[The Conservatives head to Manchester for an unconventional party conference.
After opposition MPs vetoed plans for a conference recess,
the Tories will meet while parliament sits.
No 10 is bullish that it will not let opposition MPs ruin its moment.
Expect cars and helicopters on standby to ferry politicians at the last minute if a surprise vote is called.
With a working majority in the region of -40, Conservative MPs are fairly sanguine about the practicalities.
‘Frankly, it doesn’t matter if we are in London or Manchester. We can’t win votes even
if we are all in Westminster,’ says one cabinet minister. Ministers and MPs
are determined to use the conference to set out their agenda ahead of an
early election that they still expect to take place this year.]
