Показать описание
It's the first day of the Conservative Party's first conference in opposition in 15 years.
Under the slogan "review and rebuild", the party faithful gathered in Birmingham to work out what went so catastrophically wrong at the July election - and also to pick their new leader to take them forward.
In a farewell speech to party members in Birmingham, the former prime minister Rishi Sunak thanked them for having "worked tirelessly during the election campaign".
"You are not only the backbone of our country, our party, but our communities too," he said.
Sunak added: "I am only sorry that your efforts could not deliver the results you deserved."
He also said the party had to "learn the lessons" of the defeat as it they "did not get everything right in office".
Sunak also issued a warning to the party to get behind whoever replaces him.
"Whoever wins this contest give them your backing," he said. "We must end the division, the backbiting, the squabbling."
"We must not nurse old grudges," Sunak said. "When we turn in on ourselves, we lose."
