7 most Tory things we've seen at the Conservative Party Conference 2022

Liz Truss's political honeymoon is well and truly over.

On day two of Conservative party conference the Prime Minister has already tried to throw her Chancellor under the bus.

And disruptor-in-chief Michael Gove appears to have kicked off so much chaos the PM made an astonishing U-turn over the 45p rate tax cut.

But amidst all the chaos in the headlines, a sense of superficial calm remains at the Birmingham conference centre, where on the surface all things blue remain in harmony.

The official merchandise shop offers Tory members an array of cufflinks and mugs, while one bar only sells champagne.

Here are some of the most Tory things on sale this year...

Two fancy shirts for only £79.95

There might be an ongoing cost of living crisis but Tory delegates have been offered tha chance to buy two shirts only for an eye-watering £79.95.

There's an array of colours on sale, including pink for those looking to make a statement at fringe events.

Conservative members have stormed the Birmingham conference centre with sharp tailored suits and crisp ironed shirts.

Thatcher Theatre

Margaret Thatcher's legacy is alive and well at the conference centre.

Conference kicked off at the Thatcher Theatre on Sunday with an introductory session for delegates on what will be happening over the next few days - a U-turn on the 45p tax rate cut was not on the cards at this point.

The theatre has certainly not been used to repeat Thatcher's long known phrase, "this lady is not for turning".

Cufflinks in the shape of the Conservative's famous oak tree were on sale for £20 alongside Tory blue sillk tie's being sold for £34.95.

Tory conference is known for its sea of blue suits, ties and of course cufflinks.

Perhaps members wanting to show their party a bit of extra support amid the chaos will opt to give these a showing.
