Here comes David Cameron's housing pledge (read more about the ‘starterhomes’ programme here). He says housing is the "big unfinished business" in the economy - arguing that more families should be able to own their own home.

He also cites plans, announced at the election, to extend the Right to Buy scheme to housing associations, saying the first homes will be able to be bought under the scheme from next year.

David Cameron recalls his feelings waking up in Downing Street on the morning of the election result to discover that Ed Balls and Nigel Farage had lost their contests. 

He suggested the pollsters and pundits had not correctly called the result, by explaining: "Britain and Twitter are not the same thing."

"Labour's ideas don't help the poor, they hurt the poor," says David Cameron. In a message to his political rivals, he adds: "That’s right, Labour: you’re not for working people, but hurting people. If you want a lecture about poverty, ask Labour. If you want something done about it, come to us, the Conservatives."

David Cameron says his opponents have given up "any sensible, rational" arguments on the economy, criticising Labour's plan to renationalise industries such as the railways and to "print money".

The Conservatives' success in growing the economy and winning the economic arguments "have never been more vital".

"Britain is not interested in 'ever closer union' – and I will put that right," pledges David Cameron.

David Cameron turns his attention to the subject of Europe. He says the EU has got "too big and too bossy". But it's also the biggest single market in the world, he adds - as he restates his case for reforming the way the bloc works.

He praises the UK's role in Europe, saying Britain got the bloc to open trade talks with America and to agree to sanctions on Iran, "which brought that country to the negotiating table".

David Cameron highglights the government's commitment to spending 2% of national income on defence, and to renewing Britain's nuclear weapons system. Labour is to hold a review of its policy on Trident, with leader Jeremy Corbyn in favour of scrapping Trident.

Turning to the refugee and migrant crisis, David Cameron commends the UK's aid programme which he says has been helping Syrian refugees.

But he says the long-term solution to the crisis in the war-torn country is "lies in helping countries like Syria become places where people actually want to live".

"That means having a government that’s not terrorising its people – and that’s why Assad must go," he says.

David Cameron opens his conference speech by recalling some of the seats won at the general election, and he tells delegates: "We will not let you down."  

Attacking Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, David Cameron quotes the Labour leader as saying he thinks" the death of Osama bin Laden was a 'tragedy'." That's not a tragedy, the PM tells conference, the 9/11 terrorist attack was.

In a sentence that goes down very well with the party, who rise to their feet and applaud, he urges: "We cannot let that man inflict his security-threatening, terrorist-sympathising, Britain-hating ideology on the country we love."

Focusing his remarks on terrorism, David Cameron says some of the loneliest moments in the job comes when he reads intelligence on plots to harm Britain.

He defends the UK drone attack on British nationals Reyaad Khan and Junaid Hussain "who were in Syria planning terrorist attacks on UK soil".
