The UK's Conservative Party gathers in Manchester for a crucial conference ahead of a looming general election.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak seeks to rejuvenate the party's declining popularity and refocus on a broader policy agenda.
With a general election expected next year, the Conservatives are currently trailing behind the Labour opposition in the polls.
Sunak faces the daunting task of convincing voters to retain the party's power amid a cost-of-living crisis and high inflation.
Fractures within the party become evident, particularly on issues like climate change, taxes, and infrastructure spending.
Prominent party members, including Jeremy Hunt, James Cleverly, and Suella Braverman, address party delegates and attendees.
The conference is expected to touch on divisive topics such as immigration and transgender rights to rally the Conservative base.
