Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch delivered her keynote speech on Wednesday at the party's conference in Birmingham, outlining what she described as a path back to power. The strategic focus of her agenda is the economy.

Mrs Badenoch's proposals include commitments to cut taxes, primarily for upper-middle and high-income families, alongside pledges to increase spending on defence and prison places. She also aims to reduce the national debt.

According to Mrs Badenoch, these plans are affordable due to £70bn of "savings" that the Conservatives claim to have identified. These savings are expected to come from cuts to the civil service, regulators, and working-age benefits.
