"Reform UK members and party activists are queuing up at this year's conference to purchase party branded football shirts, emblazoned with the names of MPs and key party figures. The shirts, which are flying off the shelves, are being sold for 40 - or particularly keen activists can buy two for 75. For those who wanted something cheaper there were 15 caps or football terrace themed scarves to cheer on their top team."
"Sources suggested Friday's changes had given the Government a renewed sense of purpose, and the Prime Minister will now hope he can move on from a difficult week as he prepares for Labour's party conference at the end of the month and the Budget in November.

But several suggested to they had been rocked by Ms Rayner's departure, saying they were gutted or depressed by the turn of events."
Reform UK conference attendees queued to buy football-style party-branded shirts emblazoned with MPs' and key party figures' names. Shirts sold for 40 each or two for 75, while cheaper options included 15 caps and football terrace-themed scarves. The football-style merchandise proved popular and sold quickly.
