UK Conservative leader pledges to abolish inheritance tax on family homes
The plan would cut bills for more than half of families and let couples pass on an extra £1 million tax-free.
- On Wednesday, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch closed the party conference in Birmingham, declaring the next election a "battle for the soul of this nation" and promising to turn the economy around.
- Badenoch warned that the country is "running out of money," citing a national debt of nearly £3 trillion growing by more than £100 billion annually, with four in five pounds borrowed spent on interest alone.
- The Tories unveiled tax cuts, scrapped the mansion tax on properties above £2 million, and pledged £10 billion over 10 years for the "Britannia Shield" missile defence system.
- Taking aim at Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Badenoch accused Labour of believing "economic growth is created by politicians" and warned their policies create a "tax doom loop that is making us all poorer."
- Emphasizing principles from a booklet published Sunday, Badenoch argued government should focus on defence and borders, asserting that "the collective wisdom of people in our country is greater than central planning.
