A “drunk” Conservative Party delegate reportedly urinated in a plant pot at Manchester’s Midland Hotel before falling and smashing it.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the delegate was at the four-star hotel on Peter Street on Monday night after having some drinks.
In the foyer of the hotel, there was an expensive pot which the delegate chose to urinate in.

The newspaper reports that the aftermath was witnessed by a group of senior emergency officers, who were in the vicinity carrying out a safety and risk assessment of the area around the conference centre.
The delegate was not arrested and the Manchester Evening News reports that the man agreed to settle with the hotel and cover the cost of the damage.
A spokesman for the Conservative Party said: “It is not something we would want to comment on.”
The Midland has been contacted for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
