The Prime Minister is set to face questions over the future of HS2 and further calls to set out tax cuts while in Manchester.
The Prime Minister was dealt a blow on the eve of conference when it was revealed that Richard Walker, the executive chairman of Iceland supermarket, had quit the party.
His comments follow his recent decision to water down net zero commitments and an announcement that he was “slamming the brakes on the war on motorists” by producing a slew of pro-driving policies. Some of the places being awarded the funding are part of the so-called Red Wall — constituencies in Labour’s traditional heartlands of the North of England and the Midlands that Boris Johnson won for the Tories during his landslide election victory in 2019 — which Mr Sunak will need to hold at the next election to remain in No 10.
Ahead of the conference, Theresa May became the third former Tory prime minister to urge him not to scale back the major transport project following interventions from Boris Johnson and, according to reports, David Cameron. Home Secretary Suella Braverman used a newspaper interview to criticise celebrities who spoke out against her speech on migration, made in the United States last week.
