In this special edition of Talking Politics from the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston sits down with the leader of the opposition, Kemi Badenoch.

They discussed the challenges of anti-semitism and racism in the country, as well as the problems facing the party with the number of councillors deserting to Reform.

The Tory leader criticised the BBC and other media organisations for what she said was ‘inaccurate’ coverage of Israel’s war in Gaza.

And, in response to the controversy surrounding comments made by Robert Jenrick which were seen by many to be ‘racist’, Ms Badenoch defended the shadow justice secretary, saying his words were ‘taken out of context’.
