days, since 460 days that the ceasefire is in place. very worrying sign that israel and hamas are trading accusations over who is delaying this, what's going on in doha. hamas say they are committed to the ceasefire and keep sending messages that they have approved the deal and handed over everything and they are committed to all terms of they are committed to all terms of the ceasefire presented by the two mediators, egypt and qatar. in gaza they are waiting for aid to be allowed in, because part of the deal, 600 trucks will be allowed into gaza. and what has been allowed throughout the war is less than 20% of what the people need, so they hope their life will be improved if they allow hundreds of trucks, as we

want to rush into new policies, so she's saying politicians across—the—board haven't been honest with the public and she will apologise for some the things her own party did or didn't do any government. for example, she will say they made a law to bring net zero by 2050 but only after it did they get about thinking how they will do it. she suggested immigration had got up at a time when they said it should be coming down. and beyond that, even brexit, she was saying they went ahead, voted brexit but didn't have a plan for economic growth outside of the eu when they did so. she is saying all that mess is something she will avoid as party leader. inside her own party, some people are getting nervous because in some polls, reform and that the conservatives are in second place and there's a fearfor are in second place and there's a fear for lack of specific policies in some areas means it is becoming difficult for her to cook through.

we are expecting to talk about rebuilding trough and specifics. she has had some specific labour policies she supposed that she is yet to set out how she links these mistakes with policies that would correct those and avoid them in the future. that is a challenge she may face not maybe today, but relatively soon. ,, , ., , �*, face not maybe today, but relatively soon. ,, , ., , soon. she will signal she's prepared to carry on — soon. she will signal she's prepared to carry on being — soon. she will signal she's prepared to carry on being outspoken - soon. she will signal she's prepared to carry on being outspoken in - soon. she will signal she's prepared to carry on being outspoken in her l to carry on being outspoken in her language, which she has been criticised for.— language, which she has been criticised for. that is right, and some of her— criticised for. that is right, and some of her own _ criticised for. that is right, and some of her own mps - criticised for. that is right, and some of her own mps find - criticised for. that is right, and some of her own mps find her| some of her own mps find her abrasive, but i don't think she will apologise for her character or some of her outspoken views on culture, for example. it will be interesting to see in due course, if not today, she developed some of the ideas she talked about during the leadership contest, such as she was talking on immigration. it wasn't the numbers

are people who came here, it was who, what values they had. but then she seemed to be dragged by some people on her own side of going down the traditional route of calling on a cap on numbers. the questions are how she develops the ideas and makes them into specific policies. those other things we haven't seen. she won't apologise for her character or robust attacks on the opposition. she will try to draw a line between herself and keir starmer, who was famously asked just christmas by the powerful liaising committee, backbench mps, if six months into government he would do something differently, he said no. she is saying she is different and she will admit mistakes and will tell the public where she thinks her party has got it wrong. let public where she thinks her party has got it wrong.— public where she thinks her party has got it wrong. let me explain, on the right-hand _ has got it wrong. let me explain, on the right-hand side _ has got it wrong. let me explain, on the right-hand side you _ has got it wrong. let me explain, on the right-hand side you can - has got it wrong. let me explain, on the right-hand side you can see - the right—hand side you can see where kemi badenoch will be speaking, just a people speaking

putting them in a national framework, giving them powers to mandate people to give evidence to those inquiries. it looks as though in the face of our pressure, yvette cooper will come up with something quite similar, she will go down the road of saying they don't want another big inquiry that last seven years. but they are willing to have targeted local inquiries into grooming with some of the powers being demanded. that is to try to defuse, i think, being demanded. that is to try to defuse, ithink, some being demanded. that is to try to defuse, i think, some of the criticism inside the labour party whether bigger criticisms the government has been facing on a sensitive issue.— government has been facing on a sensitive issue. you've mentioned a cou - le sensitive issue. you've mentioned a coule of sensitive issue. you've mentioned a coume of times _ sensitive issue. you've mentioned a couple of times reform. _ sensitive issue. you've mentioned a couple of times reform. there - sensitive issue. you've mentioned a couple of times reform. there was| sensitive issue. you've mentioned a l couple of times reform. there was an opinion poll out a little while ago saying they were second in the opinion polls, edging closer to labour. how much does nigel farage and reform take in terms of the tories and how they tackle against

problem is broader than one party, one leader, or one of government. generations of leaders and entire ranks of senior managers have been trying and failing for a long time. many have not been honest with the public about the challenges we face, and others have not even been honest with themselves. we are a great country, but we've lost our way. the truth is that britain is failing to compete in a world that is changing. and it is not working for its citizens, certainly not the way it used to. back in the 1980s, it took just months to save up for a house deposit. now, it is over a decade. and for many, the dream of owning a home is impossible. jobs which didn't require a degree 20 years ago now and need two, loading up to £50,000 of debt on someone just starting out. one of my favourite

quotes is from the economist, who said when you want to help people you tell them the truth. when you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear. the conservative party is under new leadership. from now on, we are going to be telling the british people the truth, even when it is difficult to hear. the truth about the mistakes we made, the truth about the problems we face, and the truth about the actions we must take to get our country out of this mess. applause it is hard not to feel sorry for the labour government, it is hard because they have walked into some of the same trap we did. like assuming you could just keep raising taxes and there will be
