from jeremy hunt we hearing from jeremy hunt we think shortly. let's go now to the conference and hannah miller is there. you have a rather special guest with you? i have indeed. of course you have just seen the rally for robertjenrick, lots of those kind of things going on at this conference. there is lanyards and memorabilia associated with the different candidates. robertjenrick, kemi badenoch, tom tugendhat and james cleverly as they all attend this giant hustings. i'm here with professorjohn curtis who can talk about all about who is the most popular and what the conservative party should do, the election expert as you are. if we can rewind slightly, in terms of what went wrong for the conservative party, should they be more worried at this point about looking to the right and the threat from reform? what should concern them the most?— reform? what should concern them the most? given the scale ofthe them the most? given the scale of the defeat, _ them the most? given the scale of the defeat, the _ them the most? given the scale of the defeat

jeremy hunt was taking _ are we expecting today?s taking the opportunityi hunt was taking the opportunity to defend his record in government, and in some ways put out the conservative party's message at a time when they don't have a leader as this leadership election continues throughout this conference. i'mjoined by damian green, who sat in government alongside theresa may. you are here not as an mp for the first time in many years, what is that like for you? years, what is that like for ou? ,., years, what is that like for ou? , ., ., you? in some ways more relaxing because i you? in some ways more relaxing because i have — you? in some ways more relaxing because i have had _ you? in some ways more relaxing because i have had fewer - because i have had fewer obligations but in other ways much — obligations but in other ways much the same. i still know literally— much the same. i still know literally thousands of people here — literally thousands of people here and they all want to talk to me — here and they all want to talk to me

jeremy hunt there — and as a footnote we should say that other forecasters are not quite as optimisticur political correspondent hannah miller is at the conference. she has been following developments and speaking to those in attendance. jeremy hunt there was clearly taking the opportunity to defend his record in government and in some ways, put out the conservative party�*s message at a time where they don�*t have a leader, as this leadership election continues throughout this conference. i am joined by damian green, who served in government alongside theresa may. thank you very much for being with us. you are here not as an mp, for the first time in many years. what is that like for you? in some ways is more relaxing because i have fewer obligations, but in other ways, it is most the same. i mean, i still know literally thousands of people here and they all want to talk to me. so that is fine. it is not that different. obviously what is different as being in opposition, and having a leadership campaign which means that the focus is not as it normally would be on the leaders�*s speech

jeremy hunt says this letter vindicate him.ys that earlier in the letter, during a technical passage, i won't bore you with it, he says that this vindicate him on claims that there that they were signed off that there was a black hole when there wasn't, i hope i'm not losing you here. this claim and counterclaim, and counter counterclaim, what it all really amounts to is what it is at the core of this governments economic policy. what kind of inheritance did they get from the conservatives? the government says, a terrible inheritance. and what tax and spending decisions are they taking as a result? they need voters to believe that those tax infect spending decisions are fair. but also if you want tojudge this government are fair. but also if you want to judge this government on its own terms, they need those tax and spending decisions to be judged on their own terms. they have said that the mission is to get the economy growing. figs to get the economy growing. as soon as rachel reeves gets to herfeet soon as rachel reeves gets

joe, how did jeremy hunt back up his claim?ndent economist has backed up what rachel reeves and the now labour government have said. jeremy hunt basically seemed to be saying that labour and rachel reeves have been lying, something that clearly the treasury and number ten would contest. here's a taste of what the now shadow chancellor to say. i think one of the biggest lines we have had — i think one of the biggest lines we have had since labour came to office is this— have had since labour came to office is this nonsense about having the worst_ is this nonsense about having the worst economic inheritance since the second _ worst economic inheritance since the second world war. i note that not a single _ second world war. i note that not a single independent economist has been prepared to come forward and back up— been prepared to come forward and back up rachel reeves in that claim. meanwhile, another big name appearing today, this lunchtime, it's a blast from the political past. liz truss has been answering questions at one e

interestingly the man who used to be chancellor, jeremy hunt, he wore the party, look, you cannotjustu cannot just assume the governing labour party are going to mess things up even though most conservative here think that's exactly what is going to happen. that's not going to happen. that's not going to happen. that's not going to be good enough is that we will need to figure out what is our modern conservative message to the country. how do we stay united and become up with a plant people are going to believe? is going to be an uphill struggle in the following sentence on the latest polling suggests that one of the things that did for the conservative at the last election was a people did not trust them. something like two thirds thought you just cannot trust the conservative party to keep his promises. {lita trust the conservative party to keep his promises.— keep his promises. 0k, rob, thank you — keep his promises. 0k, rob, thank you so _ keep his promises. 0k, rob, thank you so much _ keep his promises. 0k, rob, thank you so much that - keep his promises. 0k, rob, i thank you so

the shadow chancellor, jeremy hunt, has commented on this interest rate hold from the bank of england to difficult month, thanks to difficult decisions by the last government, the bank of england cut interest rates for the first time in four years. today's announcement shows how important it is that the new government works hard to hold down inflation, which will pave the way for future interest rates cuts. >> he goes on to say new employment laws that put up costs for business will ultimately feed through into higher prices, so they should think again before damaging uk competitiveness as they currently plan to. >> super interesting. the shadow chancellor is pointing to the cuts that happened last month. he says thanks to his policies and the hold that happens now, he's implying thanks to the policies of the new government. is that fair? >> well, to react to the news is economist and daily telegraph columnist roger bootle. roger, thank you very much indeed. interesting what jeremy hunt had to say there, that it was under the conservatives and thanks to their hard work, that interest

you've then got people who had, you know, jeremy hunt who, for years, we've known as somebody who wasoking a bit cross on the opposition benches. and the people who are looking really knackered — because they're the cabinet ministers — are all the people who, not so long ago, were looking sort of, you know, bright—eyed and bushy—tailed. i mean, it is such a transformation, in a physical way, of the kind of political landscape. but on those two things that you mentioned, prisons and winter fuel allowance, those are both very big problems for this government. do you think that they've got more heat than they expected? for 1.4 billion in savings pre—announced, initially, there was going to be no vote. is this a sign that they know what they're doing politically? because i heard ed balls, on his podcast, imply this wasn't exactly how you'd plan it to be, for the sake of this one policy, when parliament wasn't sitting, to get all this heat. it's been weeks and weeks of it. while you've been away, it's been all i've been talking about. i don't... i mean, i don't know. i think that... so the

. >> making it a health service, not a sickness service, was jeremy hunt's policy. >> and it startedan extent, but it is still there more for people who are ill, partly because people don't like being nagged about their health by the nanny state. well, i mean, if you're going to make it a prevention service, there have been doing that. i mean, i keep getting letters through the door inviting me to different tests for tests and things like that. so it is actually it is actually happening. there are other things you can do to save money. i mean, it's ridiculous. we've just been talking about the ageing population. it's ridiculous that people are getting free prescriptions at 60. why shouldn't they be getting them at 66? it's ridiculous that people who can afford private health have to go to a gp to get the referral letter. that costs the nhs £30. it's also ridiculous. it's still so centralised, despite the idea that we should, we should put it out in the community because it's local areas that understand what's going on. let's think about scrapping nhs england and doing just that. >> w

. >> well, jeremy hunt's right, isn't he ? he's much more isn't he?effective opposition shadow chancellor. he was chancellor in some ways, but she didn't answer the question. she said , i the question. she said, i announced it to somebody else. that's pretty weak. >> yeah . hunt's second in our >> yeah. hunt's second in our shadow cabinet league table. quite a remarkable recovery . quite a remarkable recovery. this is yeah. this is a real. they've got the chancellor on the ropes here because this is quite a serious failure. i mean there have been an awful lot of problems with labour's appointments. but this is very much parachuting somebody into a civil service position, having a donation link. and yeah, you're supposed to declare it to the civil service commission when they're deciding on the appointment. and she's not saying she did. presumably she knows that's a breach of the ministerial code. now, obviously, not every breach of the ministerial code is a serious offence, but this one is, especially when you consider that she stood up in the house o

from the other side of the political pitch, the shadow chancellor, jeremy hunt, claims his governmenttest growing major economy this year. both admit boosting investment is the key to raising our growth game permanently, but that is tricky to tackle and may need some deft manoeuvres. dharshini joins us now from our london newsroom. what impact might this have on the budget next month? that is the £22 billion question because that is the ties of the so—called black hole the chancellor claims to have to meet her own rules, and part of that is down to decisions made by the previous government and partly down to her choices over public sector pay but it does not matter who is to blame, when you have less growth it's harder to get the tax in to fill the hole and that's why you hear talk of different decisions and some are saying that the government is talking the economy down and might seize on the backdrop to push through some of those decisions that some politicians have site —— shied away from before. you've seen the decision about the winter fuel payments and some i ask if the likes of

olivia >> yes, this is rachel reeves first treasury questions in the commons up against jeremy hunt,on her plans for the budget, which is going to take place on october the 30th. we already know from keir starmer's, frankly, quite depressing speech last week that the government believes that taxes will have to rise, or pubuc taxes will have to rise, or public spending will have to be cut in order to fix this enormous black hole, which labour says that it's found in pubuc labour says that it's found in public finances. there will be a lot of questions on exactly what's going to to change fill that black hole. could this pay per mile scheme come in? could we see a to change capital gains tax, to inheritance tax? all of these taxes, which labour didn't specifically explicitly rule out rising during the general election campaign? we expect rachel reeves to stay pretty tight lipped. it's going to be a morning of her essentially dodging questions from jeremy hunt on what's going to be in that budget on october the 30th. she wants to keep her powder dry, but we do know that it's going to be

yeah, and this is a cracker as well jeremy hunt, if you remember, became chancellor in the emergency.hancellor and apparently one of the first things he did was tell her that she had to go. she'd literally just made him chancellor. and he told her, you're going to have told her, you're going to have to resign. and she did very quickly afterwards. and the other thing he reveals is that one of the rumours of why rishi sunak called the election, no one could really understand why he did it. when he did. and one of the rumours was it was because there was a lot of letters of no confidence in. that's right. >> we were sort of saying it and it was nearly 50 letters or something. >> exactly. well, it turns out there was only ten, so there was nowhere near the threshold. and he said when he, when, rishi sunak said to graham brady before he announced it, i'm going to call an election. he says at that specific moment, there were ten letters of no confidence. and my safe, where he kept his legs. so it's really juicy stuff. >> it is . i like a juicy memoir >> it is. i like a juicy memoir because

you can say that this is, you know, an exception from the rules that jeremy hunt introduced.ary. they can be changed. all that really matters is that you don't have a run on the pound and a big scare in the bond markets, which is what happened with the mini—budget of liz truss, famously , but, you liz truss, famously, but, you know, governments can keep borrowing lots and lots of money. >> the bank of england potentially can keep printing lots of money. i don't think it's planning to at the moment, but, you know, these rules were set by jeremy hunt because if you're going to borrow lots of money, you need to at least pretend that you're going to pay it back at some point or at least reduce how much you're borrowing. the reality is, we've been borrowing £120 billion the last three years for no obvious reason. i think reeves can probably argue that she would like to borrow more for investment. it might be the gb energy, it might be some of the net zero stuff, as you can say. well, that's different. it's investment. i think the point is we should only be borrowing for investment

and i think, we've got jeremy hunt giving his speech at 10:00 or 10:30 this morning . 10:00 or 10:30morning. >> we have, i think it's a 930 perhaps this morning that jeremy hunt is going to be giving his speech. it's not going to be a sort of traditional conference speech. he's going to be in conversation. so it'll be really interesting to see what sort of a crowd that attracts today. we also will expect, obviously, to hear a bit more from the leadership hopefuls. i'm quite interested to see that the mood interested to see that the mood in in birmingham for this conference seems to be relatively cheerful. it's almost as though the conservatives have decided they don't have much to lose , so they may as well sort lose, so they may as well sort of cheer up. in fact, you could argue i would say that that the mood here is better than it was in liverpool last week, which i don't think anyone was expecting a couple of months ago when labour won that general election . labour won that general election. but i'll keep you posted on how it goes. >> do okay. >> do okay. >> thank you olivia. app

jeremy hunt floated the a while. jeremy hunt floated the idea.p interest rates if he started fiddling with these rules. but i think, you know, the uk is in a difficult position, rachel. >> it's not the rules that gordon brown put in place. >> well, it's so essentially fiscal rules were invented by gordon brown. we've changed the rules nine times since they were introduced. so we often talk about them as if they are sacrosanct. they're not. and they should either adapt to meet with the challenges that we're facing or maybe scrap them entirely. i mean, there is no reason why a chancellor of the exchequer should be bound by certain rules. we should be able to trust them. rachel reeves is clearly not a, you know, not profligate. she's a trustworthy woman. she should be able to make decisions that are right at the time. >> candace, what do you think. yeah. >> i was going to say, you know, it depends how you approach these things. you know, should things be more pragmatic and like you say like people should be able to respond to the circumstances in wh

that's actually something that jeremy hunt said when he won his seat in the general election in the summer getting involved. if the problem in the nhs at the moment is lots and lots of staff and not very many machines, not very much equipment, well, perhaps one of the solutions would be to get rid of some staff and use that money to, to spend on equipment and infrastructure. that will be easier said than done for a labour government, because the unions will not like that. >> i was wondering about that, whether he's really going to focus on a lot of the bloated management structure of the nhs , management structure of the nhs, because a lot of even the staff, the frontline staff, complain about the managers all the time. so is that likely to be one of his main focus? focuses today. >> it's unlikely that he's going to get into the nitty gritty of potential job losses further down the line, but he has made very clear that he will not be raising taxes on ordinary working people in order to give more money to the nhs. in fact, he has said that what needs to be done is a bottom up, he has said t
