With the party conference season in full swing, the boredom is sure to set in. Hours of irrelevant speeches made by identikit politicians is enough to send anyone to sleep. But delegates to this year's Tory party bash have a range of entertainment options to choose from. They're being offered a £10 discount voucher for a lap dancing club, 'conveniently' situated just metres away from the International Convention Centre in Birmingham where party faithful are due later ithis month.

The discount voucher comes inside a booklet given to party members together with other official party conference information - despite the Tories, only two months ago, saying that communities should be given more powers to block the opening of lap dancing clubs. Cameron's troops are invited to the Rocket Club, "an exclusive gentlemen's entertainment venue" which offers "up to 50 of the world's most beautiful girls from around the world." Not every Tory is, er, up for this however: "Can you imagine what our old ladies are going to make of it if they turn up there by mistake?" asked former prisons minister Ann Widdecombe.

But most members (fnarr, fnarr) will be interested in the deal says club owner Allan Sartori. He's planning for a surge in business during the conference - and he has even opened a VIP room for politicians for when they get too 'tired and emotional'.
