Parents of children of all ages should be able to ask to work flexible hours, says Conservative leader David Cameron.

Boris Johnson has taken a swipe at Jamie Oliver's school dinners campaign saying the pressure on children to eat healthy food is "too much".

Shadow chancellor George Osborne says he is ready to take on Conservatives who are demanding tax cuts with the pledge: "We will not back down."

The UK underestimates the threat to its future security posed by Russia, shadow defence secretary Liam Fox has warned.

The number of Tory MPs who want to withdraw from the EU is growing, claims Euro-sceptic MP Philip Davies.

Parliament should get the final say on sending British troops to war, says shadow foreign secretary William Hague.

David Cameron's attempt to harness the power of the internet through his Webcameron blog has led to opponents setting up a spoof rival site.

English MPs must have the final say on laws which affect England alone in this post-devolution era, according to Conservative leader David Cameron.

Conservative activists have voted overwhelmingly against a motion claiming that alcohol does more harm than drugs.

Tory Chairman Francis Maude was less than impressed by a Daily Mirror story saying he headed a firm which has invested in a porn star's "hardcore empire". The piece revealed that Mr Maude is the non-executive chairman of Jubilee Investment Trust plc, which it said had bought into "busty" Jill Kelly's dirty DVD business. The official response from Mr Maude, who is helping the Tories shed their old "sleazy" image remarked, was "it's not my company". What he actually said to colleagues after reading the story was: "Well, that was dull." What an exciting life he must lead.

As the queue nightmare continued for some delegates, who better to rally the troops - or the "refugees" as they have inevitably been dubbed - than former army captain Iain Duncan Smith? When news reached Tory high command that people marooned outside the conference centre without a pass were, understandably, getting a little restless, they sent in the "quiet man" to quieten them down....

Tory workers were also handing out umbrellas with the party's new 'oak tree' logo on them and bottles of water to conference refugees. Something tells us that will not be enough.

The text messages that flash up on the screen from delegates in the main hall are an endless source of amusement. "The state must not control our people" declared one delegate during the crime debate, while another had more local concerns: "Police should spend more time on the streets in Plymouth". But our favourite remains "Jamie Oliver in the Cabinet. Pukka". Not everyone is sharing David Cameron's joy at the birth of his video weblog, the catchily titled Webcameron. "I am furious," says Ann Widdecombe, "I was about to launch Wideo Video." At the same fringe meeting, Miss Widdecombe - among the first MPs to have her own website - steadfastly fended off calls from Iain Dale to start blogging. She insists she hasn't got the time. She also threw her hands up in horrror at the idea of electronic voting in parliament - as it would rob her off the opportunity to lie in wait for ministers and opposition spokesmen in the voting lobbies...

Give him a crowd - and with Boris Johnson there is always a crowd - and you're guaranteed the full treatment. It was packed to the rafters for Boris' first fringe appearance in Bournemouth and he did not disappoint. First target - those safety seats for children in cars, a regulation he says is "utterly demented". "When I was growing up we all bounced around like peas in a rattle - did it do us any harm?," the higher education spokesman declares, before laying into A-level students - "We need to re-introduce our children to the concept of failure.." And then Jamie Oliver. "I say let people eat what they like. Why shouldn't they push pies through the railings?" After grovelling to Liverpool and Papua New Guinea for past offences Boris has decided "I'm not doing any more apologising". But neither is he treading carefully.

Much discussion in the Tory blogosphere about the "split" on tax - with many arguing it is a media invention.

Dizzy says: "Whilst the split doesn't really exist, the media's decision to play this up as Cameron against the Old Guard works in our favour. After all, as a party we don't have a Clause IV to have a "moment" around."

On Conservative Home Graham Smith points the finger firmly at the BBC, noting that the "row" reported on the six o'clock TV bulletin was later downgraded to a "disagreement".

But Wat Tyler, also on Conservative Home suggests there is something more to the story than bored journalists in search of a story.

"We look forward to George's platform speech, where members will be eager for him to explain how government can possibly make Britain more competitive without cutting taxes," he writes.

The battle to get accreditation overshadowed the start of conference for many

"The papers claim David Cameron wants us to hug a hoodie. Well I support that. The only difference between David and me is that I might just hug a little harder. And a little longer."
Shadow home secretary David Davis in his conference speech.
