The Conservative Party conference begins today in Birmingham, with leader Kemi Badenoch poised to present her vision for the party. This comes as Labour has announced a significant reversal of its plans to limit access to jury trials, a move that has drawn mixed reactions from both parties. Shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy claims this is a victory for the Conservatives, although he argues that Labour's changes still pose risks to jury rights.
Meanwhile, the Green Party is facing internal divisions as it debates a controversial motion regarding Zionism. Carla Denyer, the former co-leader, has urged party members to reject the motion, citing concerns over its implications for Jewish communities and the party's focus on Palestinian rights. The outcomes of both conferences could shape public perception and party strategies moving forward.
