Next up is the first address from one of the holders a great office of state.
We're now hearing from the leader of the Scottish Conservatives Douglas Ross and Scotland Secretary Alister Jack in quick succession.He begins by stressing the Conservative Party is the"only party you can trust to stand up for Scotland's oil" - after news that the Rosebank oil and gas field will go ahead;To applause, he says:"For years we were told that she was unstoppable, that she could do no wrong.
He says the SNP and their"Green coalition masters" are"dragging" the country down, with talk of removing Scotland from the UK"pure fantasy"; On oil and gas, he says the government is"clear" it should start to use its"own resources" as we begin to move towards net zero; Mr Jack then says the"era of devolve and forget" is well and truly over, saying:"It is not coming back under my watch"; "Quite simply, we achieve more together," he concludes.Away from the main stage at Conservative Party conference for the moment...
He says the Welsh government, run by Labour, is motivated by an"extreme ideology" and blasts the changes to 20mph speed limits in many areas across the country; He says more roads need to be built to"ease congestion" and calls on Labour"to end its absurd 20mph blanket speed limit on Welsh roads which its own analysis has warned will hit the economy by more than £4bn";He then praises the Conservative government's record during the pandemic and for standing up for Ukraine;
He then takes aim at Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, saying his position on"all sorts of policies" changes"more than a weather vane"; He calls on the party to support the candidates in the upcoming by-elections in Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire; The Tory chair moves to pay tribute to the late Sir David Amess, who was murdered during a constituency surgery in 2021;
And he did thank her for"having the courage to have some engagement, limited as it might have been" amid the ongoing dispute over pay and conditions.
