Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Conservative Party, hinted at possible changes to inheritance tax as the party's annual conference began in Birmingham. Speaking ahead of the event, she suggested that cutting the tax could be "morally right," though only if it is fiscally responsible. Inheritance tax applies to estates worth more than £325,000, with a higher effective threshold for married couples due to transferrable allowances. The Conservatives also announced plans to reform childcare benefits, making all parents working 16 or more hours eligible for 30 hours of free care weekly, at an estimated cost of £700 million annually.
