With the country in uproar, PM attempts to win confidence of Tory MPs but many will simply stay away

he slogan for the Conservative party conference, printed on its brochure, is Getting Britain Moving, prompting a stream of jokes and memes online as it was revealed on the day mortgage lenders began tohopes the conference will give her some space to wrest back control of the party and set out her plans on her own terms. “She needs a reset moment,” one insider admits. “Although she currently seems to be the only person who actually thinks that might be possible.

Another MP said: “There is a significant number of people who do think it is all terrible, but don’t want any blue-on-blue. So they are taking the view that it’s best to be silent.” The prime minister, despite all the pressure, seems determined to stick to her financial plans. The conference blueprint, pored over for months by Tory headquarters, remains broadly the same, with just the opening day, Sunday, looking “a little different”, in part to mark the death of the Queen.

The prime minister’s team say she will be “pretty visible”, with events and media appearances, as she tries to regain control of the narrative. “It gives us an opportunity to communicate on our own terms,” says an aide. Kwarteng has penned a private memo to Tory MPs appealing for their public backing: “We need your support.”Downing Street acknowledges more needs to be done to calm the nerves of Tory MPs and to try to win them over.

A number of Conservative MPs emphasised that they believed the conference should be used by Truss and Kwarteng to speak directly to people’s concerns about their fiscal package and emphasise the point of their plans and how they may benefit working people.

‘CPAC Australia is needed’: Sydney hosting CPAC conferenceFormer Leader of UK Independence Party Nigel Farage says “CPAC Australia is needed” at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Sydney. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is hosting conservative speakers and current and former elected officials from Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. “Everywhere I go, I meet Australian conservatives who are virtually in despair, so I think this conference is well-timed,” Mr Farage told Sky News Australia. “With respect to Australia, I would say this country and the way the states handled lockdown should say to you that perhaps centralised state power over your lives has gone way too far.” Yes, that's EXACTLY what we need, MORE fascists...
