News / UK and world by Press Association September 29, 2018, 12:04 am FacebookTwitterLinkedInWhatsAppEmail Sign up to our Daily newsletter The Conservative Party’s annual conference begins this weekend in Birmingham. Here are some of the things to watch out for: – Brexit is dominating the conference season with just weeks to go before a deal needs to be reached with the EU, so be prepared for some furious public bust-ups between members of the hardline Brexiteer and pro-Remain wings of the party. – Boris Johnson, who has a lot of support among the rank and file, has been ramping up his opposition to the Chequers proposal and is unlikely to quietly arrive through a back door – the former foreign secretary will give a speech at a ConservativeHome fringe event on Tuesday. – Theresa May takes to the main stage for her keynote leader’s speech on Wednesday, easily the trickiest of her term in office so far, with a party at war all … [Read more...] about What to look out for at the Conservative Party conference
