Husband hugs leader after gruelling speech

Philip May hugged his wife Theresa consolingly on stage at the end of her gruelling and difficult speech to the Tory conference.

Mrs May smiled gleefully and gave a thumbs up to delegates as her husband hopped on to the stage with open arms and embraced her. She patted her throat, and Mr May placed his hand on her back.

She paired the dress with shoes from the Russell & Bromley, who gave her a discount card this year. She also wwore a bracelet which appeared to feature the late painter and communist Frida Kahlo, who was romantically linked to Marxist revolutionary Leon Trotsky.
