:00:26. > :00:31.Evening all. Welcome to another roundup from the Tory Party
:00:31. > :00:34.conference here in Manchester, where it's been pretty low-key
:00:34. > :00:40.affair. Perhaps because party managers have been reluctant to
:00:40. > :00:45.feed the party faithful any red meat. There's been nothing to
:00:45. > :00:50.assuage their eurosceptic appetites, no tax cuts to gobble down and all
:00:50. > :00:52.the time there have been -- they're being force-fed an increase in the
:00:53. > :00:57.foreign aid budget while police numbers and defence are being cut.
:00:57. > :01:04.It's not a very popular Tory diet. But Home Secretary, Theresa May,
:01:04. > :01:08.thought she had something to fill the Tory stomach. Next year, across
:01:08. > :01:11.England and Wales the public will vote for police and crime
:01:11. > :01:18.Commissioners. One economister -- Commissioner for each police force
:01:18. > :01:21.in the country. Responsible for setting police budgets, deciding
:01:21. > :01:26.police priorities, holding the police to account and hiring and
:01:26. > :01:30.firing Chief Constables. They will be powerful public figures and they
:01:30. > :01:36.will, for the first time, make the police truly accountable to the
:01:36. > :01:44.people. Some people question why we are reforming the police. For me,
:01:44. > :01:49.the reason is simple. We need them to be the tough, no-nonsense crime
:01:49. > :01:54.fighters they signed up to become. But right now, despite what police
:01:54. > :01:59.officers want, too many of them are not. Stuck too often in the station,
:01:59. > :02:03.instead of on the streets. Filling in forms, instead of catching
:02:03. > :02:07.criminals. Thanks to Labour, the police became a bureaucratic
:02:07. > :02:14.service, not an operational force. And that's why the first thing I
:02:14. > :02:24.did as Home Secretary was abolish all police targets, and set Chief
:02:24. > :02:26.
:02:26. > :02:30.Constables one clear objective: Cut crime. APPLAUSE. I haven't askeded
:02:30. > :02:36.police to be social workers, I haven't set them any performance
:02:36. > :02:44.indicaters and I haven't given them a 30 point plan, I have told them
:02:44. > :02:50.to cut crime. APPLAUSE and as Conservatives, we understand
:02:50. > :02:53.too the need to reduce and control immigration. Of course limited
:02:53. > :02:59.immigration can bring benefits to Britain and we will always welcome
:02:59. > :03:02.those who genuinely seek refuge from persecution but we know what
:03:03. > :03:07.damage uncontrolled immigration can do. To our society as communities
:03:07. > :03:11.struggle to cope with rapid change, to our infrastructure as our
:03:11. > :03:15.housing stock and transport system become overloaded and to our public
:03:15. > :03:21.services as schools and hospitals have to cope with a sudden increase
:03:21. > :03:26.in demand. So we are taking action to reduce immigration across every
:03:26. > :03:32.route into Britain. But these tough new rules need to be enforced and
:03:32. > :03:37.we need to make sure that we are not constrained from removing
:03:37. > :03:47.foreign nationals who in all sanity should have no right to be here.
:03:47. > :03:48.
:03:48. > :03:53.APPLAUSE. We all know the stories about the Human Rights Act. The
:03:53. > :03:58.violent drug dealer who cannot be sent home because his daughter, for
:03:58. > :04:08.whom he pays no maintenance, lives here. The robber who cannot be
:04:08. > :04:13.removed because he has a girlfriend. The illegal immigrant who cannot be
:04:13. > :04:22.deported because, and I am not making this up, because he had a
:04:22. > :04:32.pet cat. That is why I remain of the view that the Human Rights Act
:04:32. > :04:42.
:04:42. > :04:47.needs to go. APPLAUSE. The Government's Commission is
:04:47. > :04:51.looking at a British Bill of Rights and I can today announce that we
:04:51. > :04:55.will change the immigration rules to ensure that the
:04:55. > :04:59.misinterpretation of Article 8 of the ECHR, the right to a family
:04:59. > :05:09.life, no longer prevents the deportation of people who should
:05:09. > :05:11.
:05:11. > :05:16.not be here. APPLAUSE. The right to a family life is not an absolute
:05:16. > :05:26.right, and it must not be used to drive a coach and horses through
:05:26. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:34.our immigration system. APPLAUSE. The meaning of Article 8 should no
:05:34. > :05:39.longer be misconstrued. So I will write it into our immigration rules
:05:39. > :05:43.that when foreign nationals are convicted of a criminal offence or
:05:43. > :05:53.breach our immigration laws, when they should be removed, they will
:05:53. > :05:55.
:05:55. > :06:00.be removed. Our opponents will say it can't be
:06:00. > :06:05.done, that they will fight us every step of the way. But they said that
:06:05. > :06:10.about the cap on economic migration and we did it. They said that about
:06:10. > :06:14.our student visa reforms and we're doing them. As Home Secretary, I
:06:14. > :06:21.will do everything I can to restore sanity to our immigration system,
:06:22. > :06:24.and get the numbers down. I will never be ashamed to say that we
:06:24. > :06:28.should doering we can -- do everything we can to reward those
:06:28. > :06:38.who do the right thing and I will never hesitate to say we should
:06:38. > :06:44.punish those who do the wrong thing. APPLAUSE.
:06:44. > :06:47.That's why we must trust the people, by giving them their say about
:06:47. > :06:53.policing their communities, and it's why we must respect the people
:06:53. > :07:03.by doing what they want and getting to grips with immigration. And that
:07:03. > :07:04.
:07:05. > :07:09.is what I am determined to do. Thank you.
:07:09. > :07:13.Theresa May. In fact, cat flap turned out to be largely a load of
:07:13. > :07:17.fur balls. Neither Theresa May nor I knew that when I began my
:07:18. > :07:23.interview with her just before lunch. I started by asking her what
:07:23. > :07:27.would happen if judges simply ignored her new guidelines about
:07:27. > :07:30.deporting foreign criminals? I have every expectation, Andrew, that
:07:30. > :07:34.when we make the changes to the immigration rules, which will be
:07:34. > :07:37.done through stat story instrument, second legislation, that the judges
:07:37. > :07:41.won't ignore what we are saying, that they will actually listen to
:07:41. > :07:45.what we have put into the immigration rules in terms of
:07:45. > :07:49.making sure that there is that interpretation of Article 8. Are we
:07:49. > :07:53.legally obliged to do that? parliament will set its will down
:07:53. > :07:57.in the statutory instrument, it will set what is necessary, what we
:07:57. > :08:01.expect judges to do. As I say, I have every expectation that when
:08:01. > :08:03.they see parliament - well because... You have seen how they
:08:03. > :08:06.ruled before, why would you have every expectation? For the good
:08:06. > :08:11.reason I expect hen parliament gives a clear message by saying
:08:11. > :08:15.here are the immigration rules, we are emphasising this point, it is,
:08:15. > :08:18.of course, in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights,
:08:18. > :08:22.that it is possible to make this balance between relative rights.
:08:23. > :08:27.Indeed, I was looking at that, Home Secretary, because what you want
:08:27. > :08:31.and what the caveats are in Article 8 aren't the same thing. You want
:08:31. > :08:34.judges to take into account criminal offences, breaches of the
:08:34. > :08:40.immigration rules to get into our country, living on welfare while
:08:40. > :08:44.they've been here, not working. The caveats in clause 2 of Article 8
:08:44. > :08:48.are about the interests of national security, public safety, or the
:08:48. > :08:52.economic well-being of the country. They're not the same thing.
:08:52. > :08:57.it's rather broader than that as you see, as you look at the end of
:08:57. > :09:01.that it talks about the rights of others. So it isn't just very
:09:01. > :09:06.specific categories in Article 8.2. It's general in terms of the
:09:06. > :09:09.ability of a public authority to say we need to balance the
:09:09. > :09:13.individual rights of this person to a family life, against the rights
:09:13. > :09:17.of others in a whole variety of ways. One of the problems is it's
:09:17. > :09:20.always been a relative right in Article 8, rather than an absolute
:09:20. > :09:24.right but it's come to be interpreted in that more absolute
:09:24. > :09:27.sense. As things stand at the moment, though, once you put these
:09:27. > :09:31.statutory instruments down if the judges still continue to rule in
:09:31. > :09:35.the way they have there's not much you can do about it? If they do, as
:09:35. > :09:41.I say, if they do, I have every expectation they won't, if they do
:09:41. > :09:44.we will look at further measures. Is it true you said one judge ruled
:09:44. > :09:48.somebody couldn't be deported because they had a cat? Yes, that
:09:48. > :09:52.was a case reported. We just had a statement from the judiciary saying
:09:52. > :09:55.that's not true. Well, that was a case that was identified and that
:09:55. > :09:59.was reported. Have your researchers done homework on this because we
:09:59. > :10:03.have been told it didn't happen. Well, Andrew, I have not seen the
:10:03. > :10:08.statement that's come to you from the judiciary. Obviously, I would
:10:08. > :10:15.look at any statement about this. We will see if we can get it on air.
:10:15. > :10:19.Let me move on to police numbers, which is a big thing. Boris Johnson
:10:19. > :10:24.- first of all, he boasted of adding 1,000 extra police to the
:10:24. > :10:27.London constabulary, and then said I can tell you that as long as I am
:10:27. > :10:30.mayor I will not allow police numbers to fall below a level I
:10:30. > :10:34.believe is safe or reasonable. How can that be true for London, and
:10:34. > :10:37.not true for the rest of our country? Well, I don't think it is
:10:37. > :10:41.the case that it's only true for London and not for the rest of the
:10:41. > :10:46.country. He's adding 1,000, you are cutting 16,000. No, what is
:10:46. > :10:50.happening - I am sure you know this full well, Government sets central
:10:50. > :10:54.Government funding for the police. The police have a pre-set power.
:10:54. > :10:57.They can raise extra money locally and Chief Constables will decide
:10:58. > :11:02.within that budget how many police officers they wish to have. Now,
:11:02. > :11:05.obviously the mayor is, if you like, almost a police and crime
:11:05. > :11:08.commissioner, we have to make changes to bring them into line
:11:08. > :11:13.with the elected authorities that we will be introducing next
:11:13. > :11:17.November. But as mayor he is able to make decisions about how the
:11:17. > :11:22.budget he receives is spent. thinks to keep those of us safe in
:11:22. > :11:26.London who live there, he needed 1,000 extra police and he is going
:11:26. > :11:29.to keep it that way. You are going to - there will be a reduction in
:11:29. > :11:33.the number of police in the rest of the country. You both can't be
:11:33. > :11:37.right. Well, I am not quite sure I completely follow the point you are
:11:37. > :11:43.making. The point is quite simple. Let me make my point and you can
:11:43. > :11:47.come back. Every Chief Constable will be making a decision about how
:11:47. > :11:51.their budget is going to be spent and we have discussion with a
:11:52. > :11:53.Police Authority. In London there is a mayor, as well as the
:11:53. > :11:57.Metropolitan Police Authority. And Boris will be making decisions
:11:57. > :12:02.about how the budget will be spent and how he wishes what he dishes to
:12:02. > :12:06.do in terms of police -- wishes to do in terms of police numbers.
:12:06. > :12:10.There are Chief Constables in spite of cuts are making sure they have
:12:10. > :12:15.more police by changes to the way they police. There is a Chief
:12:15. > :12:20.Constable looking at recruiting more police officers outside London.
:12:20. > :12:23.So, people are looking within their budget at how they deploy their
:12:23. > :12:28.resources in terms of the number of police officers. Is it your
:12:28. > :12:33.contention that these cuts can be made without a reduction in the
:12:33. > :12:37.number of police we will see on our streets? It's my contention that
:12:37. > :12:40.the cuts can be made without affecting frontline services. We
:12:41. > :12:46.have heard Chief Constables up and down the country showing that's
:12:46. > :12:49.where they are putting a focus in terms of... Will there be more or
:12:49. > :12:54.fewer police on the streets after these cuts, because people want to
:12:54. > :12:58.see more. What I am doing is actually getting rid of some of the
:12:58. > :13:01.bureaucracy that will enable police to get out there on the streets.
:13:01. > :13:05.Will there be more police on the streets or fewer once the cuts have
:13:05. > :13:08.gone through? What I want to do is get rid of some of the things tying
:13:08. > :13:13.up the police and preventing them from getting out on the streets so
:13:13. > :13:20.they can get out on those streets. Police numbers, we saw the impact
:13:20. > :13:26.that had on the later nights of the riots. Since the riots, there's
:13:26. > :13:29.some anecdotal evidence that crimes in places like Croydon have
:13:29. > :13:35.drastically fallen. Do you have information on that? I haven't seen
:13:35. > :13:38.the latest crime figures for those areas. But, of course, what
:13:38. > :13:41.happened during the riots a number of people have been arrested
:13:41. > :13:45.following the riots and some of those were taken into custody, a
:13:45. > :13:48.significant number of people in custody and some sentenced. Does
:13:48. > :13:54.that suggest that contrary to the Justice Secretary, short sentences
:13:54. > :13:58.do work? Well, what Ken has been saying is that we need a suite of
:13:58. > :14:01.sentences, a variety of sentences that can be applicable at different
:14:01. > :14:10.times and different crimes. crime has fallen because the bad
:14:10. > :14:13.guys have been put away, if I can use the veracular that would
:14:13. > :14:17.suggest prison does work. We all think in Government that prison
:14:17. > :14:21.must work better. As he was talking today, there is a big issue about
:14:21. > :14:25.re-offending. If you look at the figures of those arrested in the
:14:25. > :14:29.riots, about three quarters of them had a previous criminal record. A
:14:29. > :14:32.quarter of them had more than ten previous offences. That tells us we
:14:32. > :14:35.are getting something wrong in terms of dealing with re-offending,
:14:35. > :14:39.that's what Ken has been talking. You don't know what's happened to
:14:39. > :14:43.crime since the riots in the areas where they happened because if you
:14:43. > :14:53.were in New York you would have daily figures on the spikes and
:14:53. > :14:54.
:14:54. > :14:58.Wouldn't you want to know, given where the riots took place, what
:14:58. > :15:02.has happened to crime since? What you're doing is giving an argument
:15:02. > :15:06.for our directly elected police and Crown Commissioners because the
:15:06. > :15:09.point in New York is that there is one person they're responsible for
:15:09. > :15:13.policing and the equivalent is Boris Johnson in London. But this
:15:13. > :15:17.is not about the election, it is about the system. If you do not
:15:17. > :15:21.know what has happened in Croydon, you have not got the system. Police
:15:21. > :15:25.forces will have different systems. I can assure you, talking to chief
:15:25. > :15:30.constables, they will be regularly looking at figures that are
:15:30. > :15:35.involved in crime in their area. Can I ask you, finally, on
:15:35. > :15:40.immigration, the party's policy on the election was to get a net
:15:40. > :15:48.immigration down to the tens of thousands. Into this and are made,
:15:48. > :15:53.it was 103,000, 196,002 1009, 239,000 in 2010. Will we see a
:15:53. > :15:57.reverse in that trend in 2011? expect we will see the figures
:15:57. > :16:03.coming down soon. As he will know, it takes time for any changes you
:16:03. > :16:07.put into the Immigration Rules to actually work their way through.
:16:07. > :16:10.This is the first year from April that we have had the full economic
:16:10. > :16:18.cap on migrants from outside the EU. The student fees are changes are
:16:18. > :16:22.only now being put into place. We are putting into place the measures
:16:22. > :16:26.that are necessary to bring down net migration. We have had the
:16:26. > :16:30.statement, the spokesman from the judiciary says "The basis of the
:16:30. > :16:37.decision was to uphold the original decision. The cat had nothing to do
:16:37. > :16:41.with the decision." You can follow through. The cat is free.
:16:41. > :16:46.Theresa May. If the Tories have a conference darling these days, it
:16:46. > :16:50.is undoubtedly Boris Johnson, something that infuriates the
:16:50. > :16:54.Cameron aficionados. Not long ago, gaffs used to follow him like night
:16:54. > :16:59.follows day but not now. He is seeking re-election next year and
:16:59. > :17:06.he may have his eye on and even higher prize. His message to
:17:06. > :17:12.conference today was clear and serious. I have spent a fair bit of
:17:12. > :17:16.the last two months tramping the streets of London, talking to
:17:16. > :17:21.hundreds of people caught up in the riots. Their businesses were
:17:21. > :17:25.attacked, what they were just appalled by what they have seen. I
:17:25. > :17:29.have a pretty good idea of what Londoners want. They want to make
:17:29. > :17:37.sure that nothing like this happens again.
:17:37. > :17:42.APPLAUSE I can tell you, as long as I am Mayer, I will not allow police
:17:42. > :17:48.numbers to fall below A-level that I believe is say for reasonable for
:17:48. > :17:52.a great city like London. -- below a level. Police numbers are up from
:17:52. > :18:02.one I was elected and the numbers of special constables has doubled.
:18:02. > :18:03.
:18:03. > :18:08.I pledge you that I'm going to keep it that way. And, yes, I think what
:18:08. > :18:13.Londoners once, talking to people, is for everyone together,
:18:13. > :18:18.politicians, police, teachers, parents, to sort out the underlying
:18:18. > :18:22.issues that cause these people to riots. At one of the best things to
:18:22. > :18:27.have come from those events is the fierce desire to help to bring
:18:27. > :18:33.communities together. And to show that those looters, those rioters
:18:33. > :18:38.do not stand for London. I tell you who did stand up for London. It was
:18:38. > :18:43.that man who sat on a looter's head, it was the woman who made a
:18:43. > :18:49.fantastic speech in Hackney and scared them away. Is she here? I do
:18:49. > :18:53.not know where she is. It was the restaurant workers who fought them
:18:53. > :18:59.off with a rolling pins and salt pans. It was the room brigade of
:18:59. > :19:09.Clapham that stood up for London. - - broom brigade. That's right,
:19:09. > :19:15.Clapham. In my view, those people represented the true spirit of
:19:15. > :19:20.London. Everything we do in City Hall is about putting the village
:19:20. > :19:24.back into the city. And we are on target to build a record 50,000
:19:24. > :19:28.affordable homes and we will do even more over the next four years,
:19:28. > :19:33.but we are also insisting on homes that are big enough for families
:19:33. > :19:39.with children, and rooms that are big enough for human beings, rather
:19:39. > :19:46.than hot bits. None of us are getting any smaller, as you may
:19:47. > :19:53.have noticed. But this time next year, this mayoralty, City Hall
:19:53. > :19:59.will have, partly by getting rid of Creasey communist systems, planted
:19:59. > :20:07.50,000 trees in London, and that is what I mean. We are putting the
:20:07. > :20:11.village back into the city. There is nothing more like a village than
:20:11. > :20:21.the sight of someone sailing elegantly past, bolt upright, on
:20:21. > :20:24.
:20:24. > :20:28.one of those big blue bicycles. The bikes are going west and east, and
:20:28. > :20:32.like some great tank movement, they are gathering themselves for
:20:32. > :20:36.research north and south. From next year, you will be able to go from
:20:36. > :20:39.Canary Wharf to Hammersmith, from Camden Town to Clapham, and guess
:20:39. > :20:49.how many were rooted in the disturbances? Guess how many?
:20:49. > :20:50.
:20:50. > :20:57.Anybody? How many? The answer is not three, not 10, but none. I do
:20:57. > :21:01.not know whether we should be flattered or insulted by that. The
:21:01. > :21:09.reality is that there was virtually only one thing safer than a bike
:21:09. > :21:13.hire stand in London and that was a bookshop. Boris Johnson. Health and
:21:13. > :21:19.education are being subjected to radical Tory Reform. Something that
:21:19. > :21:24.has not been without its controversies. Andrew Lansley
:21:24. > :21:28.responded to claims and today's papers that his plans for the NHS
:21:28. > :21:35.would cause irreversible harm. But first up, the Education Secretary,
:21:35. > :21:41.Michael Gove, trumpeting his school reforms. It was thanks to the
:21:41. > :21:45.election of a Tory Prime Minister that we now have 1000 academies
:21:45. > :21:53.opened. We inherited just 200 from Labour and we have increased the
:21:53. > :21:57.number massively. At the same time, we now have 1.2 million children
:21:57. > :22:00.benefiting from academy status, Academy education, and excellence
:22:00. > :22:07.in education. It is an achievement of which you should be proud.
:22:07. > :22:12.APPLAUSE New schools, but most importantly, a new attitude, for
:22:12. > :22:16.the entire education system. This government is unambiguously on the
:22:16. > :22:21.side of teachers. And we know that there are three things that are
:22:22. > :22:26.critical if we are going to support teachers in the work they do. The
:22:26. > :22:30.idealistic, inspiring, will change in work that they do. We need to
:22:30. > :22:35.back them on discipline and give them a set of exams which are fit
:22:35. > :22:38.for purpose. We need to make sure that they can take pride in their
:22:38. > :22:43.profession. For far too long, the technical, the vocational, the
:22:43. > :22:47.craft skills and the apprenticeship route has been undervalued. At last,
:22:47. > :22:51.the coalition government is making sure that those who pursue a
:22:51. > :22:54.vocational or technical course can hold their head up high with the
:22:55. > :23:02.same degree of pride as anyone who pursues an academic course.
:23:02. > :23:07.APPLAUSE We know that you cannot trust Labour on the NHS. In England,
:23:07. > :23:12.we are delivering for patients. Labour have used the NHS as a
:23:12. > :23:18.political football. We will not let them. We will always fight for our
:23:18. > :23:23.NHS. Today, I can tell you at conference, we will offer personal
:23:23. > :23:27.health budgets to the 50,000 people eligible for NHS continuing care,
:23:27. > :23:31.budgets that will give them more control over how their needs are
:23:31. > :23:35.met, allowing them to choose support and services that suits
:23:35. > :23:45.them and their families. Truly putting patients at the heart of
:23:45. > :23:45.
:23:45. > :23:50.care. APPLAUSE Labour, and their trade
:23:50. > :23:55.union Popat Masters can push out all the ludicrous lies they like.
:23:55. > :24:00.-- puppet masters. We will fight back with the lack -- with the
:24:00. > :24:05.facts. You know my commitment to the health service. While I am
:24:05. > :24:08.Secretary of State, the NHS will never be privatised or undermined.
:24:08. > :24:12.Two weeks ago when Birmingham at the Lib Dem conference, the air was
:24:12. > :24:17.thick with Tory bashing. There were times when it was hard to believe
:24:17. > :24:24.that the two parties were in the same coalition. Would the Tories
:24:24. > :24:34.retaliate in kind in Manchester? We smuggled lend them -- Lib Dem MP

:24:34. > :25:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds
:25:14. > :25:23.Don Foster into the conference to You wouldn't see these in a Lib Dem
:25:23. > :25:28.conference. I don't pretend you that these are not difficult days
:25:28. > :25:32.and that there are not difficult days ahead, but together, we will
:25:32. > :25:40.ride out the storm and together, we will move into the calmer, brighter
:25:40. > :25:45.sees beyond. Thank you. APPLAUSE That was really strange.
:25:45. > :25:49.I agree with everything George Osborne said. And yet he was not
:25:49. > :25:58.assured in the way he delivered it. Frankly, the audience did not like
:25:58. > :26:01.much of it. I'm just doing a bit of homework at the moment. One neuron,
:26:01. > :26:04.what do you think about the role of the Liberal Democrats in the
:26:04. > :26:08.coalition? They have been all right so far. They have been working well
:26:08. > :26:14.with the Conservatives. There has not been anything that Major to
:26:14. > :26:18.disrupt anything. Both parties are coming together, I think. I think
:26:18. > :26:24.as long as David Cameron is liberal and Nick Clegg is Conservative, it
:26:24. > :26:26.will last. I think they have done a good job in terms of choking off
:26:26. > :26:30.the harder-edged right-wing conservative elements of the
:26:30. > :26:34.government agenda. Therefore, it has had a benign effect. It is
:26:34. > :26:37.working particularly well. By have much admiration for many of the
:26:37. > :26:40.Liberal Democrats. The way that government ministers are talking
:26:40. > :26:50.about their work together seems very different from the impression
:26:50. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:06.that people like you and I get in It is hypocrisy of the people who
:27:06. > :27:11.tell you to cut spending are then imposing ever bigger demands on you
:27:11. > :27:15.to send them more money for spending which, by definition, is
:27:15. > :27:25.less essential in many cases than the spending at home in your
:27:25. > :27:25.
:27:25. > :27:29.domestic budgets. It is rather amazing, the Labour Party says that
:27:29. > :27:33.the coalition government is cutting two deep and too quickly, and now
:27:33. > :27:37.we have got the right wing of the Conservative Party saying that
:27:37. > :27:47.we're doing it too slowly and not enough. Probably suggesting we have
:27:47. > :27:53.
:27:53. > :27:57.got it about right. A back Boris T- shirt? I think not. But thank you.
:27:57. > :28:01.Well, it is the end of the day and they have all gone off to enjoy
:28:01. > :28:05.themselves in the bar. I have certainly enjoyed myself. I have
:28:05. > :28:09.convinced myself that I'm certainly not a Tory but very many of the
:28:09. > :28:15.Conservatives here seem to think that the coalition is continuing to
:28:15. > :28:19.work well. So why did not need these after all. And that is it for
:28:19. > :28:23.Manchester. Tomorrow, all eyes will be on David Cameron, who must use
:28:23. > :28:27.his annual address to the Tory faithful to lift their spirits
:28:27. > :28:32.because they are in need of some up left. And to convince the wider
:28:32. > :28:37.public that he has the leadership and vision to see the country
:28:37. > :28:43.through these tough times. And that, we're told, is exactly what he will
:28:43. > :28:47.attempt to do. Joel will be with me here in Manchester tomorrow and we
:28:47. > :28:49.will bring you not one but two daily conference -- Daily Politics
:28:49. > :28:53.conference Specials, starting at conference Specials, starting at
:28:53. > :28:57.noon with the build up to the speech. We will be back at 2:00pm
:28:57. > :29:01.on BBC Two when we will bring you that David Cameron speech, live and
