The House of Commons will rise from September 15 to October 12 to allow MPs the chance to attend their conferences, although Reform has announced its own event will be September 3-5.

Andy Burnham will be Labour's keynote speaker and the Prime Minister will deliver his first such address to members at their conference in Liverpool.

Nigel Farage will give the Reform speech in Birmingham, unless he is beaten in the upcoming Clacton by-election and subsequently challenged for party leadership.

Here are all of the dates that have been announced by mainstream parties so far.
