Everything you missed at the Tory Party conference

Tory leadership candidate James Cleverly has urged his party to “be more normal” and take inspiration from US president Ronald Reagan.

Making his leadership campaign speech at the annual Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, Cleverly opened his address from behind a lectern with an apology to the public.

The former home and foreign secretary said: “We’re currently in opposition but we don’t exist to be in opposition. We’re in politics to serve the British people and to make their lives better.

“We need to get back on track but before we can do that there’s something we need to say: sorry. Sorry on behalf of the Conservative parliamentary party, who let you down.

We know what they are like even before leadership race, we've had 14 years of them same faces

I'd want Tugendhat or Cleverly to win, but suspect that we'll get Jenrick due to the reactionary nature of the party membership

Everything I missed? I didn't watch any of it so why is the video only 1 minute 34 seconds long? All of the best bits I guess.
