Rishi Sunak - Can He Bring Change to Britain?
The prime minister was on stage for more than an hour, scaling back HS2, reforming A levels and T levels and proposing a slow fade out for smoking.
Rishi Sunak has sought to portray himself as the Prime Minister that can offer change - in his first speech to the Conservative Party conference since he was elected to the top job. As expected, he announced the scrapping of the HS2 line from Birmingham to Manchester - but he promised to "reinvest every penny" saved - which he said was 36 billion pounds - in rail, roads and buses in the North, the Midlands and across the country. There were also new policy announcements on smoking and post-16 education. In our latest 5 Minutes On Podcast, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ' s Political Correspondent, Damian Grammaticas guides us through and offers analysis on what's been billed as Rishi Sunak's biggest speech since he became Prime Minister.
