Mayor of London Boris Johnson has made his second triumphant appearance at the Tory party conference within 24 hours.
The Mayor of London was given a hero's welcome in Birmingham on Monday night and there was similar chaos as he arrived for his key speech today. Despite revelling in the attention, Mr Johnson insisted that he is completely loyal to the PM and praised him for taking "difficult decisions in difficult times".
Boris electrified the Party conference with a rousing speech of optimism, a "can-do" attitude of Britain and "magna carta" grasping education for all, including future prime ministers. The mix of humour, sarcasm for Labour, Olympian reminders of what Britain can achieve, specific plans for the future and visibly professed loyalty for David Cameron's government went down well with the captivated audience. With so much enthusiasm for him, and his graceful gestures to David Cameron ("Happy Birthday, Dave!") Boris Johnson appeared more premier league than ever before.
Earlier, David Cameron claimed that he does not envy Mr Johnson's "rock star status" as he was repeatedly asked if the adulation for his fellow Tory bothered him.
