corresponded is with us. to tell us what we have got in store. . , ., store. later this afternoon, the conservatives - store. later this afternoon, the conservatives have - store. later this afternoon, the conservatives have put| store. later this afternoon, - the conservatives have put down or holding an opposition day debate on that very contentious question that flowed from the budget, the government was my decision to put 20% inheritance tax on farms worth over £1 million. there was a massive process we saw in london last month and it is perhaps one of the only policies the new conservative leader has at the moment, which is to assess the lee mack reversed that policy and ifeel that lee mack reversed that policy and i feel that the lee mack reversed that policy and ifeel that the public lee mack reversed that policy and i feel that the public is on their side with that. they will try and keep pressure on the government so it may be something that kemi badenoch decides to raise at the premises questions. there is not a standout headline political story today that is the obvious one for the leader
11:55 am
of the opposition to go on.
11:56 am
the obvious one for the leader of the oppl they1 to go on. the obvious one for the leader of the oppl they have o on. the obvious one for the leader of the oppl they have pinned don't think they have pinned keir starmer on specific subject and made him very uncomfortable. he seems to be getting grips with the prime ministerial tactic of sidestepping the question and saying something he wants to instead. i think she is still working out how best to make an impact with this. last week she went on the question of tax and try to get the prime minister to echo rachel reeves�* comments to echo rachel reeves�* comments to the cbi conference last month that there will be no tax rises and further budgets. of course, we had that massive £40 billion tax rise back in october. the she then told the cbi that i would be something she would never repeat. there will be no taxes or borrowing on a scale for the rest of the parliament. subsequent comments by rachel reeves is not be quite as emphatic and again it could be something that kemi badenoch tries again this afternoon. she may also use the fact that the prime minister, we all know, is making a big speech tomorrow on the government�*s strategic priorities, setting targets for
11:57 am
how it wants to be measured over the course of the next four and a half years. the plan for change, it is called. i think it will be an attempt to show voters what they expect and targets that they want the government to be measured against by the time of the next election. it is also a moment, i think the keir starmer try to galvanise government and whitehall around his rarities. ministers have been saying, there�*s not a race or a relaunch but the tories have a ready dismiss it as precisely that. and it could be that that is what kemi badenoch decides to focus on because it is the first pmqs the garment have had since the resignation of the transport secretary. we since the resignation of the transport secretary. we had a second reading _ transport secretary. we had a second reading of _ transport secretary. we had a second reading of what - transport secretary. we had a second reading of what is - transport secretary. we had a i second reading of what is known is that this dying bill. that is that this dying bill. that is the first pmqs since then. potentially, that could as well. ., . , potentially, that could as well. ., ., , , well. potentially but it was
11:58 am
such a compelling - well. potentially but it was such a compelling debatel well. potentially but it was i such a compelling debate last friday and i think many people have talked about the powerful features that we had, the dignity with which the comments conducted itself, the fact that many mps across the parties had their own stories and experiences, either personal to them or that they have received from constituents about the question of assisted dying. i would be surprised if that is something that kemi badenoch went on. we know the government�*s position is to be officially neutral on this. it was of course a free vote among mps and we now await the next parliamentary stage of this to begin, which will be the committee stage and the committee stage and the committee is yet to be appointed. the index scrutiny will start early next year. kemi badenoch was opposed to the change of the law, keir starmer voted in favour of it. so there is a disagreement there. i would so there is a disagreement there. iwould be so there is a disagreement there. i would be surprised if thatis there. i would be surprised if that is something that she went on. i think more likely perhaps running around the economy. we
11:59 am
suspect that when sir keir starmer makes that speech tomorrow, he will change labour�*s ambition to have the highest economic growth in the g7. we expect that target to be refined and related something connected to more people�*s income. there was a report by the state of prisons. it is a stinging report. i�*m sure keir starmer will have that at his elbow as well. it is my honour to welcome him to
