Not the way to warm up an audience

Nadine Dorries 1:55pm

Standing in the press gallery waiting to go into the 5 Live bubble. Just finished BBC, Anglia and Sky. The BBC make up woman has made me look like the cookie monster!
 
Conservative conference goers are creatures of habit. They like to go into the auditorium in the morning, put their towel on a seat and then come back later for the leaders speech.

Not allowed this year it seems. Everyone has been chucked out of the auditorium and made to queue outside to re-enter.

The queue is twice round the Winter Gardens and it is a queue of very unhappy people. This is not a good start!

Nadine Dorries, the Tory MP for Mid-Bedfordhshire, will be blogging for Coffee House during conference.
