Conservative Party conference in Birmingham sparks controversy over maternity pay remarks by Kemi Badenoch.

The Conservative Party conference in Birmingham has sparked controversy over Kemi Badenoch's remarks on maternity pay, following comments by fellow candidate Robert Jenrick. With a reduced attendance, the conference serves as a platform for the final four leadership contenders, focusing on immigration. This event is notable for lacking a leader's speech for the first time since 1963. MPs will vote in the coming days to narrow the candidates amid a backdrop of recent electoral challenges.
