While praising Boris Johnson, who often reminisces about his own rugby days, David Cameron tells delegates about his position on the field: "I was a hooker." 

He adds that this is a factual statement, and not a chapter of Lord Ashcroft's unauthorised biography of the prime minister.  

David Cameron sets out the need to confront extremism. It makes him "sick to my stomach" when he reads what "some young people born and brought up in this country are doing".

The UK must "tear up the narrative that says Muslims are persecuted and the West deserves what it gets", take on violent and non-violent extremism "in all its forms", and tackle segregation, Mr Cameron adds.

The Conservative leader says discrimination based on faith, gender, race, sexuality or disability is unacceptable, and adds "you can’t have true opportunity without real equality.":

But education isn't the only barrier to social mobility, David Cameron continues. He says people with white-sounding names on their CVs "are nearly twice as likely to get call backs for jobs than people with ethnic-sounding names".

Britain has the lowest social mobility in the developed world, David Cameron tells the conference, with the salary people earn "more linked to what your father got paid than in any other major country".

"We cannot accept that," he tells the assembled crowd. He says education is the "springboard to opportunity" and praises the free schools and academies movement, and pledges: 

David Cameron makes the case for prisons reform, saying the current system isn't working. He says crimes must be punished - with prison sentences for the most serious offences - but says nearly half of criminals re-offend and many go into prison, and leave, uneducated.

Children in care are almost guaranteed to live in poverty, says David Cameron. And he says care leavers are four times more likely to commit suicide than anyone else. He adds:

A bit more from the housing pledge and the "dramatic shift in housing policy in our country":

David Cameron underlines the need to tackle the "root causes" of poverty in Britain. He says a teenager sitting their GCSEs is more likely to own a smartphone than have a Dad living with them, and says that three babies born in Britain every day are addicted to heroin.

"We will never deal with poverty unless we get to grips with these issues," he tells the halls.

Mr Cameron highlights the work of the Troubled Families' Programme, and says the best route out of poverty is work. But work has also got to pay, he adds - as he praises the new national living wage.

David Cameron is cheered by delegates at the Conservative conference as he attacks the new Labour leader over his stance on UK defence. 

The prime minister said of Jeremy Corbyn: "We cannot let that man inflict his security-threatening, terrorist-sympathising, Britain-hating ideology on this country we love."

Economic success is "the foundation on which we can build a better society", says David Cameron as he sets out his aims for social reform.

In a message to critics, he adds; "We are going to tackle those big social problems – just you watch us."

David Cameron congratulates the Conservatives' new London mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith and then pays tribute to Boris Johnson, London Mayor who has "served this country... this party". Mr Johnson, in the crowd, receives a lengthy standing ovation.
