From the gag of the day, to the party’s villain – here are the highlights from the Tory conference

The Conservative Party Conference is underway in Birmingham - a big one for the party, as it is Theresa May's first as PM, and the first since the Brexit vote.

Here, our Westminster Correspondent rounds up the highlights from the second day.

• MYSTERY surrounds which top Tory had a £100 per hour stylist from celeb hairdresser Nicky Clarke’s salon visit their hotel – and even gave them an expensive hotel security pass.
• MEANWHILE, the PM’s hirsute adviser Nick Timothy refuses to shave off his massive beard to avoid attention and obvious Rasputin comparisons and after initially trimming it, is growing it again.
• TORY whips were sent to spy on outspoken Mrs May critic Nicky Morgan at a fringe meeting, but as a former whip herself she called them out: “Gentlemen, I know what it’s like, I’ve been there, so very nice to have you here.”
• CHANCELLOR Philip Hammond showed a wry sense of humour: “Ed Balls was not their first choice for Strictly. They were going to ask Corbyn – but then they discovered he’s got two left feet.” It’s how he tells them.
