We have known for some months that the Federal Board was going to decide at its May meeting what to do with Federal Conference in Brighton this Autumn. Last night they discussed the matter looking at feedback from party committees and staff as well as a consultation exercise carried out in March. They had a lot to consider. What if Rishi Sunak called the General Election and we ended up having our Conference in the short campaign?

Christine Jardine was on Any Questions last night along with Ann Widdecombe (representing the Reform Party), Thangam Debonnaire and Sir Robert Buckland. She travelled to Bridgwater in Somerset. The first question was on whether we should have closer relations with the EU, following this week’s news from Northern Ireland and the fourth anniversary of Brexit. Christine said that Northern Ireland is a very special case and we should welcome this week’s agreement as a starting point.
