Badenoch has a brilliant idea – will Reeves steal it?
It is what they call fox hunting season in Westminster, when parties race to steal their opponents’ best policies. To “shoot the fox” is to spoil the hunters’ fun. It is a brutal and ruthless sport — and so far, Kemi Badenoch is winning. Her “fox” — her pledge to abolish stamp duty — was a theatrical coup that sent Conservatives home from their conference happier than they had any right to be. And it makes a difficult Budget for Rachel Reeves even harder. When we describe this Budget as “difficult”, we are using the word in its high mandarin sense, by which a senior civil servant might advise a minister that the government may soon be entering a terminal crisis.
