More money, less Thatcher: What young voters want from the Tories

In today’s special Daily T On The Road from day one of the Conservative Party Conference, Camilla Tominey, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn speak to a room of Young Conservative delegates about what the party needs to do to attract more young voters. The audience tells Camilla, Tim and Poppy what they think about Kemi Badenoch drawing inspiration from Margaret Thatcher, and why strong economic policies to enable home ownership and starting a family would be most attractive to young voters.


Camilla, Tim and Poppy discuss their journeys to voting for Right-wing political parties – as Poppy reveals who she voted for in the last general election – while Tim divulges his experience at the Green Party conference in Brighton over the weekend.
