Glad I didn’t buy a TV just to watch it, I’d've wasted some of my money.
can you picture this utter tit going into negotiations with say putin or some other political hardnut……. ahh mr.putin …..the name’s fudd , elmer fudd
Love ‘em or loathe them, Labour leaders usually deliver a good speech even if it is full of bull. Ed’s speech was poor.
