Kemi Badenoch's Battle of Ideas

Kemi Badenoch prepares for 鈥榖attle for soul of the nation鈥�

Today, Kemi Badenoch made her closing speech to Conservative party conference.

The Conservative leader said a 鈥渂attle for the soul of the nation鈥� is coming, before pitching her vision for her party鈥檚 rebrand. She pledged a much-briefed adjustment on inheritance tax - but stopped short of abolishing it altogether. And she had a lot to say about her political opponents. Adam, Alex and Chris are in Birmingham to unpack how the speech went down inside the conference centre, and what it might mean for voters across the country.
