It’s the penultimate day of the Conservatives’ conference in Birmingham, where the final four leadership hopefuls are vying for attentions of the party faithful.

Yesterday, we looked at the free ‘merch’ being offered on candidates’ stalls - those friendship bracelets and fake tan - but will these multiple charm offensives translate into votes?

Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly, Robert Jenrick and Tom Tugendhat have been fielding questions from voting party members at conference events ahead of the leadership race.

So, is anyone edging ahead - and who’s got the best offer for London?

We’re joined from Birmingham by The Standard’s political editor Nicholas Cecil, who reports developments from the leadership race and recent revelations in the memoir of Tory grandee Lord Brady.

In part two, The Standard’s transport editor Ross Lydall examines proposals for a £4.5 million cycleway running through the City of London, including Bank junction, to provide an alternative to the CS3 cycle superhighway.
