The interim chair of the Conservatives will say he is 'deeply sorry' for the Tories' election humiliation in July as he opens their first conference in opposition for 15 years. Richard Fuller will tell delegates in Birmingham that the parliamentary party "needs to learn and has to change", and is also expected to announce details of a review into the general election.
Mr Fuller is expected to say: "I am profoundly sorry to you, the members of the Conservative Party. "To our activists. To our current and former councillors, police and crime commissioners and mayors who found their strong local records of service were dominated by negative national headlines."To Conservative voters and to the country at large for the consequence: a reckless, ideological socialist government with a huge majority based on a paltry share of the electorate.
