Young Tories attending the Conservative Party conference hit the bars and pubs of Manchester for a night of revelry yesterday.
Tory aides and researchers were quaffing gin and tonics until the early hours at the luxury Midland Hotel, where many party delegates are staying.
Many Conservative MPs and ministers let their hair down by dancing the night away at a karaoke night laid on at the conference centre.

Several politicians took to the stage to belt out their favourite tunes as hundreds of conference-goers cheered them on from the dance floor.
Other delegates seemed to enjoy a ‘lookalike’ of Prime Minister Theresa May outside the G-A-Y club in the city.
Tory MP James Cleverly seized the microphone twice to entertain the dancing crowd. He first took to the stage to deliver a stomping performance of The Beatles classic Twist and Shout.
And he hit the stage again later to perform a duet of Don’t Go Breaking My Heart with fellow Tory MP Kelly Tolhurst.

Culture minister Matt Hancock joined in the fun by delivering a very exuberant rendition Queen’s hit Don’t Stop Me Now as the merry crowd joined in the chorus.
While Tory MP Nigel Evans delivered a rendition of Tom Jones’s Delilah, and Scottish Secretary David Mundell delivered The Proclaimers’ hit 500 Miles.
Culture Secretary Karen Bradley was among the many Tory MPs who were dancing and cheering their fellow parliamentarians from the front.
Around 200 people were there – cocktails, red and white plonk, gin and tonics and cans of craft lager flowed. And after dancing until the early hours of the morning many continued the night by hitting The Midland hotel bar.

Among the cocktails on the menu were: Confidence and supply, Brenda’s ‘There’s too much politics’ and Westminster bubble.
It comes after it was revealed yesterday that a couple had sex in a toilet at the conference after they were overheard by former minister Nicky Morgan.
The former education minister was doing her make-up in the ladies bathroom when she heard ‘groans and giggles’ coming from behind the cubical door in a toilet in the Midland.
Mrs Morgan, chairwoman of the influential Treasury Select Committee, brushed off questions about it, telling PoliticsHome: ‘I have no idea about some of what goes on at Tory conference and I have no intention of asking!’
