Summary
The prime minister closed the Conservative Party conference with a speech setting out his pitch for the next election, promising to reform A-levels, support the health service and crack down on smoking. He also finally confirmed that the HS2 link from Birmingham to Manchester is being scrapped and committed to spend the money instead on transport projects in the North.<br /><br />On the Sky News Daily with Niall Paterson, our deputy political editor Sam Coates discusses what impact the speech will have and also looks back at the conference and what it has revealed about the Tory party. <br /><br />Plus, from inside the conference hall, Niall grabs Justice Secretary Alex Chalk, Minister of State for Northern Ireland Steve Baker, Transport Secretary Mark Harper, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, and Claire Coutinho, secretary of state for energy security and net zero. <br /><br />*Tell us what you think of Sky News podcasts: <a href="https://news.sky.com/podcastsurvey" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://news.sky.com/podcastsurvey</a><br /><br />Producer: Soila Apparicio <br />Senior producer: Annie Joyce <br />Promotions Producer: David Chipakupaku <br />Editors: Wendy Parker and Paul Stanworth <br /><br /><br />
