Kemi Badenoch has vowed to scrap inheritance tax on family homes and raise the threshold for death duties to £500,000 if the Tories win the next election.

The Tory leader said that election will be a “battle for the soul of the nation”, as she promised her party would focus on letting people “keep more of what they earn” if it returned to power.

In a speech to the Conservative annual conference in Birmingham, she accused Andy Burnham’s Labour of being “addicted to welfare” and treating income and savings as “theirs to take and hand out”.

Not going to stop the boats

PLEASE keep her as leader. It's simply not possible for EVERY SINGLE PERSON to become poorer. The money goes somewhere. It's all about distribution. If everyone is poorer, then where does the money they would have had gone?

Whilst this muppet is at the helm of the tories, there is no danger of them getting in charge.

Stop voting tactically. Think again, before you vote in the UK elections

Millions would love to vote for you but there’s one problem . Nigel Farage did not sit in government for 14 years and do noting to stop what Blair has started. Sadly Kemi , your party did. They betrayed every value of Britishness imagined . So we’d love to trust you, but we can never do so again.
