Badenoch's tax-cut turn: a 'free-market revival' to The Independent, 'two cheers' from The Critic, 'a dance of death' to the Guardian's Toynbee

The Conservatives used their Birmingham conference to promise tax cuts and fewer regulations. Inheritance tax is the main target. One news report and two columns disagree on whether the turn wins voters back or loses more.

Tories pledge tax cuts in free-market revival

Anglosphere United Kingdom

What happened. On 5 October the shadow chancellor, Andrew Griffith, told the Conservative conference in Birmingham the party would aim to scrap "at least one tax every budget", The Independent reports. He named the packaging tax first. Kemi Badenoch is expected to cut inheritance tax in her speech on Wednesday.

What is reported, and how firmly. The detail of the inheritance-tax plan comes from The Times, relayed by The Independent. A party spokesperson told The Times it was "pure speculation". Griffith told Sky News the party would not "be able to do everything that we want to do on day one".

Three readings of one turn.

Outlet Type Verdict
The Independent news "free-market revival"; party sees room after Andy Burnham's "turn to the left"
The Critic opinion "two cheers": "economic instincts appear to have improved"
The Guardian (Polly Toynbee) opinion "dance of death": leaning right "repels home counties moderates"

The split. An unnamed senior Tory tells The Independent that Labour's shift gives the party room to cut taxes. Toynbee cites the academics Tim Bale and Rob Ford: without the "blue wall" there is no Tory majority.

What is not settled. - What Badenoch will actually announce: a rate cut, a higher threshold, or neither. - What any cut costs. None of the three reports we could read gives a figure. - How it is paid for. Only The Independent says, and only through The Times: welfare cuts. - Two more Independent reports carried no text we could read.

What this is about. The Conservative Party, now in opposition, is deciding what economic offer to put to voters, and has chosen tax cuts.

How it got here. The Conservatives governed the United Kingdom from 2010 until July 2024, when Labour won a large majority at a general election. Kemi Badenoch became Conservative leader in November 2024. Since then the party has faced a second rival on the right: Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage. The Independent puts the Conservatives third in the polling average, behind both Labour and Reform. We hold no poll that confirms the figure.

At last year's conference, in 2025, Badenoch promised to abolish stamp duty on home purchases, The Independent reports. This year's conference is in Birmingham. It follows Labour's conference in Liverpool, where Conservatives read a speech by Andy Burnham as a move to the left.

The tax at the centre. Inheritance tax is charged at 40 per cent on most estates over £325,000, or £500,000 where a home is left to children, The Independent reports. The threshold has been frozen for almost a decade, so more estates now pass it.

The actors. - Kemi Badenoch, Leader of the Opposition, gives her speech on Wednesday. - Andrew Griffith, her new shadow chancellor, sets the party's tax and spending line. - Reform UK, competing for the same right-leaning voters. - Labour, in government. Its chair, Bridget Phillipson, attacked Badenoch's conference document over the minimum wage. - The "blue wall": well-off seats in southern England that the party used to win, many now held by the Liberal Democrats.

What is at stake. The argument is about which voters the party chases. Tax cuts and deregulation aim at voters drifting to Reform. Critics such as Toynbee say the same turn pushes away moderates in the south, and without them a Conservative majority is out of reach.

Where it stands. The speech has not been given. The party says it will not announce cuts it cannot fund.

What is being argued about

  • Whether a tax-cutting turn wins back Reform voters or loses the 'blue wall'
  • Cutting inheritance tax: a lower rate, a higher threshold, or eventual abolition
  • How the cuts would be paid for, and what they would cost
  • Scrapping the packaging tax and bodies such as Natural England and the Environment Agency

Polly Toynbee's column: leaning right "repels home counties moderates". It cites Tim Bale and Rob Ford saying there is no Tory majority without the blue wall.
You can walk all the way from Somerset to Sussex without crossing a Tory-run constituency, if you wish. You could also travel through each of the counties of Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset and Surrey without setting foot in Tory lands. They are now mainly Liberal Democrat, and there’s not one Tory MP in all of Oxfordshire. Is Kemi Badenoch bothered? Everything she does seems cleverly designed to keep those places lost to her forever as she woos Reform voters, unsuccessfully. The more she leans right, the more she repels home counties moderates.

The Critic gives "two cheers": the party has "a long way to go" but its "economic instincts appear to have improved".
One thing that many in British politics and commentary seem to struggle with is the idea that if you want to change the country’s long-term trajectory you might have to change something about how you’re governing it. For example, Kemi Badenoch’s commitment to abolish the cliff edge created by clawing back the state child support allowance for households with an earner on over £100,000 has provoked much shock and affected puzzlement, even from some centre-right commentators. The argument is, of course, that public money is tight and ought to be spent on the worst off. This sounds convincing eno
