Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has pledged changes to inheritance tax as she pitched her party as a "no-nonsense" political force, according to the BBC.
'Battle for the soul of the nation'
Badenoch made the pledge while describing the political moment as a "battle for the soul of this nation," framing the stakes of the current political landscape in stark terms.
Policy details limited
The BBC's report did not specify the exact nature of the proposed inheritance tax changes, such as threshold adjustments or rate changes, nor did it include a timeline for when such changes might be implemented if the party returns to government.
The pledge forms part of Badenoch's broader effort to define the Conservative Party's identity and policy priorities under her leadership.
