Badenoch Speech: “Liz Truss on steroids”

8 Oct 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Kemi Badenoch announcing the Conservative Party would abolish stamp duty on primary homes, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson and Deputy Leaer, Daisy Cooper MP said:

"This speech was Liz Truss on steroids. No one is going to take the Conservatives' seriously on the economy or the housing market given the Truss mini-Budget sent mortgage rates soaring for families across the country.  

“The Conservatives had years to abolish stamp duty and failed to do so. Instead they hiked taxes for millions of people with their stealth income tax rises, which the Government needs to rule out repeating.”
