I wouldn't say today's was more professional,  most of it looks like stuff written on the back of a beermat just before closing time. Abolish an unpopular tax, make every penny count, deport 150000 people every year (whoever they might be and where to FFS?). She is completely out of her depth here and the shortcomings of other parties won't change that.

Best of a bad bunch then. Someone needs to start looking good because Labour aint blowing any frocks up yet and it'll be to the advantage of Reform. Farage aint going anywhere, Badenoch did enough to today to stay head of Conservatives but Starmer doesn't appear to have the backing of all at Labour to be safe. A party needs to head off Nige at the pass and one is a non starter at present

At least after today there's a chance it could develop into a 2 horse race rather than a romp home

SDLT raised £11.6bn for the government in the 2023-24 financial year , down from £15.4bn in 2022-23. Of this, £8.6bn was due to residential property purchases in 2023-24

Tories leaving bog financial holes again. I suppose they had 14 years of practice

Stamp duty is a stupid tax but there's zero revenue replacing capacity in the Tories plans, meanwhile the Lib Dems are also promising to abolish stamp duty in a very specific area but they actually plan to replace it with something.

As opposed to overpriced paddle boards with a hole in them

Abolish Stamp Duty.
I have bought one house in forty years.
I think once the Tories get in I will be moving house every year to reap the benefit.

There is a slight problem with your plan.
