I was also in the audience and have written a bit about my take on the "conspiracy" on my blog http://miserableoldfart.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/right-wing-bloger-becomes-most-left.html . My take is the same as Alun's, there were plenty of right wingers there, but they were just too miserable to cheer on their own leaders.

I turned up late because I went into town to get something to eat, so I was probably arriving at the same time as the Tory supporters.
