At the Conservative Party conference, Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith is scheduled to deliver a speech today, claiming that reducing regulatory burdens could lower the cost of new houses by £50,000. This comes as Reform UK accuses the Conservative party of adopting policies they previously announced. The Conservatives are also planning to pledge the abolition of the Environment Agency and Natural England. Separately, Israel's foreign affairs ministry announced that Green party leader Zack Polanski has been banned from entering the country. This decision followed his party conference voting for a motion stating "Zionism is racism," which the ministry deemed an antisemitic text denying the Jewish people's right to self-determination.
