Hey Matt, what's going on?
0:01
So Kemmy Bay has just delivered her
0:04
leader speech as the climax of the
0:07
Conservative Party conference. It was a
0:09
pretty makeorb breakak speech for her.
0:11
There had been rumors swelling around
0:13
about a leadership contest, but the
0:15
headline policy announcement from Babe
0:18
was scrapping stamp duty. It's not quite
0:20
yet clear how it'll be funded as it
0:23
currently brings in12 billion a year,
0:25
but the tax is deeply unpopular.
0:27
Obviously, it recently brought down
0:29
Angela Raina who sides of it massive
0:32
complexities. So, this is something
0:33
which if it's comm's right could be very
0:36
popular for the opposition. And they've
0:38
been fighting for cutth through
0:40
especially now that they are competing
0:41
so hard with reform. They're hoping, the
0:44
tries are hoping that using the economy
0:47
as their main wedge between Labor and
0:50
the reform, pitching them as big
0:52
spenders and the Tories as prudent will
0:55
help them beat some pretty sluggish
0:57
polls. So, they're at about 16% at the
1:00
moment, struggling to cut through and
1:03
fighting even to keep in third place.
1:06
There's been a pretty warm reception
1:08
from the room. So, Alex Bghart, who was
1:11
a big backer of Benox's campaign and has
1:14
been a long-term supporter in the shadow
1:16
cabinet, he says it's one of the most
1:17
exciting conference speeches he's heard
1:19
in years. Obviously, the shadow cabinet
1:21
are excited about the speech, but the
1:23
big question is, will the public be?
1:25
Will this have the cutthrough they want?
1:27
And can the speech from Chem Badnock
1:31
change minds and shift poll numbers? And
1:33
