It’s Kemi Badenoch’s big day at Conservative conference – but it’s not just the adoring party faithful she has to impress.
Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy look at how the leader’s speech will land with both voters and party donors – in what she’s calling a “battle for the soul of the country”.
There are already signs the Tories’ finances are not in the shape they need to be to fight an election on two fronts – with our hosts picking up clues from the conference hall in Birmingham.
Plus, Sam and Anne check in on the state of the Green Party, after delegates adopted a motion declaring Zionism as a form of racism. What does it mean for leader Zack Polanski?
Sam and Anne will return later for a special de-brief edition following Kemi Badenoch’s speech, which will be released mid-afternoon.
