Tories united behind Kemi Badenoch but must win over voters

The Conservative Party's annual conference in Birmingham demonstrated a unified front behind leader Kemi Badenoch, a stark contrast to the leadership murmurs of a year ago. However, despite internal harmony, the party still trails Labour and Reform UK in opinion polls. During her speech, Badenoch unveiled a major plan to cut inheritance tax, echoing a familiar strategy of dropping surprise crowd-pleasing policies near the end of her address. While supporters argue the tax is deeply unpopular and unfair, critics including the Institute for Fiscal Studies and Reform UK argue it primarily benefits multi-millionaires and wealthy property owners in London and the south east.

Conservatives united behind Kemi Badenoch, but challenges remain

The Conservative Party conference in Birmingham showcased a united front behind leader Kemi Badenoch, marking a stark contrast to the leadership tensions of the previous year. Badenoch used her keynote speech to announce a new policy proposal regarding inheritance tax, aiming to resonate with voters despite critics dismissing it as a tax cut for the wealthy. Beyond tax policy, Badenoch focused on repositioning the party by shedding controversial figures and addressing broader cultural debates, including a direct rebuke of Suella Braverman's views on Englishness. However, despite party unity, the Tories continue to lag behind Labour and Reform UK in opinion polls.

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.
