Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has vowed to scrap stamp duty on all homes as part of a conference speech in which she said only the Tories could deliver a stronger economy and “stronger borders”.
To much applause, she said: “At the heart of a Conservative Britain is a country where people who wish to own their first home, can. But our housing market is not working as it should. The next Conservative government will abolish stamp duty.”
