Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party have “taken a sledgehammer to the foundations on which a good life can be built”, Angela Rayner has claimed.

Addressing Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool, the deputy party leader accused the Tories of having “broken Britain”.

She told the party’s activists: “Rishi Sunak and his party have taken a sledgehammer to the foundations on which a good life can be built. And now the simple things in life are crumbling.

“A decent job, a secure affordable home, and a strong community. Simple things this Government have snatched away from working people.

“And conference, we can’t go on like this any longer. The Tories are not only talking Britain down, they have dragged us down and they are holding us back.”

Ms Rayner also used her speech to argue that the Labour “movement has never been so unified, so focused around one aim, to give Britain its future back”.

The Labour Party conference will run from Sunday 08 to Wednesday 11 October. With inspiring speeches, invaluable training and an events timetable that makes the most of every minute, it's a real opportunity to be a part of democracy in action.
