07.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Badenoch Vowed to Scrap Inheritance Tax
⌨
Coverage consolidated around Kemi Badenoch's closing Tory conference speech. Live blogs carried her promise to abolish inheritance tax on family homes, presented as ensuring nobody would pay it, alongside tax cuts and a warning that "fight is coming." Reporting then emphasized her rejection of any pact with Reform, quoting her dismissal of its figures as "drama queens" and "not like us." Supportive commentary read it as a return to conviction politics, critics as a giveaway for the rich offering workers nothing, while a Reform internal inquiry clearing staff over a donations sting was described as a whitewash.
Away from conference, London's October 7 anniversary marches drew coverage of clashes between pro-Palestine supporters and counter-protesters, with multiple arrests reported.
