"Kemi Badenoch is set to announce a golden rule for the economy in her conference speech on Wednesday as she desperately tries to restore the Conservative Party's credibility on the nation's finances. With millions of Britons still reeling from the impact of Liz Truss' disastrous mini-Budget, the Tory leader will attempt to restore voters' trust in the party's handling of the economy by pledging that half of all money saved from cuts must be put towards shrinking the deficit."

The announcement in her keynote speech for the Tory conference in Manchester on Wednesday comes as shadow cabinet members admit that the party is struggling to even get a hearing with the public."
