🚨 Remember from next April: The 🥀 Labour Government have placed most unused pension funds into the scope of Inheritance Tax! 🚨
That's why I welcome @KemiBadenoch announcement today that @Conservatives will exempt family homes, and introduce a £1m (couples) threshold for other assets. 🏠 📄
A policy that promotes aspiration, and rewards people for doing the right thing! 👏🏽

The wealthiest don't pay inheritance tax - and they are fleeting Britain under your socialist government, leaving our country worse off.

Reminder that 20% of households face being subject to IHT if they were to die today.
Interesting from @DanNeidle - far from the 5% figure that keeps being trotted out, taking a snapshot before tax planning or end of life spending, it’s actually *20%* of pensioner households who are facing an inheritance tax bill.
And in places like Wimbledon and Esher and Walton, it’s more than 50%.

The working age benefit bill is set to grow by three times more than the pensions triple lock uplift. That's why we will tackle it
£13.7bn - end cash benefit for low level mental health
£9.5bn - stop benefit access to non EU nationals
£4.5bn - housing benefit changes
£3.1bn - reinstate 2 child benefit cap
£1bn - end VAT exemptions for Motability cars.

Think that’s the toughest I’ve seen a Tory leader been on Reform since their emergence as a serious political force, directly taking on claims about Englishness and identity from some Reform politicians. Feels a significant change in approach.

The @Conservatives leader pays tribute to “badass teachers like Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy” to fervent applause. I must say, as a communicator, @KemiBadenoch is head and shoulders above all other party leaders right now. Her speech has texture, nuance, colour, and political depth. She radiates ‘badass’ sincerity. Mrs Thatcher had to work on herself *for years* to reach this level. Kemi Badenoch seems to have it all for nothing. #CPC26

Are all Reform supporters happy with this strategy?
Wait… Gut instinct?
You are telling us that strong leadership means ditching policy documents for “gut instinct” ?
Farages gut instinct? 🤦♀️
That is a terrifying way to look at governing.
So Reform is asking the electorate to buy a product without looking at the specifications, relying entirely on the personal intuition of one man🤷♀️
And another thing - Tice now claims the necessary laws are already on the books to execute their agenda.
But 6 months ago, the narrative was completely different: we were told new legislation was vital to push their platform through.
Which is it🤷♀️
Considering Farage’s current net approval rating stands at -45, the appetite for this “just trust me” style of politics is very low.
A country isn’t a startup you can pivot on a whim fgs running a nation requires detailed planning, costings, and a legal roadmap.
Winging it gets us exactly what we have now, incompetence.

NEW: A senior Tory MP has spoken of her anger that police kept her and other serving and former MPs in the dark for months after their names were found in a dossier at the home of the man accused of murdering Ann Widecombe.
The MP was only briefed by police on Monday that her name appeared in the list, despite claims officers knew about it shortly after the arrest of Joshua Kerry in July.
“It’s outrageous that we were not told sooner,” she said.
More than 100 high profile individuals - including former and severing MPs and peers - had their details included in the dossier.
Among those on the list included a former senior Cabinet minister.

With the usual caveat that policy shouldn't be based solely on opinion polls, there's strong support here for the direction of travel set out by @KemiBadenoch on inheritance tax today... 👍
As Kemi Badenoch announces a future Conservative government would significantly reduce the number of people eligible to pay inheritance tax, what would the public prefer to happen to the tax?
Abolished altogether: 36%
Reduced: 16%
Remain as it is: 13%
Increased: 9%

We Conservatives are the party of home ownership.
✅ No stamp duty when you buy your home.
✅ No mansion tax on your home.
✅ No inheritance tax when you pass your home on to the next generation.
A fantastic speech from Kemi. We are on the side of people who work hard.
