Conservatives will promise to get Brexit done, launch manifesto-friendly policies and attack CorbynA defiant Boris Johnson will use this weekend’s Tory conference in Manchester to double down on his “people v parliament” rhetoric, after a tumultuous week in which he was accused of dangerously inflaming political tensions. They say the slogan “people v privilege”, trailed at Labour conference in Brighton, strikes a chord with voters in focus groups. Meanwhile opposition MPs hoping to thwart Boris Johnson’s Brexit strategy will spend next week working on a fresh anti no-deal action plan. However, they insist they will not seek to wreck the Tory conference by attempting to take over the order paper, or table new laws and emergency debates. Johnson's second call for an early general election is supported by 293 MPs, still short of the two-thirds majority required.
