She will also try to lure Labour voters by stressing most local authorities are raising council tax by five per cent next month.
Ms Badenoch will say: “The Conservatives are the only party that stands up for families, for rural communities, and for local businesses.
“Labour pander to the unions.
“The Lib Dems waste your taxes.
“Reform have no experience running anything.
“The Conservatives will be your voice in your local community, delivering value for money, lower taxes and better services.”
It comes as new polling by YouGov has put the Tory chief’s favourability rating at 18 per cent.
Above her Mr Farage sits at 27 per cent while Sir Keir Starmer is on 32.
