Uk Prime Minister, rishi sunak has refused to commit to cutting taxes after a Senior Member of his own cabinet called for them to be lowered before the next election. He was speaking in a bbc interview in manchester as the conservative Party Conference begins. Rishi sunak also refused to confirm the new multi billion pound high speed rail line, hs2, will reach manchester, as is currently planned. Our Political Editor chris mason has the details. 12 months ago rishi sunak was a loser, defeated in the race to be Prime Minister, but on the upside for him, he did get a holiday. He was an ib 13 taking it easy. Working out what to do next. He was in their two taking it easy. Today he was in burnley, lancashire, trying to come up with a game plan to avoid a loser again.

This conference is being held in what used to be a Railway Station as time and time again Rishi Sunak Ducks whether they will ever be a new high speed rail line, hs2, between here and london. You are the Prime Minister of this country. This is your decision. Is this going to happen or not . This country. This is your decision.

Weve got this going to happen or not . I said, weve got spades in the ground, i wont comment on further speculation but i can tell you that we are committed to levelling up across this country. Just today we have announced a new plan to put a long term plan, actually, to focus on people in towns. Longterm plan, actually, to focus on people in towns. On people in towns. Party conferences on people in towns. Party conferences often on people in towns. Party conferences often include on people in towns. Party i conferences often include a mild splash of razzmatazz. Smiles, handshakes and rather loud music. Are you pumped to be here . The conservative are you pumped to be here . The conservative challenge, turning his energy into popularity. That was chris mason. Bbc political correspondent, nick eardley is at the conference and joins me now. Always good to talk to you. A lot of the talk today has been about taxes. Michael gove, a really big hitter, saying he wants them lowered before the next election. The pm will not commit either way. For nonpolitical types watching all of this it is really hard to know what the party line is on this. The really hard to know what the party line is on this. Line is on this. The party line is that the Conservatives Line is on this. The party line is that the conservatives want i line is on this. The party line is that the conservatives want to | that the conservatives want to reduce tax and they have said they are going to do it in the next few years but the big question is, are people going to go into the General Election promising either that they are cutting tax next year or that they have got a plan to cut tax almost immediately after. The reason it really matters is because there are a lot of conservative backbenchers, mps, who think that Rishi Sunak Needs to be a lot bolder when it comes to offering the electorate a reason to vote for the conservatives. How often do we cover just now the fact the conservatives are well behind in the polls, they are well behind in the polls, they are struggling to catch up with labour, rishi sunak is desperate to find something that will capture the political imagination. And over the next few days, i will make one firm bet that you will hear a lot of conservative mps standing up and saying we need to reduce tax now. We will probably hear the former Prime Minister, liz truss, saying that tomorrow. And although she may have disappeared a bit from the political fray she is still popular with a lot of conservatives. There is a lot of pressure on the Prime Minister to come up with something now. As you just heard on chriss piece, he is resisting it, he is resisting saying anything concrete. That means that debate is going to go on and on. You mentioned what you are expecting to hear over the next few days. Quite often at conference the most interesting discussions are the ones being held far away from the elective in the conference hall. Im just wondering if i can get a sense from you as to what is happening in those discussions, really what is the mood of the Conservative Party at the moment . You the mood of the Conservative Party at the moment . The mood of the Conservative Party at the moment . You will see a lot of eole at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading to at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading to fringe at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading to fringe events i at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading to fringe events and | people heading to fringe events and bars right now but a lot of those big discussions do happen there. The honest answer is the conservative membership, activists, are looking for something to enthuse them, to take back to constituencies, to say to the electorate, look, this is our big thing we will offer at the General Election that we think can capture your vote back. That is what they want to say to ordinary voters. Rishi sunak is going to do that over the next few days, i think. You cant see them in the shot but there are lots of banners with Making Decisions for a brighterfuture. Decisions for a brighter future. Rishi decisions for a brighterfuture. Rishi sunak was saying this morning that he is prepared to make unpopular decisions for the long term interest of this country if i think i need to do so. The problem he has today is he hasnt really done that yet. He hasnt done it on tax. He hasnt been prepared to say, no, i will not cut tax. He hasnt done it with hs2 and he hasnt done it with hs2 and he hasnt told us what hes going to do with hsz hasnt told us what hes going to do with hs2 despite pressure for some clarity including from former Prime Ministers like borisjohnson and theresa may, by the way. At the moment, hes promising to get on the political front moment, hes promising to get on the politicalfront foot and moment, hes promising to get on the political front foot and he is telling members he has plans to seize the political momentum, we are just waiting to hear. I seize the political momentum, we are just waiting to hear. Just waiting to hear. I know you will keep your just waiting to hear. I know you will keep your ears just waiting to hear. I know you will keep your ears to just waiting to hear. I know you will keep your ears to the i just waiting to hear. I know you i will keep your ears to the ground for all of those meeting so we look forward to hearing what you hear. Meanwhile at the conference, uks defence secretary grant shapps, has said the uks support for the nato Military Alliance is unwavering. He confirmed plans for two new deployments. Around 200 british soldiers are being sent to the nato peacekeeping mission in kosovo. And raf typhoons are heading to poland which he said was facing continued russian aggression. There had been a request from natos Supreme Allied Commander europe. And so, i have authorised the full deployment of a Battalion Size UkStrategic Reserve force to natos Kosovo Peacekeeping mission. In the days ahead, hundreds of soldiers from the 1st battalion, the princess of wales royal regimen, willjoin the 400 British ServiceMen And Women already in kosovo. In a response to a request from our polish friends, raf typhoons are landing in poland, as i speak, to support our nato ally with the growing threat of russian interference. And elsewhere at the conservative Party Conference, the tory london mayoral candidate susan hall promised to be the first Female Labour Mayor of london in a slip of the tongue while talking about current london mayor sadiq khan. Take a listen. In 213 days time he can do whatever he likes. Its true because i will be sitting at my desk in city hall as your first female labour, no be sitting at my desk in city hall as Yourfirst Female labour, no not labour never labour Yourfirst Female london mayor.
