Inheritance tax axed! Kemi takes fight to Burnham with heartfelt speech

In today’s episode of The Daily T from the final day of the Conservative Party conference, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley give their reaction to party leader Kemi Badenoch’s powerful and punchy speech to delegates and supporters. Camilla believes it displayed a more human side to the Tory leader as she discussed race, identity politics, defectors of her own party to Reform UK as well as her policy announcement to scrap inheritance tax on family homes.

Camilla and Tim compare Badenoch’s closing address to Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s speech at last week’s Labour party conference, and the differences in tone and policy gaps in the PM’s rousing speech. Within their analysis, Camilla and Tim also reference The Telegraph’s exclusive story on the conclusion of Reform UK’s internal investigation, clearing senior party figures of any law-breaking after an undercover investigation by Channel 4 journalists.
