Kemi Badenoch is expected to announce a plan to reduce inheritance tax during her speech at the Conservative Party conference, according to The Guardian. The Conservative leader is also set to argue that the UK is facing a "battle of ideas" over public spending.
The BBC reported the speech under the headline "Badenoch promises tax cuts." The Telegraph said her remarks were expected to focus on inheritance tax.
The conference comes as polling suggests a shift in the party's standing. The Independent reported that a new survey showed a drop in support for the Conservatives, with Reform pulling ahead.
Coverage of Badenoch's leadership has been pointed. In a Guardian opinion piece, columnist Owen Jones described her as the most rightwing leader in Conservative history and argued she has not received enough scrutiny.
The reporting offers few specifics on the tax plan itself. The available material does not include figures, timetables or details of how the policy would be funded, and none of the outlets cited here have published those details.
What to watch next: the full text of Badenoch's speech and any costings or fiscal details released alongside it.
