Watch live: Jeremy Hunt announces review of benefits sanctions in Conservative Party Conference address

Watch as the Conservative party conference took place in Manchester on Monday 2 October.

Today was the second day of the annual event with chancellor Jeremy Hunt, former prime minister Liz Truss, Priti Patel and Jacob Rees-Mogg all delivering speeches.

Ms Truss was expected to call for tax cuts, fracking, and measures to boost housebuilding in a bid to put pressure on Rishi Sunak from the Tory right.

Meanwhile, education secretary Gillian Keegan set out plans to ban mobile phones from classrooms in England, with a source telling the Daily Mail she believes the devices “pose a serious challenge in terms of distraction, disruptive behaviour, and bullying”.

Ahead of her speech, a teaching union leader warned plans to introduce a blanket ban on pupils using mobile phones in schools across the country are “unenforceable”.

In England, it is currently up to individual school leaders to decide their own policies on mobile phones and whether they should be banned.
