Badenoch says Tories would scrap inheritance tax on family homes

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has pledged that a future Conservative government would scrap inheritance tax on family homes and allow couples to leave one million pounds tax-free. Delivering her keynote speech at the party conference in Birmingham, she outlined ambitious fiscal plans despite noting current economic constraints. Alongside her tax announcements, Badenoch drew sharp contrasts with political rivals, branding Reform UK as a circus and ruling out any potential election deals. She also criticised the Labour leadership, positioning her party as a decisive, no-nonsense alternative for voters.

Badenoch Pledges Inheritance Tax Cuts for Family Homes

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has pledged to abolish inheritance tax on family homes and raise the tax-free allowance for couples to £1m. Speaking at the party conference in Birmingham, she positioned the Tories as a 'no-nonsense' alternative to both Labour and Reform UK. While stopping short of a full immediate abolition due to fiscal constraints, Badenoch emphasized that the policy aims to relieve middle-class families. Critics, however, argue the proposal primarily benefits wealthier households.
