Kemi Badenoch promises abolition of stamp duty - watch the ITV Evening News

Kemi Badenoch promised to abolish stamp duty if the Conservatives win the next election as she closed the party conference.

Having focused on borders in her opening address, Mrs Badenoch used her leader’s speech on Wednesday to set out her vision of a country where the state "does less but does it better" and "profit is not a dirty word".

She pledged to impose a "golden rule" on her budget plans, spending only half of any savings made through spending cuts, with the rest going to reduce the deficit.

And she said she would cut student numbers, saving £3 billion that would then be spent on doubling the apprenticeship budget.
