Ed Miliband took to the stage, no doubt mindful of a recent opinion poll, suggesting only one in five voters believe he would make a good prime minister. His party hopes this performance will make some voters think again. It was a performance that began with talk of his background as the child of Jewish refugees and a promise to fight the current scepticism towards people in power and, particularly, politicians.
The party faithful in the audience also cheered his attacks on the coalition government, which he accused of giving tax cuts to the rich while cutting spending on the poor and failing in its central aim of reducing borrowing. Most importantly, Mr Miliband attempted to set out the kind of Britain he would lead if elected, pointedly and repeatedly using a phrase first coined by a Conservative Prime Minister in the 19th century, "one nation".
His party's supporters clearly liked it and the initial reaction from political commentators has also been favourable, with many describing it as his best performance since becoming leader. But the Conservatives accused Mr Miliband of continuing to stand for more spending and borrowing which had created the mess in the first place. Although the next general election is over two years away, it feels like the campaign has already begun.
