Liz Truss Tory conference speech disrupted by Greenpeace protesters; PM claims cutting taxes ‘right morally and economically’ – as it happened

5.30pm BST

Afternoon summary

• Liz Truss has promised Britons she has “got your back” and set out a plan for “growth, growth and growth” in a conference speech disrupted by protesters asking who voted for her plan. My colleague Peter Walker has five takeaways from the speech here.

• Truss has been criticised by a leading conservation charity for implying that all environmentalists are part of a malign “anti-growth coalition”. (See 2.21pm.) As my colleague Helena Horton explains, this came at the end of a conference in which environmentalists and their concerns were routinely criticised or ignored.

• Suella Braverman’s plan to stop people entering the UK through irregular routes from claiming asylum could be in breach of the refugee convention, the United Nations’ refugee agency has said.

Here is my colleague Aubrey Allegretti’s take on Liz Truss’s speech.

And here is an extract.

The prime minister’s 35-minute address contained no new policy announcements, and only the gentlest of nods to the division that has rocked the first few weeks of her premiership, with little of the contrition that some were hoping for.

But it did the job, and almost all of those leaving the conference centre will have departed with no worse view of their leader than they had the day before.

One cabinet minister reflected that the speech “won’t be remembered”, and several other members of the government greeted it with a collective shrug of the shoulders.
