Badenoch faces grilling over lack of support from Tory members as conference continues – UK politics live
Conservative leader facing broadcast interviews this morning as a poll suggests half of members do not think she will lead party into the next election
Good morning. Kemi Badenoch is doing a round of interviews this morning at the Conservative conference in Manchester, and she is likely to be asked about polling out yesterday suggesting half of party members do not think she will lead the party into the next election. Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, came top when YouGov asked members who they would vote for if there is another contest, but not overwhelmingly. Jenrick, who gives his speech in the conference hall today, was on 37%, and YouGov only asked about three other alternatives (Boris Johnson, James Cleverly and Priti Patel).
Here is the agenda for the day.
