TORY leadership contenders made their final conference pitches, seeking to outbid each other in anti-migrant sentiment, bellicosity and fealty to Israel.

The four candidates took to the stage in Birmingham to outline their perspectives for reviving the battered Conservative Party, aiming their appeals at the party’s reactionary membership rather than the wider public.

The 121 Tory MPs will whittle the list down to just two over the next week, who will then go to a ballot of the Tory membership.
