Proud to attend Conservative Friends of Ukraine at #CPC24 Great to hear very supportive Conservative MPs like @TomTugendhat but also some Ukrainian MPs from across the political spectrum coming to speak We must support our allies Ukraine, Israel and others. @Conservatives

Absolute nonsense. #cpc24 has been by far the busiest Conservative Party Conference since I started attending in 2017. And far from strange it's been a very upbeat Conference and full of discussion about our future direction as a party
