At the Conservative Party conference, former immigration minister Robert Jenrick emphasized the urgency of the UK exiting the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), declaring it a matter of "leave or die." Jenrick, who is currently the frontrunner in the race for party leadership, participated in a Q&A session at the event. Richard Fuller, the chair of the Conservative Party, has confirmed that there will be no changes to the timeline for the leadership contest, meaning the new leader will not be in place before the budget scheduled for Wednesday, October 30. Both Jenrick and fellow leadership contender Tom Tugendhat expressed their desire for an expedited timeline for the leadership election, while Kemi Badenoch stated she is content with the existing schedule. Fuller noted that the decision for a longer campaign was made after extensive discussions between the voluntary party and the 1922 Committee, which represents Conservative MPs. The 1922 Committee had advocated for a longer campaign to allow for four candidates to participate in the conference.
