The world celebrates the 100th anniversary of photography.

100 years ago today, on October 6, 1826, Nicéphore Niépce took the earliest surviving photograph, “View from the Window at Le Gras.”

Reform says abolishing inheritance tax is “morally wrong”. I think it is morally wrong to punish people for doing the right thing - spending a lifetime working, saving, building up a business or a home to pass on to the next generation.

That’s why I’ve asked my team to explore fiscally responsible ways to do address this burden. The people caught by inheritance tax are mostly home-owning middle-class families due to house price inflation, diligent savers, and small-business owners.

The super-wealthy can afford trusts and sophisticated tax planning or move abroad.

Reform claims to be the party of working people, but its financial backers like Christopher Harborne don’t need to worry about ordinary inheritance tax planning, because they keep money in crypto or out of the country. 

Unlike Reform, I want ordinary families to be able to build generational wealth, not just the super-rich who can do so now. But we won’t make any announcement till there’s a clear plan.

The Conservative Party has always drawn support from people who work, save, build businesses and acquire a stake in society. Yes, that will sometimes include wealthy people. I make no apology for that. But it also includes millions of people who have worked hard, paid their dues and want what they have built to benefit their children, their communities or the causes they care about.

We are on their side.

Some personal news…

I am delighted to have been appointed as the Shadow Minister for Defence Procurement by Kemi Badenoch.

Having already been part of the Shadow Defence Team under James Cartlidge I will continue to work hard in holding the Government to account, ensuring that it meets its funding commitments and delivers on increasing defence spending.

With major programmes such as GCAP, AUKUS, Type 26/31, Ajax, Boxer and a myriad of others in flight, it is essential that the Ministry of Defence is scrutinised and challenged. Given the current and emerging threats we already face as well as the rapidly changing nature of modern warfare, it is critical that this Government delivers on defence and specifically procurement.

Not everything has to be looked at through the lens of discrimination.

Conservatives managed to choose our first woman leader 51 years ago. Meanwhile Labour are celebrating Andy Burnham as their first female Prime Minister.

Claire has been promoted because she is excellent and Conservatives believe in meritocracy.

If Harriet is worried about discrimination, there is plenty in her own party to keep her busy.

Boris Johnson promoted me to the Treasury while I was on maternity leave in 2020. Nobody did a podcast episode on it because we didn’t think it was remarkable. He just knew I could do the job.

Women do not need patronising theories to explain their success. That is the point.

Andy Burnham has been Prime Minister for five minutes and he is already laying the ground for tax rises.

Labour cannot control spending, so people who work hard and create jobs pay the price.

Conservatives will cut spending, lower taxes and get Britain working again.
