Boris Johnson addressed the Conservative party conference while brandishing a brick on Tuesday.

The brick, which came from an Ibstock brick factory in Newcastle-under-Lyme, whose success was made possible, said Mr Johnson, by the Tories鈥� Help to Buy policy, was used by the London mayor to illustrate his commitment to building new homes.

Addressing the brick directly Mr Johnson said: 鈥淏rick, you will not be alone鈥�, before adding that 1 billion more would be needed.

A report by the Huffington Post that the brick has since defected to UKIP has not yet been confirmed.
