So, what's happening this afternoon? Health and education, mainly. Nicky Morgan, at her first conference since being promoted to education secretary, is up first. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will follow. He will outlined plans to ensure seven-days-a-week GP access in England. Things start again at 14:30 BST.

Boris Johnson exits the stage after a conference-pleasing speech, bringing this morning's session to a close. Delegates will break for lunch until 14:30 BST, returning for speeches from the health and education secretaries.

Boris Johnson calls on Conservatives to "unite" and "take the fight to the unrepentant unreconstructed, semi-Marxist Miliband and Balls". He says activists should be "proud" of what the Conservatives have achieved and insists the party can "win big" in 2015. "Let us Conservatives get on with our work of unleashing the talents of the people of this country and the most dynamic economy in Europe."

David Cameron is among the first party members to stand and applaud Boris Johnson.

A lot of bus stops in Las Vegas are made in London, apparently. More specifically, in the London Borough of Hillingdon - which is in the Uxbridge constituency that Boris Johnson is hoping to represent in Parliament.

Boris Johnson says the UK is a leader in tech industries and manufacturing - telling the hall we are on the verge of becoming the second biggest car manufacturer in Europe, which is "astounding".

Another joke from Boris Johnson, on fisheries policy: "Chuck Salmond overboard and then eat the kippers for breakfast." He pledges the Conservatives will take the fight to UKIP in the upcoming by-elections prompted by two Conservative MPs' defections.

On to the EU now, and Boris Johnson says the only man in Europe who can achieve the change the UK needs is David Cameron - cue cheers and applause from the audience. He has the natural authority and the leadership to lead the UK into 2015 and beyond, he adds.

The London mayor says more than 408 firms in the capital now pay the living wage. He stresses this has not been achieved by compulsion but by showing them it is the right thing to do. That is Conservative approach, Boris Johnson adds.
