LIVE: Conservative Party Conference

Описание: The Conservative Party conference kicks off in Manchester amid a difficult few months for Kemi Badenoch as opinion polls continue to fall. On Monday, Sir Mel Stride, the shadow chancellor, will announce proposals for a “first-job bonus” that would divert national insurance payments into a long-term savings account. For a working couple the bonus would be worth £10,000.

The plans would benefit 600,000 people a year, and the Conservatives say the £2.8 billion cost would be funded by cutting government spending, including ending sickness benefits for milder mental health conditions and banning half a million foreigners from accessing the welfare state.
