Leader's Speech to Autumn Conference 2025
In the UK, access to public paths is shrinking. Thousands of miles of disused railway lines, canal towpaths and green spaces sit unused or blocked off. Our new policy will transform these forgotten routes into vibrant public paths for everyone to enjoy.
The climate and nature crises are the defining challenges of our time – yet Conservative and Labour governments have failed to act with the urgency needed. Our bold new policy will deliver climate action that puts people and the planet first.
Years of Conservative neglect left Britain’s railways failing passengers – with soaring fares, unreliable services, and complicated ticketing models. Our new policy will put passengers first and make rail travel more affordable, reliable, and accessible.
Hospices provide compassionate end of life care for hundreds of thousands of people each year, while easing pressure on overstretched NHS hospitals. After years of underfunding and rising costs, our new policy will secure the future of hospice care.
Hospitality businesses are vital for jobs, economic growth, and thriving communities – our new policy backs hospitality, helping pubs, cafés, restaurants, and hotels not just survive, but thrive - supporting local jobs and boosting the economy.
Skills shortages are holding back our economy, while investment in training has plummeted and opportunities to re-skill remain out of reach for too many people. Our reforms will give everyone the tools, support, and confidence to succeed at any age.
