Coughing fit, prankster ambush and slogan mishap - @StephenNolan asks local Tory Frank Shivers for reaction to PM speech

Oct 05, 2017, 10:06 AM

What next for the Prime Minister? Theresa May struggled to deliver her speech to the Conservative Party Conference after a series of coughing fits, repeatedly struggling with her voice. Her Chancellor Philip Hammond tried to assist by giving her a cough sweet, but it didn't really work. To make matters worse, a prankster ambushed her with a fake P-45, and letters from the party slogan on the wall behind fell off while she was talking. There was praise from some for the Prime Minister's resilience. She even managed to find some humour and make some quips during the address. NI Conservative Frank Shivers is just back from the Tory conference, he joined Stephen this morning.
