Chris Mason: Bleak reality of opposition sets in for Conservatives

The Conservative Party faces a stark reality of opposition with a noticeable lack of attendance at their conference. Despite key speeches by figures like shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride, empty seats dominate the conference halls. The party, historically a dominant force in British politics, now appears diminished, with many events seeing sparse audiences. This conference marks a challenging moment for the Conservatives as they grapple with the challenges of being in opposition.
