«Breaking News» Johnson lands at Tory conference ahead of speech

Boris Johnson landed at Tory conference today as he prepares to throw another hand grenade into the party's Brexit civil war. 

The former foreign secretary was greeted by a praetorian guard of supportive MPs as he arrived at the gathering in Birmingham. 

Mr Johnson is due to deliver a speech at a fringe event later in which he will mount another searing attack on the PM's Chequers plan for Brexit - as well as accusing her of trying to 'ape' Jeremy Corbyn's left-wing policies. 

A clearly tetchy Mrs May was repeatedly grilled over her rival's manoeuvring during a round of interviews earlier - but tried to ignore the questions by talking about her other priorities.

With a grim smile, Mrs May said she expected Mr Johnson's speech to be a 'lively event'.

But she insisted she was focused on improving opportunities for young people and delivering her Brexit deal.

Downing Street made a bold bid to distract from the circus around Mr Johnson today by unveiling the government's post-Brexit immigration policies, saying EU nationals will in future be treated the same as people from all around the world.

Mrs May herself will not be watching Mr Johnson's intervention as she is due to be doing interviews. 

Meanwhile, the PM's allies launched a series of vicious barbs at the ambitious politician - with one bald MP joking that he would be 'washing my hair' rather than watching Mr Johnson speak.

In his speech Mr Johnson will also hit back at Philip Hammond for planning to increase taxes and accuse him of abandoning 'Conservative values'. 

The Chancellor sent a clear signal yesterday that next month's Budget will include tax rises to pay for a multi-billion pound planned rise in NHS spending.

But Mr Johnson will return fire, saying the party should 'follow our conservative instincts' and focus on core Tory issues such as law and order and tax cuts to beat Labour at the next election.

'In what allies openly described as an alternative leader's speech, he will suggest the party has moved too far to the Left and should instead take 'basic conservative ideas and fit them to the problems of today'.

Mrs May appeared not to know exactly when Mr Johnson was speaking as she referred to an 'evening' event when he is actually due on stage at 1pm

Mr Johnson left his Oxfordshire home for the conference centre in Birmingham this morning

Couched as an attack on Mr Corbyn, Mr Johnson's speech contains a series of barely disguised barbs at the Prime Minister and her Chancellor.

He will say the Tories must not 'lose our faith in competition and choice and markets' or follow the Labour leader and 'treat capitalism as a kind of boo word'. 

Mr Johnson will tell the Conservative Home event: 'We can't lose our faith in competition and choice and markets but we should restate the truth that there is simply no other system that is so miraculously successful in satisfying human wants and needs.

'We should set our taxes to stimulate investment and growth.

'We should be constantly aiming not to increase but to cut taxes. It is the conservative approach that gets things done so let's follow our conservative instincts.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
