Hundreds of Lib Dem activists sang "F*** you! I won't do what you tell me" at a conference disco last night, as MPs and peers looked on.

The angry rendition of Rage Against The Machine's "Killing in the Name" came at the climax of Lib Dem Disco, where party activists and MPs dance the night away on the first night of conference.

Last night saw Farron, education spokesperson Layla Moran and deputy leader Jo Swinson attend the event.

The former party leader tried his hand at DJing - spinning an impressive and well-recieved set of indie dancefloor classics, including the Strokes, the Smiths and Duran Duran.

But he was narrowly defeated in the popular vote for the annual DJ contest by activist Daisy Benson.

Speaking after his defeat, Farron told the Mirror: "It's very Lib Dem to be the best and still not win."
