It came principally from David Miliband, who had obviously put in a new set of gnashers as he ripped into the Conservative bottom over Europe with a good deal of glee.
To comrades clicking their tongues and shaking their heads, the Foreign Sec said: "Eric Pickles, the Chairman of the Conservative Party, explained - without a hint of shame - that we should not condemn one of their new allies, the For Fatherland and Freedom Party, who every year celebrate the Latvian Waffen SS with a march past of SS veterans, because they were only following orders. It makes me sick."
Comrades cried "shame" in agreement. There was more. "And you know what makes me sicker? No one in the Tory party batted an eyelid." More cries of "shame". Milly was on a roll.
"When Edward MacMillan Scott, one of their own MEPs, a former leader of the Tory Group in Europe, took these people on and won the Vice Presidency of the European Parliament, defeating a man denounced by the Chief Rabbi of Poland for an anti-semitic, neo-Nazi past, what did the Tories do to MacMillan Scottt? They chucked him out of the Tory Party."
Yet more cries of "shame".
"It's tempting to laugh at the Tory policy on Europe," noted Milly. "But I don't want people laughing at my country because a bunch of schoolboys have taken over the government. The Tories are not a government in waiting; they are a national embarrassment."
It was the Foreign Sec's best moment at conference, which is saying something given that Milly usually comes up with the conference howler.
He also underlined just how hurt Labour was with the change of allegiance by Rupert Murdoch.
Milly quipped: "The earth does revolve around the sun - but not the one printed in Wapping." The comrades loved that with one throwing up into the air a ripped copy of the offending publication.
And there was still more.
Harriet Harman, who has replaced the tub-thumping John Prescott slot with the final conference contribution, also had a pop at News International.
"We have made progress on equality even in The Sun," she declared with a look of surprise on her face.
"On page three today there's a young woman who's really concerned about jobs for women as well as men. And what a coincidence - she's called Harriet, aged 20, from Peckham." The big H is, of course, MP for Peckham.
"The only problem is that Harriet is so concerned about jobs - that she's forgotten to put her clothes on." The hall erupted. Even Prezza might have been proud at that joke despite the fact he hates Harriet's politically correct guts.
And finally we had the singing of the Red Flag, which was a bit staccato as many party members had to read the words from cards, helpfully handed out by the stewards.
From Brighton's slough of despond to the sunlit uplands of Manchester where the Tories will hold their annual gathering next week.
As all those bright young Conservative things turn up to jump on the Cameron bandwagon, expecting electoral victory, it will mean in one sense at least that the Tory Party conference really will be a gathering of the many and not the few.
