Press and public barred from attending, with party claiming it is an ‘internal event closed to media’
Rishi Sunak has banned the media from the Conservative party’s spring conference, with his appearance and a business day held behind closed doors.
The prime minister was due to give a speech and host drinks with party activists at the conference in Birmingham – the party’s second-biggest gathering in the political year. However, the press and public apart from Tory members were barred from attending, with the party claiming it was an “internal event closed to media”.
