Conservative conference: Tax, Truss, and HS2

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt held firm on tax cuts, despite growing pressure from his colleagues at the Conservative Party conference on Monday. "The plan is working and now we must see it through," he said in his keynote speech.

Hunt spoke as news broke that the northern leg of HS2 will be scrapped between Birmingham and Manchester.
