UK Tories Summon Up Thatcher With Tax-Slashing Survival Plan.

The article discusses the Conservative Party's annual conference in Britain, where delegates sought inspiration from the late Margaret Thatcher, who would have turned 100 this year. Kemi Badenoch, the current Conservative leader, announced a proposal to eliminate stamp duty on home purchases, aiming to revitalize the party's appeal amid low poll numbers and competition from Nigel Farage's Reform UK. The conference highlighted the party's struggle with its past, particularly the legacy of former Prime Minister Liz Truss, while attendees expressed concerns about relying too heavily on Thatcher's ideals to address contemporary challenges. Badenoch's speech included new policy proposals intended to restore trust in the party's economic management. [Extracted from the article]
