The Conservative Party conference is officially underway. The Chancellor has announced an increase to the National Living Wage and tougher sanctions for people on benefits who do not take steps to find work.
But, despite usually being high on the Tory priority list, Jeremy Hunt has said tax cuts won't be coming this year.
The Evening Standard’s Political Editor, Nicholas Cecil, shares his insight from the conference in Manchester.
