Kemi Badenoch’s speech to the Tory Conference on 8th October made headlines because of a pledge to abolish Stamp Duty in the unlikely event the Tories ever return to Office. Anyone who has paid it, or faces having to pay it will be interested. The Treasury will be interested in where the money to pay for it is coming from. Badenoch did not say.
Badenoch did say however that other parties offer beer, jam, lentils.
Reform, promising free beer tomorrow.
Jeremy Corbyn, promising free jam.
Lib Dems, promising free lentils.
It is fair to assume that by contrast the Tories offer gruel. Badenoch might have suggested the 2025 equivalent of oat milk but that is rather Woke for the Tories.
