Badenoch denies empty seats an issue at Tory conference

Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch has denied low attendance at some events is a problem at this year’s conference.

BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent pressed Ms Badenoch on whether she was concerned by “halls that seemed empty” and seats that were not filled like in previous years.

Ms Badenoch replied that it was “simply not true” and said people had been complaining to her about having to queue to get in.
