Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to address the public in a speech on the last day of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester.

The conference has ran for four days and many members of the party have highlighted their aims for the future.

Johnson will speak on the same day that the £20-a-week cut to Universal Credit comes into effect, he is expected to also promise a “change of direction” for the country, and has highlighted that his “levelling up” agenda is the only way to achieve it.

During the conference over the weekend, Prime Minister Boris Johnson (PM) set out his plans for how he wants to change and improve the UK as it emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Build Back Better means we want things to change and improve as we recover,” the PM said.

“Only the Conservatives are getting on with the job, tackling the long-term challenges this country faces.

“That means taking the big, bold decisions on the priorities people care about – like on social care, on supporting jobs, on climate change, tackling crime and levelling up.”

The PM also stated his plans to increase wages and offer more opportunities for those who wish to open new businesses.
