party conference this time last week. yes and i think that's one of the reasons why the expectation from this conservative party conference at the relatively low that's the impression is that in fact the fact of the matter is that that the real negotiation the real nitty gritty is actually happening elsewhere it's happening in the negotiations that are happening with the you you've got that e.u. summit coming up in a couple of weeks that said to the impression of the prime minister on the ropes which certainly is an impression that boris johnson was keen to put forward yesterday the membership here is actually trying it seems to rally around the prime minister you can see because of our vantage point but boris johnson's address yesterday was the best attended so far of the conference the main all the tory and three rather sparsely attended the audiences have been very low and yet can tell you now for the prime minister's speech there is a queue stretching as far as i can see all the way in that direction there will not be an empty seats in the house for the prime minister's speech and you get the impression that the final

and to see a check in a report on the conservative party conference. certainly curious political times here in the u.k. as we speak and this annual conservative party conference has wrapped up to quite a bit of drama despite british prime minister theresa may putting up a show of keeping up appearances including with that quirky dance to dancing queen despite a speech that was really seen as make or break for her because of course much of the speech was dedicated to teresa me trying to show that she has things under control especially when it comes to bracks it having essentially now standing at a point of a potential no deal brags that having so no lots of division inside the u.k. and of course essentially having created basically a civil war inside her own country may was trying to show that she can still fix things however before her speech she was dealt quite a shock blow when a letter of no confidence had been sent by a tory m.p. going public with him essentially calling for her to go let's see what that letter said. there comes a point the loyalty

a paul brennan has more from the conservative party conference in bernie. it was a remarkably self-assured performance by the prime minister she has a reputation for being a bit stiff and rebutted her nickname in some quarters is the may boss so to see her moving on to the stage to the tune of dancing queen by abba was an unexpected delight for the delegates within the order tory i'm here at birmingham but the speech that she gave really didn't put much more meat on the bones of the actual details of what britain's brackets tuition is going to be yes she came out and appeal for unity she made a passing reference to her rival boris johnson who's been a thorn in her side politically and is calling for much tougher bracks and for the end of the checkers deal it was noticeable that's the prime minister didn't wants mention of the word checkers perhaps for fear of being heckled or booed at any mention of that particular word and she gave a quite a tough line as far as the possibility that britain would be prepared to walk away from the go see ations and take a b

of course you have to remember this is the conservative party conference and he's famously playing to the troops who love to hear this kind of thing but and also he has been sprinkling british troops around the place a little bit announcing for instance that british troops remain in germany because of the russian threat presence in ukraine we know about the baltic states and no eight hundred commandos being sent to the far north of norway no war is this threat the threat if it exists a toll would be supposedly russian warships coming down from the arctic into the north sea the english channel you may remember a couple of years ago a famous when they did that russian planes coming towards british airspace more about roy also who commandos were do you know what commandos in norway could do it i have no idea the idea that russia is about to launch a conventional war in the arctic which is all these commanders could be there for eight hundred of them not enough to stop any serious operation is a bit mind boggling so i think firstly this is playing to the gallery of the conservative party

just listen to the speeches from the main auditorium here at the conservative party conference you would think that everybody is foursquare behind the prime minister theresa may and her checkers plan but it's simply not the case the two main keynote speeches today were from the chancellor of the stack philip hammond after the press it secretary dominic right now is the route for example warned that the news that the british would walk away with a no deal if necessary if the if you try to box britain into a corner over a customs union and the chancellor warned that the only deal on the table was checketts and he stood for scrap behind it he said don't test says it won't work then basically the same thing is what people said about the light bulb back in eight hundred seventy eight and they were proved wrong but make no mistake those expressions of loyalty are not universally shared by all the conservative members and party members who are members of the euro skeptics think tanks that both groups in the bruges group have met in one of the smaller rooms capital around this large complex and

well paul brennan was watching it all he is live for us at the conservative party conference in a burning him so poor it was a very broad based speech and took on a lot of themes not the least of which was of course brings it to by all accounts it was well received at least inside that party conference. indeed i mean it was actually a remarkably self-assured performance by the prime minister she saw as you saw by the clip that she kind of boogied onto the stage of the cheering of her dancing queen by abba something we would never expect a recent mate to do she was ridiculed for her dancing on a recent visit to kenya and so she was quite deliberately i think making reference to that and she started her speech with a joke but you quite quickly got into the actual meat and bones of it and it was the big takeaway i think from the audience point of view playing quite a tough line and saying that if the negotiations don't work that britain will walk away reluctantly with no deal she's pushed the so-called checkers plan that she has come up with with her government as being the best compromise s

mason, bbc news, birmingham. 0ur chief political correspondent — vicki young — is at the conservative party conference conference. we have heard of the deep divisions. what do you think of the prime minister's speech later this week? it has been interesting, the calls for unity and tolerance, particularly over that issue of brexit. in the main hall, apart from the brexit secretary himself, i would say the main speakers are steering clear of the whole subject of what is interesting is away from here, there is even an alternative brexit conference so we have people like priti patel, the brexit year, former cabinet minister, still really passionately arguing against theresa may's brexit plan. she said the check deal stands in defiance of democracy. another minister said it was like a ghastly cockroach crawling on the floor so that anger about the prime minister's direction on brexit is there but it is very much not here in this whole. the other striking thing is cabinet ministers trying to look beyond brexit. some looked at last the's labour party conference, not agreeing with the approach but they do wo

the dancing prime minister garnered most of the headlines at this week's conservative party conferenceolicy as well as performance. and has the way we have got to talking about politics on the news just got too rude and argumentative? the party conference season is when we expect a leading politicians to set out their big ideas in the full glare of the media spotlight. sometimes though they declined broadcasters invitations to submit themselves to questioning and this week that led to a row. on tuesday, representatives from the bbc, sky, itv, channel 4 and channel five complained in a letter to downing street about what they called the prime minister's lack of availability for television interviews during her pa rty‘s conference. her director of communications replied that she had done 36 interviews during the conference. meanwhile, nick robinson mentioned on the today programme last week that although labour leaders normally appeared on the show during their party conference, they had been told that jeremy corbyn was unavailable to do so. signs perhaps of an increasingly fractious rel

for some conservatives in this conference brexit matters more than anything, more than being in government or conservative partyt it's difficult to see how mrs may can get them on board? the plant -- prime minister has to try and secure the deal that honours the decision made by the place people but also widget sets the economy there for future growth. i am very clear that she will deliver a deal. it will be very difficult to resist because it will be in the national interest. that is what guides the prime minister despite all the noise. why is the government even thinking about now deal given that we have heard from the chancellor in recent weeks warning that the treasury could be something like £80 billion worse off. how can now deal be in the national interest? we have taken responsible measures across government to take account for all eventualities. the government '5 position is we don't believe now deal is oddly likely but it's something we must have plans for. that is the action of a responsible government. we are working on securing a deal in the national interest. we hear a lot about the conference abo
