The Prime Minister is set to face questions over the future of HS2 and further calls to set out tax cuts while in Manchester. | ITV National News
The Prime Minister has vowed to set out his long-term vision for the country at the Conservative Party conference without taking the “easy” choices.
Mr Walker, who reportedly previously held ambitions of becoming a Tory MP, told BBC News: “It has become clear to me over recent months that the Conservative Party are drifting out of touch with the needs of business, with the environment and also the everyday people that my business touches and serves.”
The Prime Minister said it was part of a new long-term vision for towns that was about putting “funding in the hands of local people” so they could “level up” their communities. While in Manchester, Mr Sunak is likely to face further questions about the future of HS2 following speculation he is considering axing the second phase between Birmingham and the conference’s host city over cost concerns.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman used a newspaper interview to criticise celebrities who spoke out against her speech on migration, made in the United States last week.
