Summarised from 3 outlets · 6 reports · Updated 5 Oct, 02:00 · Archive

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch opened the party's annual conference on Sunday, pledging radical measures as part of her policy agenda. The Tories plan to unveil economic policies during the conference.

The Daily Mail reports that Badenoch positioned herself as the 'no-nonsense mum' of British politics and published a major policy document setting out plans for a return to 'common sense' Tory values. The document focuses on the economy, law and order and borders, and the Mail draws a comparison to Margaret Thatcher's approach in the 1970s.

The Daily Mail also notes that Badenoch has led a 'remarkable rejuvenation' of the Conservative Party less than two years after taking over from a party still recovering from a crushing electoral defeat.
