🥳🎭Very exciting to be making the great Sir David Amess’s dream a reality. Tonight @MusicManProject are conquering Broadway in New York City!!! The one & only @DavidStanleyMus has made it happen generously supported by @teamlewisglobal and President @PennyMordaunt.

‘I am so pleased at a Conservative leader, making a Conservative speech!’ @Jacob_Rees_Mogg reacts to Kemi Badenoch’s keynote speech at the Conservative Party Conference.

Last week I called Andy Burnham's speech consequential, but it was very much full, as Ed Davey said, full of 'definitely maybes' by 2040. @KemiBadenoch delivered a belter of a speech today, full of sparkle, but also setting out basic Conservative principles and full of policy meat. The IHT promise will get the headlines but there was far more to it than that. The stuff about the Reform "weirdos" and ruling our reuniting the right should get attention, plus the passage on her ethnicity and what it means to be English, where she absolutely socked it to Suella Braverman without naming her. The passage on how to bring about growth was especially strong. I've been attending party conferences for 40 years. This one got off to a slow start, but ended with the party members going home with a spring in their step. Rarely, if ever, in those 40 years, have I seen a party so united behind its leader - both MPs and party members. And to achieve that within less than two years of becoming leader is quite an achievement. Yes, last year's conference speech was a turning point, but so was her firing of Robert Jenrick. With one decisive step, she ripped out the cancer, and has never looked back. It's now up to her shadow cabinet to demonstrate that this isn't a one woman party.

The spat over what the Tory missile shield is called is irrelevant. What matters is Kemi Badenoch has gained traction on a major defence policy, an area where Labour and Reform have created a vacuum. Andy Burnham hardly mentioned it. Reform don't even have a defence spokesman.

Stark contrast between these headlines. The Government must not push out decisions on the budget. If we don’t have a path to spend 5% GDP to prevent a conflict we will end up spending 50% fighting one. That is 5x the entire welfare budget. We are running out of time

🔥Amazing @ConservativeAWF reception this evening in #Birmingham hosted by Rt Hon Mark Francois MP, with fantastic speeches by Shadow Secretary of State for Defra @VictoriaAtkins & @mShadow Defra Minister of State @DrNeilHudson. 🙏🏻Huge thank you to Chris and Lorraine Platt for all the amazing work they have done on behalf of all animals 🐥 🐄 🐷 🐕 in 🇬🇧 #CPC26 #AnimalWelfare #PigFarrowingCrates

Good to speak to the @guidedogs team at #CPC26 party conference and meet their beautiful guide dogs. Guide Dogs is calling for the Government to produce clear, enforceable standards for safe and accessible bus stops that minimise conflict between pedestrians and cyclists 🚴‍♀️

Thank you to our Patron Mark Francois MP for hosting our Animal Welfare Reception at Conservative Party conference to mark CAWF’s 10th anniversary and his heartfelt speech paying tribute to the late Sir David Amess’s work to protect animals #CPC26

Very sad to have had to announce the death of my friend Jeffrey Archer on the show last night. A man of talents, flaws, positivity and bouncebackability, with a zest for life. He was a terrific interviewee. He sometimes invited me to his flat on Albert Embankment as he loved political gossip. His trilogy of Prison Diaries remain the best books of the last 20 years on what life is like in prison. He sold 350 million books in 47 languages in 114 countries but the literary cogniscenti always looked down their noses at him. I tried in vain to get him to write his autobiography. Yes, he sometimes lacked judgement, no he never achieved his aim to be a front rank politician, yes he did some bad things. But what a life. What. A. Life. @Jeffrey_Archer

🥳Brilliant @ConservativeAWF event going on right now in the Hyatt Hotel in #Birmingham at #CPC26.

Thank you for your kind words Anna and for your great speech to end animal experiments at the @AFR_UK reception at the Conservative Party conference #CPC26 . Many thanks for all you do to end this suffering. #HerbiesLaw

🐶Always an absolute pleasure to speak at @AFR_UK event at #CPC26 and meet the wonderful Lorraine & Chris Platt of @ConservativeAWF. 🧫 The science is clear - there is no need for the @ukhomeoffice to keep issuing MILLIONS & MILLIONS of licences for experiments on live animals every single year. Non animal alternatives now exist. 🐾Time to get behind #HerbiesLaw and finally consign this barbaric practice to history. #HerbiesLaw #AnimalFreeResearch

Spend Some Friday and The Weekend with @GBNEWS! Now: My girl @Anna_Firth and Stephen joins @LeeAndersonMP_'s Real World with @CDP1882. Catch @DawnNeesom tomorrow and Sunday! youtube.com/live/txAXB8diKAM via @youtube #GBNews

If ever there was a #Labour Party speech that illustrated perfectly one of @MrsMThatcher’s most brilliant sayings, this was it 👇🏻 #AndyBurnham #Labour #Conference
