Early evening summary

• Ministers are to give police greater powers to restrict protests by allowing them to consider the “cumulative impact” of demonstrations, as organisers of mass protests against the banning of Palestine Action pledged a “major escalation” of their campaign.

• Kemi Badenoch went further than the government, telling the Conservative party conference that the pro-Palestine marches were “carnivals of hatred” and suggesting they should be banned. (See 3.14pm.)

• A future Conservative government would be open to dismantling more treaties as a means to deport people from the UK, Badenoch has said at the start of a Tory conference focused almost exclusively on immigration policy.

• Rachel Reeves is set to announce a round of planning changes before the budget as a way to kickstart Britain’s sluggish economic growth, but ministers are at odds over how radical to be.

Jenrick urges Tories to 'get out of a suit', and show voters 'new Conservative party' has changed

Aletha Adu is a Guardian political reporter.

Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick has urged his colleagues to get out of their suits and Westminster and “shame authorities into action” using social media videos.

Jenrick told a Tory conference fringe event his colleagues should not be focused on “merely making speeches in the oak panelled halls of the Palace of Westminster”.

When asked if he will show more of his family to the public in order to reach new voters, Jenrick said the Tories are facing a reckoning because “people are sick of politicians, and there’s a deep sense of anger and frustration in the country”.

In a rallying cry that sounded like a shadow leadership call, Jenrick told his colleagues:

Get out of a suit, get out of Westminster, raise the everyday issues that all of us care about, and get stuck in. Try and shame the authorities into action.

I do not believe that the role of Conservative politicians is merely making speeches in Westminster, in the oak panelled halls of the Palace of Westminster, and do not buy into this idea that being in opposition is pointless.

Citing a conversation he had with his taxi driver, Jenrick said there was a need to “engage the enemy more closely”.

In the same event, Jenrick appeared to indicate the entire Conservative party has to continue to not only apologise but prove that it has changed.

It comes after the party were urged to show “contrition” and “penitence” for their failures. Praising Matthew Syed’s remarks (see 2.55pm), Jenrick said:

Do we have to show that the Conservative party has changed? Yes. And it’s not going to be enough to make fine speeches or tweets. I always say that when I screw up at home, just apologising isn’t enough for my wife. You’ve got to demonstrate that you’re a different person.

Asked how the Tories can appeal to younger voters, Jenrick claimed Canada’s Conservative wing managed to gain support amongst young people, although they of course didn’t win, because they campaigned on housing.

The Conservative party got it wrong in the past. The new Conservative party should be one in which we are helping those people onto the housing ladder to have a stake in society and to get on the life.

Jenrick’s use of the term “new Conservatives” was interesting. Many Tories think Jenrick may become party leader within the next year, and if that were to happen, one option would be to call the party New Conservatives, just at Tony Blair called his party New Labour, to persuade voters it was changing.
